Ministry of Agriculture

Budget figure of Tk 27,224 crore (agriculture sector only, MoA) converted to BDT: 272,240,000,000 (1 crore = 10,000,000). The combined agriculture+food+fisheries+livestock block in FY 2025-26 is Tk 39,620 crore (BDT 396.2 bn). MoA is distinct from the Ministry of Food (DGFood), Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock, though Minister Amin Ur Rashid holds all three in a combined portfolio. The current acting Agriculture Secretary is Nasir-Ud-Doula (routine duties) following the March 2026 compulsory retirement of Dr Mohammad Emdad Ullah Mian; a permanent appointment had not been confirmed as of verification date.
