Vegetable is a crucial component in a balanced diet and there is no alternative to be healthy without it.

But do you know there are 157 types of vegetables that Bangladesh produces every year?

A few days ago, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Department of Agricultural Extension organised National Vegetables Fair and Exhibition 2016 at Khamarbari in Dhaka.

Many agricultural institutions participated in the fair and put their vegetable production on display for three days there.

Agriculture Minister Matia Chowdhury inaugurated the fair on January 17.
