Agriculture Transformation of Bangladesh Economy

I chose the topic agriculture transformation in Bangladesh because of its importance both practically and theoretically. Agriculture plays a pivotal role in Bangladesh’s economy and in the lives of the vast majority of its population. While this crucial sector accounts for about one fourth (19.6%) of Bangladesh’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and 63% of the national employment, it faces serious challenges posed by low productivity and the decline of land availability. The situation is further aggravated due to global warming scenarios. The GDP share of individual sub sectors are about 13% for crops, 3% for livestock, 5% for fisheries and 2% for forestry.
