Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was conducted in the three major rice growing areas, namely Rangpur, Comilla and Mymensingh representing three agro-ecological zones of Bangladesh. The main objective of the study was to find out the technical, allocative and economic efficiencies of Binadhan-7 production. To evaluate the objectives, the Stochastic Frontier Production Function analysis was used. It was found that cultivation of Binadhan-7 was profitable. The average yield of Binadhan-7 was 4.07 t/ha in all the sampled areas.

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Non-commodity: Efficiency

Objectives:

To find out the technial, allocative and economic efficiencies of Binadhan-7 production.

Methodology:

The analysis was performed based on a set of field level primary data collected from 300 farmers from three respective areas. Tabular, statistical and project appraisal techniques were used for analyzing the collected data. In this study, costs and return analyses were done on both cash cost and full cost basis, and students t-test was applied to test the observed difference between means. The Stochastic Frontier Production Function analysis was used to determine the technical, allocative and economic efficiencies of Binadhan-7 production.

Achievement/Findings:

From the study it could be concluded that Binadhan-7 cultivation is popular to the farmer on its short duration character. In all areas for all rice varieties, the farmers of Rangpur were technically efficient (87%) followed by Comilla (84%) and Mymensingh (82%). Large farmers were technically more efficient (87%) than small (82%) and medium (80%) farmers for Binadhan-7 cultivation. The sampled farmers started Binadhan-7 cultivation during the last two years as well as the areas under its cultivation was increasing in the study areas.
