Present Status of Crop Diversification in Bangladesh

Crop diversification is an old traditional practice in Bangladesh but currently due to introduction of different irrigation facilities to deep tube well, shallow, power pump etc. This traditional crop production practiced have been changed. As a result, the area of rice crop has increased at the cost of diversified crops such as pulses, Oil seeds and other crops. Some present situation regarding crop diversification in Bangladesh are mentioned below
1.  Statistical  Information:  There  is  no  scope  to  know  the  actual  position  of  crop  diversification  in  Bangladesh  because the farmers does not keep information about it. Besides this, the government of Bangladesh does not take any conducive step to collect. Such type information only the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) collect some relevant information. 
In Bangladesh, there are 33.1 lake hectare of double cropped area and 6.6 Lakh Hectare of triple cropped area.  (BBS 1980 & BBS 1989).

· Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI). 
· Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation (BADC). 
· Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE).

4. Transfer Program: All improve technologies are not acceptable to the farmers. It’s acceptability depends on new crop, cultivation in farmers farming system, time by utilization of technology and profitability and sustainability of the technology. Technologies in farming system extension under crop diversification are mentioned below
