Introduction:

Bangladesh has a primarily agrarian economy . Our country is theagricultural based country . Agriculture is the single largest andmost important producing sector of Bangladesh's economy witha growing population and one of the world's lowest land areasper caput . 80% of the population is engaged in agriculture (66%

of the labor force) . Fifty-seven percent of the labor force isengaged in the crop sector which represents about 78% of thevalue added in the agricultural sector. The share of agriculture inGDP has fallen from around 57% in the 1970s to 35% in recentyears but is still the largest economic sector. It is also the sourceof many of the small industrial sector's raw materials, such as

jute, and accounts for 32% of the value of exports.we can earn lotof forex by exporting agricultural products. In short, agriculture isthe driving force behind economic growth in Bangladesh and, asa result, increasing food and agriculture production have alwaysbeen major concerns of Bangladeshi policy-makers.

Sources of data:

This report is prepared based on primary and second data withspecial emphasis practical observation. While preparing thereport, information has been taken from the following sources:

The primary sources: Observation of the practical activities of farmers in the fields

Informal interviews of the respective officers and the sum offarmers

Practical work experience from the officers and farmers

The Secondary data:

Daily newspaper

Searching different websites.

Information Collection:

We collect our information by pactical work inmany fields in rural areas. We were gone todifferent districts of ruralside areas . We hadasked some question to the farmers , officersand reasercher.

When they start their work ?

What type of problem thay face ?

Is there any problem to farmers by working dayand night ?

What the farmers earn by the exporting

products ?

An overview of the project:

To meet these objectives, it was decided to mobilize INRAs capacities for economic modeling,as well as multidisciplinary expertise of the institute in agronomy, animal production,environmental sciences, nutrition etc in the context of a foresight approach.

In practice, representation and simplified hypotheses concerning the factors governing globaldemand and regulatory tools (international trade regulations and agricultural policies) wereestablished, enabling the construction of scenarios as combinations of these hypotheses. Theeffects of these different scenarios on agriculture, the agrifood industry and the environmentwere determined firstly, using economic simulation models, secondly, based on work byspecialist panels.

Placing agricultural policies in perspectives was then achieved by comparing the situationsassociated with each scenario: what are the contextual factors for demand and regulationthat have the greatest influence on agriculture? Which synergies between these factors arethus highlighted? What are the margins for manover for government action? What are the

conditions necessary for their efficiency or necessity?

This project was carried out in the context of a programmed involving INRAs foresight unitand economic modelling experts from its Social Sciences ,agriculture and food , ruraldevelopment and environment Divition (SAFE2). A group of experts representing a broadrange of skills and professinal points of view provided supporrt throughout the proces,drawing up scenarios and analytical grids for their consequences and enhancinginterpretations of the results of modelling and panel work thorugh their reactions and

discussions

Economical analysis:Invest for development of farmers:Bangladesh need lots skill farmers. But most of the farmers of our country is skilled or unskilled. Government should more invest to

increases skill farmer.Show the budget for farmer and development of farmer in every year

But this amount is insufficient for our farmer. Government should invest more money to development of farmers.

According to Export Promotion Bureau, raw jute and jute goods worth 16.3 million

dollars and 0.96 million euros have been exported from this region in October of the

current year. In November, raw jute worth 1.45 million dollars and 73 thousand euros

has been exported to 14 countries.

Sharp decline in jute export

The role of Fisheries and Livestock sectors in the development of agro-based economy

of Bangladesh is very important and promising. They contribute around 8% to national

income, which also is 32% of the total agricultural income. About 90% of animal protein

in our diet comes from fish and livestock.

The main functions of the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock are to preserve fisheries

resources, fulfill the requirement of animal protein through proper management andplanned development, increase socio-economic conditions of fishermen, create

employment opportunities for rural unemployed and landless people, expand foreign

exchange earnings by exporting fish and fishery products and to innovate new

technologies through research for fisheries development and preservation.

Exportation:

Bangladesh is the world's leading exporter of raw jute andjute products, including carpet backing, twine and sacking.It accounts for as much as 24% of world jute production.

Export earnings from fish and fish products, in particularshrimp, are also sizeable, and followed by export earningsfrom the leather industry. Natural gas production is ofincreasing importance. Its major product, urea fertilizer, hasmore than doubled in output in the last decade and thecountry now exports fertilizer mainly to neighboring Asiancountries. Within the agriculture sector, tea follows jute asan important cash crop and export product; however itrepresented only 1% of the country's total export earningsin 1994/95.

Development of agriculture

The Ministry of Agriculture helps the agriculture, food and bioproduct1 sectors to grow and achieve

economic, social and environmental sustainability, supporting the delivery of safe, healthy and high

quality food and bioproducts.

The Ministry:

Delivers programs to stabilize farm incomes against circumstances beyond farmers control;

Works to balance urban / agriculture interests;

Supports a regulatory system and practices that promote environmentally sustainable systems, fsafety and socially responsible production practices;

Monitors and manages the risk of diseases that threaten B.C.s plant and animal production sys

Provides guidance to the sector to increase innovation, competitiveness and profitability to met

consumer demands;

Supports the agriculture industry to contribute to the green economy;

Works with other ministries, federal partners and other governments, stakeholders and industryensure sustainable marine fisheries; and,

Supports the growth and development of the seafood sector.

The Ministry relies on inter-agency partnerships such as those with the Agricultural Land

Commission and the B.C. Farm Industry Review Board. The Commission is an administrative

The limitation of the

report: First of all the time limitation, it is not possible to gather allthe information about the agriculturel crops and its effectsbased on some fields in this short period.

As an assignment it was not possible for us to collect all the

necessary information. We had to complete this report within a very short span of

time that was not sufficient for investigation.

Besides this, it was very difficult to carry out the wholeanalysis on the basis oflimited scope of field

Also some farmers and officers are very reluctant to give theinformation about the agricultural materials and fields and itseffects on their daily activities.

Conclution

The agriculture sector is the single largest contributor to income and employment

generation and a vital element in the countrys challenge to achieve self-sufficiency

in food production reduce rural poverty and foster sustainable economic

development. The Government has therefore accorded highest priority to thissector to enable the country to meet these challenges and to make this sector

commercially profitable.

Agriculture is the determining factor for food security as well as pro-poor development

of Bangladesh economy.

The Problems of agriculture are multifaceted. So the ways of addressing the

challenges should be comprehensive, global and participatory for sustainable

agricultural development.


25/27

Hope government will take the agricultural issue seriously and we the peoples will b

benefited. We have also face to solve the problem. Wih the significant decline in juteprojuction ,diversification is essential to break into export markets and continue to

make a significant contribution to GDP. We should do any work which will increase

development of the agriculture
