Using firm level data from the Bangladesh food manufacturing sector, this paper examines the impact of economic reform on productive capacity realisation in the eighties. The results suggest that although improvement occurred in the realisation of productive capacities after the implementation of economic reforms, there is, however, room for significant further improvement in increasing output by realising the unrealised capacity.
