6. Types of non farming activities Dairy Small scale manufacturing Shopkeepers transport

7. T ypes of non farming activities Dairy Dairy Farming is generally a type of subsistence farming system in Bangladesh, especially in rural areas. the major producer of milk in the rural country. More than 40% of rural farming households are engaged in milk production because it is a livestock enterprise in which they can engage with relative ease to improve their livelihoods.

8. T ypes of non farming activities Small Scale Manufacturing In villages manufacturing takes place in a very small scale with simple production methods. People are engaged in the production at their own home or in fields. Laborers are rarely hired. Sugarcane is the most common small scale manufacturing business in village. Some of the people have machines to crush the sugarcanes.

9. T ypes of non farming activities shopkeeper Shopkeepers play a big role in villages. All day-to-day ,non-agricultural products , are provided in villages in shops. Products from towns and cities like soaps, toothpaste, etc. that are needed on daily basis are available at local shops.

10. T ypes of non farming activities Transport Communicating from village to town for purchasing and selling goods have improved in rural areas. Jeep, tractors, bullock carts and bogey's are the transport facilities. They ferry people and goods from village to town and in return get paid for it. The number of people involved in transport have grown in rural areas.

11. Non-farming activities in Bangladesh Bangladesh is an extremely scarce country and there is no scope for increasing total cultivable area. Nearly half of the rural households in Bangladesh are “functionally landless” owning less than 0.2 ha of land that cannot be a significant source of income. Nonfarm activities are found to be most important for the poor, who are pushed out of agriculture due to limited and poor land resources.

12. Non-farming activities in Bangladesh In 2000, one third of the rural employment was generated in business enterprises and service sector activities. The proportion of workers engaged in these activities increased by nearly 60 percent over the 1987-2000 period. In the average annual income of Tk 91,739, 22.77 percent comes from agriculture sector and 77.23 from the non-agriculture sector, according to the Rural Credit Survey 2014 in Bangladesh.

13. Non-farming activities in Bangladesh Non-institutional agri -loans, which account for 11 percent of the total credit, are distributed by local moneylenders and friends and so on. The survey also revealed that the majority of the rural borrowers were women (58.5 percent). The annual average expenditure of the households covered by the survey was Tk 1.07 lakh, 46 percent of which was spent on food and 5 percent on repayment of outstanding debts.

14. Conclusion The rural non-farming sector is already of great importance to rural economies for its productive and employment effects: it offers services and products upstream and downstream from agriculture in the off-farm components of the food and fiber system, which are critical to the dynamism of agriculture; while the income it provides farm households represents a substantial and growing share of rural incomes, including those of the rural poor.
