Bangladesh is primarily an agrarian economy. Agriculture is the single largest producing sector of the economy since it comprises about 20% of the country’s GDP and employing around 60% of the labor force. The performance of this sector has an impact on major macroeconomic objectives like employment generation, poverty alleviation, human resources development and food security. Hence utmost priority should be given to its proper development of this sector so that our nation can achieve total self-sufficiency in agricultural production. As our country is prone to natural calamities, measures should be taken so that progress of this sector is not halted. In addition to government support, the local firms must develop modern agricultural equipment, effective fertilizer distribution; pesticides and other crop protective items at a low cost so that it is accessible to the poor farmers. Currently major emphasis is given on increasing production of major crops like rice to make the country self-sufficient in producing staple food. There are renewal interests in growing other crops like wheat, maize etc.
