This study was conducted to compare the profitability of salt tolerant Binadhan-8 and BR-28 production in coastal Satkhira district of Bangladesh. Thirty salt tolerant Binadhan–8 producing farmers were purposively selected since the introduction of this paddy is new in that area. Another 30 BR-28 producing farmers were selected randomly from the farmers’ list obtained from the Upazila Agriculture Office. Data were collected using pre-tested structured questionnaires. Cost and return analysis as well as functional analysis were performed in this study. The results of the study revealed that per hectare total cost for Binadhan-8 was higher than BR-28 rice. Taking the production into account the total return of Binadhan-8 per hectare was higher than the total return of BR-28 rice per hectare. The sample farmer appeared to have used seeds, Urea, TSP, MP, etc. at less than the required level. Regression analysis suggests that the Binadhan-8 rice growers should limit the use of power tiller and insecticide. Contribution of these inputs to the two varieties was found to be positive but at decreasing rate for BR-28 and at increasing rate for Binadhan-8.

i. To determine the profitability of Binadhan-8 and BR-28

ii. To assess the factors affecting production of Binadhan-8 and BR-28

iii. To suggest policy guidelines/recommendations.

The study was undertaken in Satkhira sadar Upazila of Satkhira district, the southwest part of the country. Sampling technique was used to select representative farmers to minimize time and cost of the study. For the study, at first a list of the farmers who produced either Binadhan-8 or BR-28 was collected from Upazila Agriculture Office. From that list, 30 Binadhan-8 producing farmers were selected purposively and 30 BR-28 producing farmers were selected randomly. In addition, some relevant information was also collected from a group of well-to-do farmers with economic solvency. Boro season generally begins in January- February and ends in mid April and May. To satisfy the objectives of the study, data on the profitability of Binadhan-8 and BR-28 were collected during the Boro season of 2011 using survey method. Both primary and secondary were used in this study. Conventional statistical tools like average, percentages, ratio etc. were applied to arrive at meaningful findings in this study. Cost and return analysis was done using the following profit equation.

Π = Σ PmQm - Σ (Pxi Xi) - TFC

Where,

Π = Net return (Tk/ha);

Pm = Per unit price of produce (Tk/kg);

Qm = Quantity of the production per hectare (kg);

Pxi = Per unit price of ith inputs (Tk);

Xi = Quantity of the ith inputs per hectare (kg);

TFC = Total fixed cost (Tk); and

i = 1,2,3,...............,n ( number of inputs).

Undiscounted benefit cost ratio (BCR) was used to compare the profitability of Binadhan-8 and BR-28 rice. Cobb-Douglas production function was used to estimate the effects of various inputs for the production of Binadhan – 8 and BR – 28 because of the best fit of the sample data. The functional form of the Cob-Douglas multiple regression equation was as follows:

Yi = aX1b1 X2b2 X3b3 X4b4 X5b5 X6b6 eu

The equation may be alternatively expressed as log-linear form:

Where, Yi = Gross return (Tk/ha); ln a = Intercept or constant term; X1 = Human labour cost (Tk/ha); X2 = Animal labour/power tiller cost (Tk/ha); X3 = Seed/seedling cost (Tk/ha); X4 = Cost of fertilizer (Tk/ha); X6 = Insecticide cost (Tk/ha); b1, b2,-----------,b6 = Coefficients of the respective variables; Ui = Error term; ln = Natural logarithm; e = Base of natural logarithm; and i = 1, 2, 3,…,30.

The economy of Bangladesh mainly depends on agriculture. Agriculture plays a vital role in the growth and stability of the country’s economy. Rice is the main item of food for the people of this country. On the basis of seasonal classification, three types of rice are grown in Bangladesh namely- Aus, Aman and Boro rice comprised the largest portion of the total rice production of the country. Economic development largely depends on the agricultural development which is possible only through distribution and utilization of modern technology, such as, hybrid seeds, power tiller, tractor, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation etc. A comprehensive study incorporating impact of technological change on farmer’s income and poverty alleviation was important. Some studies have so far focused on the comparative performance of Binadhan-8 and BR-28 rice. The results of the present study showed that cultivation of both salt tolerant Binadhan–8 and BR–28 were highly profitable from the viewpoint of individual farmers. Cultivation of Binadhan–8 was more profitable compared to BR–8. The study identified some problems in Biandhan-8 and BR-28 rice production. Some major problems faced by the farmers were: problems of seed purity, seed collection, low germination rate, grain unfilling, high grain falling, problem of high price of seed, lack of knowledge of new salt tolerant rice varieties, lack of marking facilities etc. The problems were found to be more acute for the production of BR28 rice compared to Binadhan-8 rice. Though, both the varieties were found profitable, Binadhan-8 rice was found more profitable than BR-28 rice variety with respect to yield, net revenue and gross revenue. Since the introduction of salt tolerant Binadhan–8 has shown greater profit compared to BR–28 rice, it should be justified to bring more and more areas under this new rice variety cultivation, which in turn will help to achieve self-sufficiency in food grains and thus to promote the better living standard of the coastal people of Bangladesh than ever before.
