Agricultural research investment and human resource capacity in Bangladesh have grown considerably in recent years, largely as a result of increased government and World Bank funding.
Despite this growth, Bangladesh still only invested 0.38 percent of its AgGDP in agricultural research in 2016—well below the level needed to address multiple challenges, including rapid population growth and severe climate change impacts.

The total number of agricultural researchers in Bangladesh increased considerably in recent years, largely due to a major influx of PhD-qualified scientists at BARI and the agricultural universities.
Agricultural research spending has followed a somewhat erratic trend over time, but the launch of NATP (2009–2014) spurred a marked increase in overall investment levels.
