Bangladesh is now an example of food production in the world, due to the decline of agricultural land, climate change, population growth, floods, drought, salinity and hostility. Bangladesh is moving behind the average production of rice, wheat and maize in the world. The government is giving all possible assistance to farmers. The current government-launched agricultural materials assistance card has been widely praised in the country and abroad. In pursuit of Bangladesh, the Government of India has taken initiative to provide Agricultural Material Assistance Cards. Since independence, Bangladesh's rice production has more than tripled, wheat doubled, vegetables five times (multiplication) and maize production increased ten times. Two years ago, half of the country had one crop and the rest in two areas. Currently there are two crops growing on average annually in the country. The breakthrough is due to the joint efforts of the government's timely plans, hard working farmers and talented agricultural scientists and extension men. After independence, two tons of rice was produced per hectare of land in the country. Now the production per hectare is more than four tons. If you count the paddy it is 6 tons. Moreover, the average production of maize in the world per hectare is 5.12 tons. In Bangladesh, the rate is 6.98 tons. Bangladesh is producing 10.34 tons per hectare of food-grains and the United States is on the top of Bangladesh.  Bangladesh is followed by Argentina, China and Brazil. And in this way, Bangladesh has emerged as one of the top countries in the world in terms of increasing the production of major cereals. Bangladesh ranks fourth in rice production in the world Bangladesh has set a record food production of about 300 million tons of paddy in the Aman, Aus and Boro seasons. This success of agriculture is also playing a vital role in the economic development of Bangladesh as a whole. The average productivity in the world is about three tons, and in Bangladesh it is 4.15 tons. Third in the production of vegetables The traditional vegetable revolution has occurred in the country in the last one era. According to data from the United Nations Agricultural and Food Organization, Bangladesh is now the third largest producer of vegetables in the world. At one time, vegetables were cultivated only in Jessore in the central and northern and southwestern part of the country. Now almost all areas of the country are cultivating vegetables all year round. Now, 60 types and 200 varieties of vegetables are being produced in the country. Fourth Bangladesh in fish production Once upon a time the word 'Mache-bhate-Bengali' was confined to the book, now it is real. Bangladesh is the fourth largest producer of fish in the world. Fish exports increased 5 times. The FAO predicts that Bangladesh will be the first of the four countries to achieve huge success in fish farming by 2022. Then Thailand, India and China. Bangladesh is the fourth largest producer of goats in the world Bangladesh ranks fourth in goat production and fifth in goat meat production. The Black Bengal Goat has been recognized as the best breed in the world. Seventh Bangladesh in mango production South Asia accounts for more than half of the world's total mango production. Bangladesh is in the top ten in producing fruit. According to the latest assessment by the Agricultural and Food Organization (FAO), this achievement has been possible through the production of about one million tons of mangoes in the last two years. The success of potato production is a surprise Production was below half a million tons a decade ago. Now it is moving towards billions of tons. This success has brought Bangladesh to the top ten countries of potato producing countries. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has been recognized. Bangladesh is also at the top of crop varieties innovation Success of the scientists of Bangladesh in the development of new varieties of crops is also increasing. The Bangladesh Jute Research Institute (BJRI), in addition to several varieties, has already uncovered the life of jute. So far, scientists of Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) and Bangladesh Nuclear Agricultural Research Institute (BINA) have developed tolerant rice varieties in a total of 13 hostile environments. 9 of these are salt-tolerant, drought-tolerant 2 and 2 to bear the flood they invented rice varieties. For the first time in the world, agricultural researchers of Bangladesh invented a variety of zinc-rich. Bangladesh is also at the top of the world in terms of innovation for tolerant rice varieties in developing countries. Among the achievements of Bangladesh after independence, the increase in crop production is most notable. It is also an example for any developing country in the world. Source: AIS
