About ACI Agrolink
ACI Agrolink Ltd. is a leading integrator of agricultural inputs and outputs in Bangladesh, spanning seed, fertilizer, and an agri-marketplace platform under the broader ACI conglomerate. Dr. F. H. Ansarey serves as Managing Director and CEO, having built the subsidiary as one of several agribusiness ventures he launched over three decades inside ACI Limited.
His career in the sector began years before ACI Agrolink existed as a company, shaped by early scientific training rather than a conventional business education.
A Scientist Before a Businessman
Dr. F. H. Ansarey completed a BSc Honors in Zoology before earning both a Master's degree and a PhD in Ecology, an academic foundation more common among researchers than agribusiness executives. That scientific grounding shaped how he later approached agriculture, treating it as a system to be studied and optimized rather than simply a commodity trade.
He began his professional career in 1981 at Ciba Geigy, a multinational agribusiness company, gaining early exposure to how large international firms structured agricultural input businesses before Bangladesh had many domestic equivalents. That multinational grounding gave him a template for professionalized agribusiness management that he later applied while building out ACI's own portfolio of ventures.
Joining ACI and Building From the Ground Up
Dr. F. H. Ansarey joined ACI Limited in 1995 as Head of the Crop Protection Business, and was promoted to Executive Director of Agribusinesses in July 1998. Over the following decades, he became the driving force behind a series of new ACI ventures, including ACI Formulations Ltd., ACI Motors Ltd., Premiaflex Plastics Ltd., ACI Agrolink Limited, ACI Animal Health, ACI Fertilizer, and ACI Seed.
That pattern, launching one new agribusiness line after another under the ACI umbrella, made him one of the more prolific business builders in Bangladesh's agricultural sector, with ACI Agrolink standing as one of the more consumer-facing results of that work.
Creating Wealth for Farmers
In 2007, Dr. F. H. Ansarey conceptualized what became ACI Agribusiness's guiding mission: "Creating Wealth for Farmers." That framing positioned ACI's various agribusiness units, including Agrolink, not simply as input suppliers or output buyers, but as partners whose growth was tied directly to farmer income, a mission statement that has anchored the group's strategy for nearly two decades.
That mission gave ACI Agrolink a distinct identity within the wider ACI conglomerate, oriented specifically around integrating farmers into a connected supply chain rather than operating as a purely transactional agri-input distributor.
Running Multiple ACI Subsidiaries at Once
Dr. F. H. Ansarey now serves as Managing Director of four ACI subsidiaries beyond Agrolink: ACI Motors Limited, ACI Premiaflex Plastics Limited, and ACI Marine and Riverine Technologies Ltd., overseeing a portfolio that spans far beyond traditional crop inputs. Running several distinct businesses simultaneously gave him a broader view of how agribusiness, manufacturing, and industrial operations intersect within a large Bangladeshi conglomerate.
That multi-subsidiary role means ACI Agrolink operates as one part of a considerably larger leadership portfolio, rather than being Dr. F. H. Ansarey's sole operating responsibility, a structure common among executives at large, diversified Bangladeshi conglomerates like ACI.
A Voice Beyond ACI
Dr. F. H. Ansarey serves as a board member of the Canada Chamber of Commerce and Industry, sits on the Executive Committee of the Water 2030 Resource Group, and is a Director of the Krishi Gobeshona Foundation, which supports agricultural research in Bangladesh. He is also a Syndicate Member, part of the governing body, of Bangladesh Agricultural University.
Those roles extend his influence beyond ACI's own commercial operations into the broader research and policy infrastructure shaping Bangladeshi agriculture, reflecting more than three decades spent building agribusiness institutions rather than a single company.

Fertilizer extends the business into crop nutrition inputs, another pillar of ACI's broader agribusiness portfolio.
Agri-Marketplace Platform connects farmers with buyers and inputs, reflecting the company's "Creating Wealth for Farmers" mission established in 2007.
