Bangladesh Bank{u2019}s policy on agricultural/rural credit has promoted the access to credit for small and marginal farmers and participation of all scheduled banks has expanded credit access in agricultural sector. Their performance seemed satisfactory in terms of credit disbursement and recovery. Their outstanding credit and overdue credit was found in downtrend during the period which indicated the positive growth of their performances as a whole. In the last several years, the growth in the agricultural production, specifically crop, fisheries and livestock sectors was observed steady as well as upward sloping.
