Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The average farm size and cultivated land found in the outreach area were 1.48 ha and 1.27 ha whereas in the BRRI project area they were 1.56 ha and 1.32 ha respectively. Farmers management practices and fertilizer application were better and accurate in the BRRI project area compared with outreach area. Most of all varieties of MV and LV gave higher yield in the project area. The average yield of MV found in the project area were 4481 Kg/ha but in the outreach area it was 3959 Kg/ha. The average gross returns and total cost of MV in the project area was Tk.23929/ha and Tk.14869/ha but in the outreach area it was Tk.21299/ha and Tk.15039/ha respectively. Thus the net returns obtained was higher (Tk.9060/ha) in the project area than that of the outreach area (Tk.6260/ha) for MV on full cost basis. High cost of inputs, irrigation problem and insect/diseases were the main constraints in both the outreach and the project area. Therefore reduction of input price, proper and timely management practices and expansion of MV adoption could expedite the Boro productivity which in turn accelerate economic development

Keywords: Profitability, Productivity, Irrigated rice,

Location: Narshingdi, Comilla, Chandpur, Mymensingh and Kishoregonj

Start Date: 00-02-1986

End Date: 00-06-1986

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Commodity: Rice

Objectives:

- To examine the socio-economic conditions of the irrigated Boro growing farmers

- To assess the Boro adoption status and

- To determine the cost and returns from Boro

Methodology:

One hundred and sixty samples, 80 from outreach area (Narshingdi, Comilla, Chandpur, Mymensingh and Kishoregonj) and 80 from BRRI project area (Sreepur, Kapasia, Gazipur, Tongi and Savar Thanas) were randomly selected to know the socio-economic conditions of the farmers, examine the Boro adoption status and to determine the cost and returns of Boro rice cultivation. Data were collected in the month of June, 1986, providing survey schedules. Tabular method and accounts analysis technique were followed in analysing data.
