ABSTRACT
This study sought to determine customer satisfaction in the pesticide industry in Bangladesh with
a focus on agro dealers in Kushtia, Jashore & Natore territory. It was guided by the following
research objectives: to determine the level of customer satisfaction in the pesticide of Auto Crop
Care Ltd (ACCL); and, to identify factors that contribute to customer satisfaction in the pesticide
products of ACCL, The study used the descriptive survey design. The target of study consisted
of all 50 registered agro dealers in Kushtia, Jashore & Natore areas. The respondents constituted
the owners/ or managers for these outlets that have knowledge about the business and have been
with them for at least a year to participate in the study. A questionnaire was the main data
collection instrument. (Japheth, 2009)
The study found that the factors that contributed to customer satisfaction included;
Communicating using national language of either English language when communicating with
the company staff; offering product packs that suit market demand; Customer being informed of
what to do to when they get the services; Company staff being knowledgeable and competent;
Company staff being flexible, good listeners and courteous. The study found that satisfaction is
enhanced when the company is responsive to customer’s needs and treats customers fairly.
The study found out that although companies in Bangladesh deliver products to dealers it is
recommended that the companies should practice promptness in delivery of goods to dealers.
Secondly, to promote factors that contribute to customer satisfaction the study recommends that
Agro Dealers should offer better credit facilities to dealers and introduce newer molecules to
avoid resistance to pesticides/diseases. Thirdly, the study found that there was a challenge of
counterfeit and it therefore recommended that companies change packaging to deal with the
challenge of counterfeit products which mislead customers and also provide easier means of
disposal of obsolete/expired products to promote use of pesticides in Bangladesh.
