Being mandated as the only institute to conduct forest management
and forest products utilization research, BFRI is rich enough to
cater to the current information needs of the nation with the
database it has created and the technologies generated. Although

of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, BFRI is a component of the
National Agricultural Research System (NARS) and has strong
collaboration with international forestry research organizations and
networks.

facilities in the country. Twenty-seven volumes of an
internationally abstracted forestry research journal have so far
been published from BFRI. The institute has published over 500
research papers, 160 bulletins and 20 folders / leaflets. It has so
far imparted training to over 6,000 individuals (foresters/extension
workers, NGOs, researchers, farmers/end-users, etc.) in using the
technologies generated.
