Pulses in Bangladesh: Production, Problems, Prospects, and Future Plans
نویسنده
چکیده
The area under pulse production has decreased continuously for the last 10 years in Bangladesh. With the expansion of irrigation facilities, the area allocated to production of cereal crops has increased significantly, while pulses have been pushed to marginal lands of low productivity. Additional production of pulses can be achieved by (1) increasing productivity through improved varieties, (2) increasing area (utilizing fallow lands by introducing new cropping patterns), (3) improving management practices, (4) introducing pulse cultivation in nontraditional areas, (5) improving postharvest technology, (6) developing marketing systems and credit facilities, and (7) improving linkages between research and extension. To meet demand, the total production of pulses must increase by 25–37 percent by the year 2010.
