Abstract: Rice is the main cash crop and staple food for people of Bangladesh. Per capita consumption of rice is about 170 kg per year. After independence, rice production gradually increases in Bangladesh, however due to population pressure; a sharp gap exists between production and consumption during the period of 1972 to 2008. Despite pressure from overpopulation, Bangladesh has reached self-sufficiency in rice production and secured fourth position among the highest rice producing countries in the world.
