Enhancing Quality Seed Supply Project

Development Partner

Islamic Development Bank

Implementation Organization

Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) and Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation (BADC)

Program Area

28 sub-districts (Upazilla) of Bangladesh

The Project aims at improving the capacity of BRRI, BARI, and BADC in order to increase the supply of quality seed to the farmers. The supply of quality seed will result in an additional increase of 1.4 million tons of food, thereby ensuring food security for the people. For the proper preservation of seed and thus attaining sustainable food security, BADC is establishing four Seed Potato Cold Storages with capacity of 2000 MT. ACI acquired the tender from the government for construction of the Cold Storages, including supply and installation and commissioning of all Electrical and Mechanical Machineries. The storages will be equipped with modern technology, ensuring the supply of quality seed to farmers.
