Bangladesh | Rice Production and Export

Bangladesh is going to be the top rice producer in the world. Rice production in the country is increasing. According to the area of the countries, Bangladesh is the world's number one rice producer. If this continues, the country will be the role model of the world. And for this success, the marginal farmers have become milestones in the history agriculture in the country.

Despite the many problems and natural disasters, the rice sector has achieved unprecedented success. Although there is a small area of cultivated ​​land, farmers have set a peak in rice production this year. They achieved record production of 3 million 62 million 79 thousand of tons. Bangladesh has never been able to produce that amount after the Independence.

Bangladesh is now able to export after meeting the country's demand by raising the target for rice production. In the meantime another milestone reaches Bangladesh by exporting rice. Through this, the trend of economic activity and livelihood is changing in agricultural development. The people of the country are seeing a new horizon of new varieties of innovation. This is a new dream in agriculture sector which will be the role model of the world. Thousands of foreign currency will be earnings through the way farmers are spreading in the rural areas of the country.

According to the latest estimate of the Department of Agricultural Extension of Bangladesh, 3 million 62 million 79 thousand tons of rice was produced in the year 2018. The rice demand of Bangladesh is 2 million and 91 million tons. There are additional 71 lac and 79 thousand tons of rice remains. In 2011, wheat production was 11 lac and 53 thousand tons, corn 38 lac 93 thousand tons, potato 1 crore 3 lac 17 thousand tons, pulses 10 lac and 31 thousand tons, oilseed 9 lac and 70 thousand tons and vegetables produced around 1 crore 59 lac and 54 Thousand of tons.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, in the continuation of the productivity of the crop, in the financial year 2017-18, the grainy grains target was 4.77 lac 14 thousand tons. The production has been 4 million 13 lac and 25 thousand tons. And the country is now self-contained in the grainy food. In 2006, the production of grainy grains in the country was two million 61 million and 33 thousand tons. One and two cropped land has been turned into a particular area of ​​about three or four cropland. At present, the crop intensity in the country is 216 percent. In 2006, the intensity was 180 percent.

Currently, Bangladesh is the fourth largest producer of rice in the world. So far, 108 high yielding varieties have been invented with salinity, drought, waterlogged tolerance and zinc-rich rice. By 2021, the target of production will be more. The successor of the successor, the common farmer spread all over the country. In addition, there are more varieties of new Rice discovered at Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI). The cultivation of these paddies cultivates the smiling face today.

After years of cultivation of land, the country is going forward in rice production. To reach the goal, more than 120 tons of seeds are supplied by Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) to farmers every year. If these seeds properly supplied to the actual farmer, 37 million tons of rice will be produced by 2021, which will be possible to export abroad by meeting the country's demand.

The BRRI researchers have been able to discover 94 types of rice seeds in a tireless work. This includes 6 hybrids. More than 120 tons of seeds are supplied through the dealer with one thousand licensees each year. If the dealers supply it correctly to the actual farmers at the marginal level and there is no natural disaster or political instability in the country - then 10 percent more rice will be produced by 2021.

However, it can be possible to produce 3 crore and 70 lac tons of rice. Bangladesh is not moving towards digital only, it is also going ahead in agriculture with food production. Despite facing multifaceted problems and natural disasters, unprecedented success has been achieved in this sector. Shortly, the farmers of the country brought huge success in food production. Bangladesh has been able to export abroad to meet the country's demand for rice. In the meantime another milestone reaches Bangladesh by exporting rice.

The change in economic activity and livelihood is changing in the development of agriculture. The people of the country are seeing a new horizon of innovation in the development of new rice varieties. A burning example of self-sufficiency in food is that last year 50,000 tons of rice was exported to Sri Lanka from Bangladesh. Millions of ordinary farmers of this country are continuously successful in this artisan. Bangladesh has set a record for farmers' labor, supervision of agriculture officials, research of agricultural scientists and the government's willingness to produce rice.

BRRI has invented 94 varieties of rice varieties, including 6 hybrids and 88 high yielding. Of these, 35 are for transplant Amon season, 35 for Boro season, 4 for Ropa Aus season, 7 for Bona Aus seasons, 1 for Ropa and Bona aus, and 12 varieties of boro aus season. However, the most popular rice in the Aman season is BR-11 and Boro Rice 28 and 29 in the Boro season. Apart from this, there are 8 hybrid varieties, 8 salt-tolerant, 2 water-soluble, 2 cold-seasoned, 2 drought-tolerant and 2 drought-prone, 3 zinc-rich and 4 varieties of paddy and fragrant products.

From the beginning 1970, BRRI has been working to increase the production of high yielding rice varieties and rice production. In the last 46 years rice production has more than tripled. As a result, BRRI has earned worldwide reputation in rice researching field. The researchers said that Bangladesh has achieved tremendous success in the production of rice. The government is supervising the BRRI several different ways. Since the establishment of BRRI in 1970, the seasonal and environment-friendly high yielding varieties (Ufshi) are cultivating rice, soil, water, fertilizers, and other techniques for the production of rice.

Harvested varieties of rice are grown in 80 percent of the country's total paddy land. And it is available from 90% of the total production. Bangladesh is the fourth largest producer of rice in the world, but the average yield of hectare is 4.2 tons. In China, Japan and Korea this yield is 5 to 6 tons per hectare. Considering the increase in the yield of the rice in line with the food demand of the growing population of the country, the use of Ufshi paddy and modern production technology is being popularized among peasants by abandoning the traditional varieties of rice and the demand of the cultivation period.
