The Agriculture Census 2019, the sixth in its series, is an agricultural statistical venture of Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS). Not only has Bangladesh recorded persistent economic growth of 7.86 to 8.13%, but it has also achieved a substantial reduction in poverty rate. Bangladesh retains a strong commitment to social cohesion and to a progressive development agenda. The accelerated economic growth in the country is a consequence of this socio-economic development particularly in regards to the growth of agriculture sector. In many fields in agriculture, Bangladesh has a very successful history especially in the production of paddy, fruits, fish and milk. This census data will be used as benchmark data in estimating authentic agriculture production for ensuring food security of the country.
