      abstract = {To estimate the growth rates of wheat in Bangladesh in  terms of area, production, and yield, and to determine the  factors responsible for changing production and yield time  series data were used for the period of 1975-76 to 1998-99.  The growth rates were estimated by using exponential  production function and the determinants of yield levels  were examined using Cobb-Douglas production function.  During the period 1976-85, the growth rates of area,  production and yield were relatively higher. After 1985,  the growth rates were poor and stagnant. Then again after  1995, an increasing growth rate trend was found both in  greater Dinajpur and Rangpur districts and in Bangladesh.  However, the average growth rates of area, production and  yield were 5.82, 6.02 and 0.55 percent respectively in  Bangladesh. During the whole study period, wheat production  increased by 787% (1.69 MT), contributed by area (58%) and  yield (36%). Wheat yields were affected by several natural,  physical and economic factors. Irrigated area coverage,  price of the previous year and area coverage by modern  varieties had positive influence on yield increase in  Dinajpur. But in Rangpur, only price of the previous year  had positive and significant effect on yield. So for  continuing the increasing growth rate policy should be  taken to keep higher price of wheat, expansion of more area  under new high yielding varieties and irrigation.},
