Responding to demand from expanding poultry feed markets, maize area in Bangladesh
rose from only a few thousand hectares in the 1980s to more than 200,000 hectares in 2007-08. This

for rice-maize systems, and future research and development needs. It also outlines the role of
CIMMYT, through its Bangladesh office, in the establishment and promotion of maize, as well as the
provision of germplasm and capacity building for researchers and farmers, in collaboration with the
Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE),
and diverse non-governmental organizations.
