Chapter 5 in The Economy of Bangladesh, 2015, pp 52-66 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Bangladesh is widely perceived, both domestically and externally, as an agricultural country. Almost by any measure, other than the “principal occupation of the labor force”, this has long ceased to be true. By now just over a sixth of GDP originates in agricultural activities (Table 2.2) and well below a quarter of incomes of the households is derived from farming (Table 5.1).1
