Bangladesh began its journey in 1971 with a production of 10 million
Metric Ton rice, the staple food for its about 76 million people inhabiting
in a 142 thousand square kilometers of land. Despite shrinking of
cultivable lands due to the growing population, expansion of industrial
sectors, and also severe impacts of climate change, Bangladesh
managed to triple its rice production which is over 34 million Metric Ton
now in a cultivable land of 8.5 million hectares only. The contribution of
agriculture sector to the GDP of the nation is 14.75 percent and it still
absorbs the biggest share of labour force. Bangladesh has made
remarkable development in agriculture sector in recent years. It Is not
doubt that the agriculture sector of Bangladesh is a Major sector and investing in this sector is almost
always rewarding because the country has such a long term experience in the industry. Not only does
the Nation successfully grow enough crops to feed its population but it is also involved in mass export
of Rice, Jute & Tea. It is said that approximately 30% of Bangladesh’s GDP comes from agriculture and
this sector employs 60% of the Labour force of the country- which makes it largest producing economic
sector of the country.
