Agricultural technology potential for rice in Bangladesh
Bangladesh has excellent conditions for rice production, with production possible during up to three seasons in a year. Production in Bangladesh increased rapidly during the 1960s to 1990s as a result of Green Revolution technologies fueled by short-duration varieties, irrigation, and fertilizers. G...

| description | Bangladesh has excellent conditions for rice production, with production possible during up to three seasons in a year. Production in Bangladesh increased rapidly during the 1960s to 1990s as a result of Green Revolution technologies fueled by short-duration varieties, irrigation, and fertilizers. Given the rapidly vanishing land base due to increased population density, urbanization, land degradation and climate change, technological change remains the key factor determining the potential for productivity growth of the agriculture sector in Bangladesh. The need for accelerated technological change was further sharpened as a result of the recent food price crises, which have led to increased calls for food self-sufficiency in the country (Asaduzzaman et al. 2010). |
