    Impact of Farm Size and Tenurial Status of Land of Resource Productivity in Mymensingh District of Bangladesh
    (Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural Univesity, Hisar, 1986) Bhuiyan, Shahidur Rahman; Nandal, D. S.
    Bangladesh is predominantly an agricultural economy characterized by small scale, fragmented fanning, employing primitive technology. Land-man ratio is one of the most unfavorable for Bangladesh in the Developing world as is reflected in a very small average size of holdings. The national per Capita holding for Bangladesh is 0.40 acres {Bangladesh, 1981). Almost all farms are fragmented although the degree of fragmentation measured by the size of each fragment appears to be smaller on larger farms (Rahman et al, 1969v p. 2; Jabbar, 1977, p. 19. Handal, 1980a, p. 23). Al though the average size of holding per farm is small (slightly greater than 3 acres) yet its distribution is highly skewed. Slightly less than 10 per cent of all rural households own almost 51 per cent of all cultivated lands, slightly more ·than 22 per cent of all rural households slim. nearly 75 per cent of Cultivated lands (Bangladesh, 1901 ). Such a concentration of ownership with the available evidence of a continuous in case over years is indicative of a process of serious differentiation and polarization in rural areas brewing social unrest.
