Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Three mathematical models have been developed for consumers’ and producers’ and producer-cum-consumer preference to rice varieties by using four locations/districts farmers’ data of Bangladesh in terms of rice deficit” and rice surplus area. These three models uses to determine factors affecting producers’ decision on varieties for rice cultivation and can provide an indication of the factors affecting consumers’ preference to rice varieties. BR11, BR22 and BRRI dhan32, BR16, BRRI dhan28 and BRRI dhan29, BR9, BR16 and BR20 were found to be more preferable and cultivable varieties due to higher yield in T. Aman, Boro and Aus season respectively among the producers and producer cum consumers. Pure consumers were found to prefer rice varieties on the basis of tastiness, fine rice and availability of the varieties. Although, BRRI variety contributes about 90% of total production but it does not reflect in field label because of BRRI variety sale in different brand name, namely BRRI dhan28 sale as Nizersail and BRRI dhan29 as Jhingasail and Miniket etc.

Keywords: Producer, Consumer, Rice, Model

Location: Panchagarh, Lalmonirhat, Kurigram and Thakurgaon

Start Date: 01-07-2013

End Date: 30-06-2014

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Commodity: Rice

Objectives:

To determine factors affecting producers’ decision on the variety cultivation
To determine factors affecting consumers’ preference to rice varieties
To develop mathematical model for producers’, consumers’ and producer cum consumers preference to rice varieties

Methodology:

For this study four locations/districts i.e. Panchagarh, Lalmonirhat, Kurigram and Thakurgaon were selected. Panchagarh and Lalmonirhat were selected as "Rice deficit” area. Kurigram and Thakurgaon were selected as “Rice surplus” area. Fifty farmers were selected from producer, consumer and producer cum consumer from each location and the selected farmers were categorized into three groups such as

Farmer as a producer
Farmer as a consumer
Pure consumer (Consume rice from market)

The pure consumers were selected from the urban areas of Panchagarh, Lalmonirhat, Kurigram and Thakurgaon districts. Information was collected on the choice of varieties for production and consumption using a pre-designed questionnaire. Data will analyze using developed consumer preference, producer preference and producer cum consumer preference model.

Achievement/Findings:

BR11, BR22 and BRRI dhan32, BR16 for T.Aman, BRRI dhan28 BRRI dhan29 for Boro and BR9, BR16 and BR20 for Aus were found to be more preferable and cultivable varieties due to higher yield among the producers and producer cum consumers. Pure consumers were found to prefer rice varieties on the basis of tastiness, fine rice and availability of the varieties.
Although, BRRI variety contributes about 90% of total production but it does not reflect in field label because of BRRI variety sale in different brand name, namely BRRI dhan28 sale as Nizersail and BRRI dhan29 as Jhingasail and Miniket etc.
Three mathematical models have been developed for consumer and producer preference to rice varieties in four locations/districts in terms of rice deficit” and rice surplus area. These three models uses to determine factors affecting producers’ decision on varieties for rice cultivation and can provide an indication of the factors affecting consumers’ preference to rice varieties.
