Fertilizer Sector Programme

The programme's objectives were to support Bangladesh's agricultural development strategy, in particular to rapidly increase food production through quick-yielding measures such as increased fertilizer use. Households with small landholdings were targeted. A principal concern was to improve national availability of fertilizer, which was previously unavailable to poor farmers with small landholdings, the main beneficiaries of the programme.
