The cultivation of vegetables in our country is increasing day by day. Now vegetables cover 2.63 percent area of our cultivable land. Vegetable gives much more benefit to the farmers than the other crops and Per Capita consumption of vegetable 56 (g/day). 35 percent of the vegetable is wasted in the country. 150 types of vegetables are being cultivated in Bangladesh and exporting more than 48 types of vegetables.

For vegetables bacterial Wilt, fusarium wilt, Virus are the main setback for vegetable. Adverse weather is also another problem. We should go for solution.
Day by day the consumption of foods are increasing and for reaching that goal High Yielding Varieties (HYV) seeds, parallel support in the provision of modern inputs, such as chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation equipment, product procurement, storage and marketing facilities are using.
