Abstract:

The level of economy development and openness in the core area of Bangladesh, China, India, Myanmar Economic Corridor is very low. To solve the problem of food security and promote the construction of economic corridor, historical review and factors analysis of current food security was conducted by interpretation of documents and field study. We found that: since the middle of 20th, the food security level of Bangladesh, India and Myanmar, which were British colonies, was still at low stage of severe food supply and demand situation, limited by the stage and level of socioeconomic development, agricultural policies and extreme climate condition. So, under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative: to Bangladesh, the cooperation of agricultural technology and talents education may improve its land productivity and food supply; to Myanmar, the cooperation of agricultural infrastructure, grain storage and circulation construction may improve its food security level; to India, cooperation of agricultural machinery may improve its grain productivity of labor.

Key words: food security, Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, The Belt and Road Initiative
