Overview

The Bangladesh Rice Knowledge Bank (BRKB) Publications Portal is an online resource maintained by the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI), providing free access to research publications, extension materials, technical guidelines, and other outputs generated by BRRI scientists and collaborators. The portal supports researchers, extension workers, agricultural planners, and farmers seeking evidence-based information on rice production technologies, variety management, and agronomic practices.

The publications portal hosts scientific research articles, technical bulletins, extension leaflets, variety catalogs, annual reports, and training manuals. BRRI has published over 329 books, booklets, folders, and extension materials since its founding in 1970, and these outputs are progressively made available digitally through the portal. Key topics include rice variety development, crop-soil-water management, pest management, farm mechanization, and socio-economic analysis of the rice sector.

All publications on the BRKB portal are freely accessible online. The platform also hosts the BRRI Rice Doctor mobile application and related digital tools for farmers and extension agents. The portal is complementary to the broader BRRI website and is used by students, researchers, and development workers internationally.
