| dcterms.abstract | This two-page brief presents results from the first round of DNA fingerprinting conducted in Bangladesh. Since its independence in 1970, Bangladesh has accessed numerous new agricultural technologies, with CGIAR centers such as IRRI, CIMMYT, CIP, IFPRI, CIAT, ILRI, and IWMI focusing on rice production to ensure food security—a persistent challenge in this country. Economic growth has risen alongside rice yields (the major adoption crop) and wages, although there has been a notable shift from agricultural work to salaried employment, particularly from 2018 to 2024, with agricultural participation dropping from 58.9% to 54.5%. The most significant adoption results are seen in the aquaculture sector, particularly with the G3 rohu variety. In addition, the Axial Flow Pump (AFP) stands out as a key innovation under CGIAR's mechanization initiatives in Bangladesh. | |
