In addition to that, vegetables play a significant role in the economy of Bangladesh. The present study aims to overview the production and marketing of vegetables. The study also attempts to highlight the value chains and channels of vegetable marketing and the problems related with the production and selling of vegetables. Conspicuously, the cultivation of vegetables in our country is growing day by day due to the higher profitability. Nearly 1.25 million hectares of cultivable land area are engaged for producing vegetable. This study makes an attempt to pronounce the existing vegetable supply chain system along with the problems and constraints faced by the farmers during producing and marketing of vegetables. The usual supply chain is that the middlemen collect vegetables from growers at cheaper price then sell it to the general consumers with markup. There is almost a complete absence of specialized facilities and equipment for handling vegetables in the market. The study reports some policies on the basis of the problems with a view to increasing the production and marketing opportunities of the farmers. In particular, vegetable marketing system is unorganized in Bangladesh which needs to be developed for the wellbeing of the farmers and common people.}, journal = {American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
