BADC seed wing
Bangladesh Agricultural development Corporation is the only government organisation which is producing quality seeds to meet the demand of seeds of the farmers. Other than BADC, a good number of NGOs & seed producing companies are engaged in importing seeds from abroad or producing the same in the country but their quality is questionable as their target is to do business, rather than ensure quality. To the farmers, quality seeds mean BADC seeds. The present government is very much eager to promote the BADC activities. A few years back the officers & employees of BADC were in frustration thinking that the organisation would be abolished. Being afraid of their future, a good number of staff members left the organisation on golden handshake.
During the tenure of the present government nearly 100 agriculturists & 200 diploma agriculturists have been recruited at the BADC.
I appreciate the government move.
