Abstract

The preceding chapter provided empirical evidence about the growth of crop production in Bangladesh and pointed out that the means of increasing agricultural supply in Bangladesh have altered from extension of area cropped to intensified cultivation of land already cultivated following the Green Revolution. The objective of this chapter is to assess quantitatively the importance of biological technology in increasing foodgrain production on cropped land following the Green Revolution. Many writers have claimed that the new biochemical components of the Green Revolution technologies have the greatest impact in raising cropped land. The main purpose is to apply the innovative empirical study by Diwan and Kallianpur (1985) in a new context, namely Bangladesh, to see whether the empirical results conform to those obtained from India and to comment critically on the method employed by Diwan and Kallianpur (1985, 1986).
