Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was undertaken to determine the effect of price support policy on rice production in Bangladesh and to find out the availability and requirement of rice. Data on production, procurement price (pp), retail price (RP), farm harvest price (FHP), issue price (IP) and district wise production and population were obtained from secondary sources namely BBS (1998), Hamid (1991), Data base on Food Situation of Bangladesh (1995) and Bangladesh Economic Survey (2000). Region wise cost of production data for T. Aman and Boro seasons for the years 1997, 1998, 1999 have been collected. Tabular and descriptive statistics have been used for the presentation of findings.The procurement activity of the government should be concentrated at Rajshahi region (Rangpur, Dinajpur, Bogra and Rajshahi). The government support price should be fixed on the basis of the cost of production in Rajshahi region, which would be as close as to the market price.
