Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Input use and output obtain vary from season to season and region to reason. The study was conducted to determine the production cost and profitability of MV Aus, Aman and Boro rice production In total, 20 study locations from nine agricultural regions were selected for intensive survey in Boro, Aus and T. Aman seasons . Data on cultivation were collected using pre-designed questionnaire. The study used 700 sample farms individually both in Boro and Aman seasons while, for the Aus season, the sample size was 600 only. Tabular method was used to analyze the data. Costs of production for Boro rice was higher than Aus and T. Aman due to higher amount of input used in Boro. Although gross return was the highest in Boro rice cultivation but benefit cost ratio BCR was the highest for T. Aman farmers due to higher costs involvement in Boro production. On the other hand, more quantity of rice is being marketed now –a-days which is 50% of the production.

Achievement/Findings:

Costs of production for Boro rice was higher than Aus and T. Aman due to higher amount of input used in Boro. Although gross return was the highest in Boro rice cultivation but benefit cost ratio (BCR) was the highest for T. Aman farmers due to higher costs involvement in Boro production. On the other hand. more quantity of rice is being marketed now –a-days which is 50% of the production.
