      abstract = {The study examines the changing trends, growth rates,  stability and regional variations of crop area, production  and yield. Over time, the average size of farms has become  smaller and smaller and the distribution of landholdings  has also become more and more skewed a result of which is  the increasing landless and near landless farms. But double  and triple cropped lands are increasing. Production trends  of major crops are also increasing. Production and  productivity of rice are increasing in each decade and  unstable growth rates were observed for production and  productivity of wheat and potatoes. Higher production but  very low productivity was observed for minor cereals,  pulses and oilseeds. Area irrigated by modern method was  increased higher rate, specially, from late eighties.  Intensity of cropping is comparatively higher in southeast  and northeast regions. Bogra, Jesore, Mymensingh, Comilla,  Chittagong and Chittagong Hill Tracts show better position  in agricultural development. Out of 20 former districts of  Bangladesh, Chittagong Hill Tracts was the top position and  khulna was on the second top position using indexing method  based on the eight agricultural development indicators.},
