"The government has allowed the cultivation of two varieties of BT cotton in the country after passing the examination. Agriculture Minister Mr. Abdur Razzak hopes that when the cultivation of these cotton varieties begins, the country’s cotton production can be increased from the current two lakh bales to 15 lakh bales.
In 1996, BT cotton was first cultivated in the world, and neighboring India began cultivating BT cotton in 2002. In Bangladesh, following the guidelines of Biosafety, all senior correspondents have opened BT cotton for cultivation.
