Trend of Agro Products in Bangladesh
Preface:
As a part of the educational program in post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Management at Bangladesh institute of Management we have had to present an assignment under the course of Managerial Economics. In this context we have created a group named as Padma consisting three members and choose the subject on Business trend of Agro based processed food in Bangladesh. We have chosen the topic since the country like Bangladesh highly populated in nature faces the biggest challenge as feeding the people. On the other hand agro food processing sector helps most in the direct and indirect employment generation in rural area. To prepare this paper we have taken help from the world Banks study on Bangladesh development series paper 21, ILO report on Skills for trade and economic diversification in Bangladesh 2011 and Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics. We express our gratitude to the authors and publishers of those studies and book.

    The largest and biggest contributor to Bangladesh’s economy is the agricultural sector. Seen often as the ‘unsung’ hero of our growth revolution, it still serves as the most significant industry in this country. In spite of its large contribution to employment, relatively speaking, its contribution to GNP falls short of expectations. Hence, as with other developing countries, the agriculture sector in Bangladesh can be classified as predominantly being ‘traditional’. This implies that it is mainly comprised of small households that suffer from technological stagnation, unskilled labor, and supply chain and market linkage problems.…

    Rice is the staple food of around 162.2 million people of Bangladesh and with the green revolution, subsequent liberalization policies, and introduction of HYV or MV rice has turned a dependent nation into almost self dependent in respect of food grain production. The country produces around 27-28 million tons of rice annually, against the requirement of around 30 million tons of rice. An insignificant amount of Aromatic rice is also exported. The country requires around 5 million tons of wheat against the production of around 2.5 million to 3 million tons. In a nut shell to meet the local demand of food grain Bangladesh need to import 2-3 million tons of rice and 2-2.5 million tons of wheat yearly. In overall, agricultural production planning has turned to market oriented or market driven approach with little exception to the rice production for obvious reason of local food security particularly in turn of the global crises in the food grain market during the 2008-2010 period. Unlike the previous crises, the recent one showed that even money is not always enough to buy a particular produce from the world markets if the crises is too pervasive. Even the exporting country might need to restrict export for won security. In respect of open and free market economy, (from global to regional to local level) performance of the marketing system of any agricultural produce whether public or private will denote the market stability and consumer satisfaction completing and helping to continue the economic production cycle of any commodity. Particularly in the developing countries public food procurement and distribution systems are common as tools of providing market stability and meeting emergency.…
