###The importance and role of agriculture in economic development ###

Hello! My Steemit friends, I'm Sharmin. I live in Bangladesh. Today I will tell you about the economic importance of agriculture in Bangladesh.

Agriculture for economic development

It is very important to extend our support to the government's liberal outlook towards the driving force of our national economy and one of the key sectors of food, protein and nutrient demand. Today's text, dedicated to the humble tribute to the peasants of Bengal farmers, welcomed the year 2018.

Agriculture is no longer just rice and jute production. Agriculture is the most elaborate area, which, on the one hand, brings foreign currency by exporting abroad by meeting the demand for foodgrains, while on the other hand, the country has improved the nutritional needs and has created avenues for generating large-scale employment. Another notable aspect of agriculture in Bangladesh is that the opportunity to become an entrepreneur in relatively low capital is created in agriculture alone. These multipurpose productive agricultural farms are being developed in the center of many food processing industries, food products and small businesses of agricultural production aids. It is difficult to say in a little bit, because the agricultural sector is expanding towards agriculture from agricultural to large scale in the development of multipurpose workplaces in national development. Besides increasing the productivity of agriculture, Bangladesh is giving special importance to the development of agro-based small and medium industrial sectors. Flowers, fruits, vegetables and other crops, fish, poultry, milk etc. are being developed in separate industrial sectors. Besides, there is also a combination of various agricultural equipments, including bamboo, cane, jiggery, which are growing in the agro-based industries. Among these, one of the industry's coolest parties has written the name of Bangladesh on the list of World Heritage. Agro-based industries include poultry farm, dairy farm, food processing industry, fish frozen and processing industry. The food processing industry is one of the leading and potential sectors in the agricultural sector. We know that our food processing industry is a multipurpose field. There are approximately 700 food processing companies in the country.

Our unexpected improvement in agricultural sector has been improved. Even though the proportional contribution of agriculture to the economy of Bangladesh decreases, the total agricultural production is increasing even with limited and limited land with the speed of population growth. The use of advanced technology in agriculture, seeds, fertilizers and machines is the main reason behind the increase in production. We have a special contribution to our agricultural scientists. Those who have developed hard work and intensive research, have developed high yielding varieties of low-yielding varieties and environment-friendly new varieties. Along with rice and jute, food grains, vegetables, varieties of fruits, sea and sweet water, cattle, poultry meat and eggs, improved poultry and dairy production have increased a lot. In many cases, Bangladesh's agriculture is fighting top priority in the global manufacturing list. So agriculture is now the name of overall progress. Approximately 80 percent of Bangladesh's population and 60 percent of the labor force are engaged in agriculture. If there is no natural disaster Bangladesh is getting renowned as a rice exporting country. 55 percent of the country's rice comes from Boro. Boro crop production has increased almost five times. Although in the 46 years of independence, nearly 20 percent of the cultivation of land was reduced, but rice production increased four times. Many agricultural crops and products of our country are well-respected in different countries of the world. Nagramich, Habiganj lemon, Kachur Loti etc. are very popular in our strangers abroad. If the government allows the facilitating grain-based industries, multilateral agricultural industries will be organized in remote areas of the country. As a result, there will be a large number of employment of local manpower, as well as reduce the rate of crop loss.
