Overview

Bangladesh's horticulture sector has emerged as a crucial player in the country's agricultural landscape, contributing significantly to both the economy and nutritional sustenance. Characterized by diverse climatic regions, the nation boasts a range of horticultural crops that thrive across its varied landscapes. From the lush green hills to the fertile plains, Bangladeshi farmers cultivate an array of fruits and vegetables, including mangoes, bananas, pineapples, and potatoes.


Mangoes stand as the crown jewel of Bangladeshi horticulture, with the country being home to a wide assortment of indigenous and hybrid varieties. The fertile soil and tropical climate create an ideal environment for mango cultivation, making Bangladesh a major exporter of this delectable fruit. Additionally, the cultivation of various vegetables like tomatoes, eggplants, and pumpkins has gained prominence, contributing not only to the nation's food security but also offering income diversification for farmers. As Bangladesh continues to harness its diverse climatic advantages, the horticulture sector plays a pivotal role in ensuring sustainable agricultural practices while delighting both local and global consumers with its bountiful produce.
