Bangladesh is mainly an agricultural country. Agriculture has pivotal role in the economy of Bangladesh. For food safety, value addition, export earnings and employment agriculture plays a vital role. The weather and soils are suitable for a variety of vegetable cultivation. More than 100 vegetables are cultivated in this country. Different types of vegetables are produced in rural areas of Bangladesh in small homesteads and large agricultural land. Vegetables are cultivated both for the own consumption and commercial purposes. Commercial vegetable trading has an integrated supply chain management system. Supply Chain Management System depends on some intermediaries and their activities to supply the vegetables from producers to consumers. The major problem is consumer pays three to four times more than the producers’ margin. The main objectives of this research are to evaluate the existing vegetable supply chain management system and to identify different stakeholders and their activities, and also to demonstrate various cost and price movement towards different stages of the supply chain management system. The study was survey type. Data were collected by using questionnaire. Based on the questionnaire different data were collected from farmers, different market actors, and consumer and finally problems regarding vegetable supply chain management system are identified. In the existing situation, producers have no control over the vegetable supply chain management system. In case of product pricing, producers are strongly influenced by market syndicates. In order to make the problems of the existing supply chain management system more understandable different analysis is conducted in this research. Finally a new network is proposed to the vegetable supply chain.
