Profitability of Boro, Aus and T.aman Rice Cultivation

Dr. BAAMustafi

Agricultural Economics Division Bangladesh Rice Research Insitute

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A technology is adopted by farmers only if it is economically viable.Through cost and return analysis, planners and policy makers can adopt alternative policy measures to reduce production cost and thereby, encourage farmers to expand production.The study was undertaken to compare and contrast zone-wise costs of production and profitability of Boro, Aus and T.Aman rice cultivation. The study revealed that the cost of production for Boro rice cultivation in all the seven zones was higher than that of Aus and T.Aman rice cultivation due to higher amount of human labour and irrigation water fertilizer required for Boro rice cultivation. Boro rice cultivators earned higher gross return compared to Aus and T.Aman due to increased yield of crop. However, benefit-cost ratio was fabourable for T.Aman due to its higher price and lower production cost..

Keywords: Production cost, Pprofitability, Rice

Location: Seven Agriecological Zones of Bangladesh

Start Date: 01-07-1996

End Date: 30-06-1997

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Non-commodity: Profitability

Objectives:

The study was undertaken to-

compare and contrast zonewise costs of production of Boro, Aus and T.Aman rice varieties; and
find out the profitability of Boro, Aus and T.Aman rice cultivation

Methodology:

The study is based on the data collected for MV adoption study from seven different agro ecological zones of Bangladesh. Necessary data were collected from the farmers through the direct interview method using a pre-designed questionnaire. Collected data were edited and analyzed using simple statistical tools presented in tabular form. The study is conducted in seven different agro ecological zones of Bangladesh.

Achievement/Findings:

Production cost of Boro rice was higher due to higher input costs. Boro rice cultivators earned higher gross return compared to Aus and T.Aman due to increased yield of crop. However, benefit-cost ratio was faborable for T.Aman due to its higher price and lower production cost.
