description This paper investigates the problems in communication between Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) and the farmers of Bangladesh and identifies the ways of improvement of it. How the communication is going on between these two parties and what is their perception on each other has been examined as well. I developed semi-structured interviews to collect information from the farmers and officers who work at DAE. I used the concept of environmental communication in order to analysis the data that I gathered from the informants as a co producer. The results show that there are a lot of difficulties in communication and those are famers’ reliability on predominant farming, Pre-understanding, Misunderstanding, Problems within the organization, Communication on irregular basis, Due to overlooked of farmers’ need, Unfair and corruption with poor infrastructure and Lack of sufficient inputs.The findings argue that Need assessment, co-operation, participation, trust, developed infrastructure are the necessary factors what are the ways of improvement of that communication. It is also found that DAE transfers new technologies without considering the background of target groups. Based on findings, Farmers are perceived as laggards by the employees where farmers perceive that extension agents are dishonest and don’t care their capability.
