      abstract = {Bangladesh has been suffering from a chronic foodgrain  shortage. Consequently she has been importing 1.4 to 2.7  million tons of foodgrain annually, 90 per cent of which is  wheat. The cost of foodgrain import consumes about 25 to 35  per cent of available foreign assistance. To make the  country self-sufficient in foodgrain production the  Bangladesh Government put emphasis on the introduction of  high yielding varieties (HYV) of rice. But the record of  success of HYV rice has been limited due to technical and  socio-economic constraints. Since the inputs and water  requirements of HYV wheat are lower than that of HYV rice,  this paper made efforts to explore the potential of wheat  production keeping in view, however, of the limitations in  the long term. It also suggested to direct research  activities to develop drought resistant food crops.},
