Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Study on the cost and return of jute seed production through survey method at farm level in selected 4 locations namely Jessore, Chapai-Nawabganj and Tangail, Manikganj to estimate the cost and return, and socio-economic constraints of jute seed production. The average total cost of all the location for tossa jute seed was amounted to Tk. 1,03,775 per hectare and for white jute seed was amounted to Tk. 1,23,876 per hectare. Average gross return and margin per hectare were Tk 1,09,508/ha and Tk. 5,734/ha for tossa jute seed, and Tk.1,23,876/ha and Tk. 25,711/ha for white jute seed on the basis of full cost basis. The average benefit cost ratio (BCR) for both Tossa and white jute seed on full cost basis was 1.06 and 1.26, and cash cost basis was 1.62 and 2.52 respectively.

Keywords: Cost and return,Jute seed production,Farm level

Location: Jessore, Chapai-Nawabganj and Tangail, Manikganj

Start Date: 00-00-2013

End Date: 00-00-2013

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

1.To estimate the cost and return for late jute seed crop production

2.To identify the socio-economic constraints of late jute seed crop production.

Methodology:

Structured questionnaire survey was conducted during 2013 jute seed growing season for collecting the associated data on production activity. The survey was made in four locations where white jute seed (Tangail & Manikganj) and tossa jute seed (Rajshahi & Jessore) are grown intensively. A total sample of 80 farmers (20 farmers from each location) was selected randomly. Tabular method was used for analyzing the data. Scientists of respective RS/RSS of BJRIconcerned personnel from DAE, BADC and Jute Directorate was included for data collection during the study. Return may be measured in terms of yield, gross return and net return. Gross return is the value of jute seed yield, fibre yield and by product. On the other hand, net return is the difference between gross return and cost of production (TC).

Achievement/Findings:

The average benefit cost ratio (BCR) both Tossa and white jute seed full cost basis (1.06) and (1.26), and cash cost basis (1.62) and (2.52).were positive, respectively. So, most of the farmer’s were impressed and satisfied with the agro-economic performance of Tossa, and Deshi jute seed production.
