“…The World Bank (WB) has of course a relevant position in determining energy policy and a recognized experience on energy projects. Its strategic plan for energy for the next decades is described in Mukhi (2020), WB identifies the transformation of energy systems as one of their priority areas for cross cutting solutions, and considers that electrification, decarbonization, and decentralization are key actions for the future. Based on IEA figures, they predict electricity consumption to double by 2050, with most of the growth located in developing countries.…”

This paper presents a critical review of the multidisciplinary work done on energy poverty in developing regions, a topic that presents remarkable differences with energy poverty in OECD countries. These efforts have resulted in the establishment of strategies to fight against energy poverty and to expand basic energy supplies (to leave no one behind, LNOB, one of the central statements on the Sustainable Development Agenda), in developing regions. Alongside they have produced the proposal of different indicators to characterize energy poor households and their problems. These broad topics, currently in the spotlight, are linked with other long-term lines of research, such as the design and implementation of alternative technological solutions for sustainable and affordable energy supply or (as a part of the discussion on the concept of development) the conceptual identification of capabilities, needs and rights that are energy related. We discuss the different lines of work and the interactions of the different aspects.

“…In Bangladesh, traditional paddy harvesting with a sickle is a time-consuming, expensive, and labor-intensive task. Nowadays, workers migrate to cities or abroad to engage in more remunerative employment, particularly in the garments and construction sectors and high labor wages in peak harvesting season (15). Developed countries like South and Southeast Asia are using automatic combine harvester for harvesting cereal grains, and as a medium grade technology, and many developing countries are using a reaper for harvesting rice to minimizing production cost and are thereby, making agricultural production economical (1).…”

“…According to projections, the output of rice and wheat would need to expand by 0.4 and 2.17% yearly to keep up with the two million people who will be added to the population each year (4). Bangladesh has to increase food production from the same amount of land, while also reducing the demand for farm labor as a result of the nation's increasingly lucrative alternative types of employment (15). Every year, natural disasters and a lack of time during the harvesting period cause a significant amount of field losses of rice (10).…”

Mechanized paddy harvesting is currently limited in Bangladesh, but the pace of mechanization is increasing. Harvesting must be done on time to minimize losses and timely harvesting depends on the availability of harvesting machinery. The aim of this study was to find out the state of mechanized paddy harvesting technologies in Sylhet region over the last five years. The study was conducted in all upazilas under the Sylhet region to compare mechanized and manual paddy harvesting technologies. Structured questionnaire was used to collect data. The survey revealed the changes in mechanization status in 2022 compared to the previous four years. In the study area, the average paddy cultivable area was 0.91 million hectares. The pace of mechanized harvesting in Sylhet, Sunamganj, Habiganj, and Moulvibazar district were 31.49%, 24.41%, 19.59%, and 15.95%, respectively. On the basis of the provided data, from 2018 to 2022 the number of harvesting machines increased from 547 to 1852. The manual method, combine harvester, and reaper were used to harvest 76.20%, 21.90%, and 1.90% of the total projected area respectively in 2021-2022. The study revealed that combine harvester covered around 87.47% area than reaper. In 2022, among the 40 upazilas, the most machines were found at Nabiganj upazila in Habiganj district =106, and the fewest machines were found at Barlekha upazila in Moulvibazar district =10. The trend of manual paddy harvesting has declined in Sylhet region due to the increase in the number of harvesting machines. So, harvesting machineries are needed in this region to update paddy harvesting mechanization status.
