Abstract

Crop production is central to the agricultural economy of Bangladesh and therefore, in considering increased agricultural output in Bangladesh, we concentrate on crop produciton. The critical importance of the crop sector to Bangladeshi agriculture apart, it is analysed because of the availability of relatively more reliable time series data than are available for livestock, forestry and fisheries. Furthermore, the technological changes generally identified with the Green Revolution are confined to crop production and primarily to rice and wheat and to some extent to jute and sugar cane. The introduction of the new technology in Bangladesh, as in many LDCs, has substantially altered the nature of agricultural production (Dalrymple, 1985; Herdt and Capule, 1983; Staub and Blase, 1974; Alauddin and Mujeri, 1986a, 1986b).
