Effectiveness of Demonstration Plots Organized in Bangladesh: Farmers’ Experiences

Abstract: 

This article is based on findings of a Report Card Survey conducted by Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB). Limited number of farmers participated in different demonstration plots organized by the Chandpur Sadar Upazilla Krishi Office. These plots were found to be organized mainly by farmers having prior experiences to do so. These farmers had much better income and land holding status than their counterpart who did not organize demonstration plots. During demonstration plots, farmers received quality input and effective advice services from the office staff. Their motivation level towards the demonstration plot technology and willingness to practice the same in future was quite high.
