The country is situated between Myanmar and India, with a population of 163 million people. So, what are the pros and cons of moving to this countrY? Extensive flooding, cyclones and famine are definitely disadvantages. But, what about the economy of the country, and potential development of agriculture? Considering fertile soil and rivers like the Ganges, Megha Rivers and the Brahmaputra that are regularly flooding, it’s no wonder that around two-thirds of Bangladeshi workers make a living from agriculture. The direct consequence of this agricultural production is a very low price of, for example, potato, onion or tomato. They all cost less than a dollar per kg. That’s quite an advantage, right? But, let’s see what is next on our list of cheapest countries to live in the world.
