Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Appropriate agricultural practices have positive and sustainable impacts on rural farmers’ livelihood possessions and strategies to overcome the climate vulnerabilities. The benefit cost ratio (BCR) is a relative measure which is used to determine benefit per unit cost and helps farmers in decision making activities. A study was carried out in the Sirajganj district during 2017, to compare the cost and revenue of Aus, Aman and Boro rice, using benefit cost ratio technique. The Sirajganj district consists of nine upzilas. Ten farmers of each upzila were randomly selected and primary data were personally collected from the respondents through structural questionnaire. The data about Aus, Aman and Boro rice and their cost as well as returns were collected in farmers’ field. The collected data were then sorted, scrutinized and analyzed to achieve the goal set for the study. Results revealed that the total cost of production in Aus rice varied 40856-71353 Tk./ha, gross returns 90651-123889 Tk./ha, cost of per kilogram rice production was 9.87 –15.45 Tk./kg and BCR 1.61-2.22. The total cost of Aman (Local) rice varied 43031-69067 Tk./ha, gross returns 57651-86889 Tk./ha, cost of per kilogram rice production was 14.98 -21.40 Tk./kg and BCR 1.25-1.65. The total cost of Aman (HYV) rice varied 66111-78724 Tk./ha, gross returns 123321-164439 Tk./ha, cost of per kilogram rice production was 9.87-14.45 Tk./kg and BCR 1.70-2.22. The total cost of Boro (HYV) rice varied 89129-96886 Tk./ha, gross returns 164439-208956 Tk./ha, cost of per kilogram rice production was 9.31-13.84 Tk./kg and BCR 1.90-2.31. The total cost of Boro (Hybrid) rice varied 92868-99684 Tk./ha, gross returns 205524-226083 Tk./ha, cost of per kilogram rice production 8.99-10.74 Tk./kg and BCR 2.10-2.36. Aus/Aman rice cultivation is eco-friendly i.e., needs less ground water, lower risk of early floods and hailstorms, etc.

Objectives:

The present study has been undertaken to compare the cost and revenue of different rice (Aus, Aman and Boro) crops, using benefit cost ratio technique.

Methodology:

The study was carried out in the Sirajganj district during 2017. The Sirajganj district consists of nine upzilas. Ten farmers of each upzilas were randomly selected and primary data was personally collected from the respondents through structural questionnaire. The data about different rice (Aus, Aman and Boro) crops and their cost and returns were collected in farmers’ field or home. The collected data were then sorted, scrutinized and analyzed to achieve the goal set for the study. The average percentage, total cost, total return etc. were statistically measured to determine the economic performance of rice (Aus, Aman and Boro) production. Farmer perches their inputs from the local market -the price of rice seed @ 25 Tk./kg, Urea fertilizer @ 16 Tk/kg, TSP @ 22 Tk/kg, MoP @ 15 Tk/kg and paddy sale @ 28 Tk/kg , straw @ 5 Tk/kg in local market. Cobb-Douglas production function model was followed to determine the estimate the contribution of factors to rice cultivation. All analyses data were presented in tabular form. The benefit cost ratio (BCR) is a relative measure which is used to determine benefit per unit cost. Benefit cost ratio is the proportion of net return (benefit) and total cost of production (Dillon and Hardaker, 1993). Production Cost= (Total Cost of cultivation–Price of by product)/Total Paddy Production (Tk./kg). Benefit cost ratio = Net return (benefit)/Total cost

Achievement/Findings:

Above results and discussion it may be concluded that per kg rice production cost was high in Aman (Local) rice production and followed by Aus (HYV and Local), Aman (HYV), Boro (HYV) and Boro (Hybrid). However, Boro (Hybrid) rice gave high benefit cost ratio (BCR) followed by Aman (HYV), Aus (Local), Boro (HYV), Aus (HYV) and Aman (Local ) rice.
