Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) invented 113 rice verities since independence while 63 of these high-yielding verities were introduced in the past 14 years, which are currently contributing 91 per cent output of the staple food, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe verities we have introduced in the past 14 years are stress-tolerant and environment-friendly and these are major contributors to the country\u2019s total rice production,\u201d Director General of Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) Dr Mohammad Shahjahan Kabir said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He attributed the development to the government\u2019s \u201cagriculture-friendly\u201d policy and particularly enhanced budgetary allocation for research \u201cas a result which rice production has been steadily increasing annually by around 6.6 lakh tonnes from 2010\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a matter of fact, until 2009, BRRI had to carry on its research works with the residual money allocated for different non-rice crop projects or amounts provided by international organizations like IRRI or IFERI under joint projects,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government started providing money to BRRI for rice research, which enabled the country to bring under rice cultivation nearly 80 per cent of the country\u2019s arable land including landmass exposed to salt, drought and submerged in different climatic conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to BRRI officials of the 63 verities, 24 are tolerant to salt, three each to draughts and floods, two to tidal surges, and several are simultaneously tolerant to different such conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They said several of the verities contained \u201cbasmati\u201d type \u201cpremium qualities\u201d, zinc to fight malnutrition, diarrhoea and pneumonia; or induced with elements favourable for diabetic patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before 2009-2010, Bangladesh used to produce less than three tonnes of rice on average rice production in per hectare. It has now reached nearly four tonnes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis also disproved an assumption that the rice production in Bangladesh has reached to its optimum level,\u201d the BRRI chief said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRRI\u2019s Plant Breeding Division head Dr Khondoker Mohammad Iftekharuddoula supplemented Kabir saying \u201cthe yield-ceiling concept (of rice) has been proved obsolete\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe already have released BRRI Dhan-93 as the topmost high yielding variety with over 4 tonnes per unit production . . . we await the coming boro season to introduce two short life-cycle HYVs which we named BRRI Dhan-96 and 88,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iftekharuddoula, who is also BRRI\u2019s chief scientific officer or CSO, said Bangladesh\u2019s rice production exceeded 4 crore tonnes in 2021-22, which took the country to the topmost position in terms of rice yield in South Asia and third in ranking across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agriculture ministry and the agriculture extension department (DAE) officials, meanwhile, say that keeping pace with the enhanced rice yields thanks to the introduction of the new HYVs, the country\u2019s rice storage facilities have been expanded as well as part of the total food security campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe silos can now stock nearly 30 lakh tonnes of crop or grain, whereas the country\u2019s grain storage capacity was as high as 12 lakh tonne in 2009,\u201d a food ministry spokesman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The record suggests Bangladesh became self-sufficient in rice production in 1999, but the yield could not kept in subsequent years due to policy issues and natural disasters while the country again became self-sufficient in food in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
