Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Assessment of profitability, value addition and constraints to munbean production in two southern coastal districts- Barisal and Patuakhali was made through an extensive field survey during 2018-2019. The study revealed that few farmers of these areas used chemical as well as organic fertilizers. Total cost incurred for mungbean production was Tk.51850/ha of which 50% is variable cost and remaining 50 % was fixed cost. Average gross return was Tk. 54143/ha. Benefit cost ration on variable cost basis was 2.09 but on total cost basis it was 1.04. Considering variable cost per kg production cost was Tk. 24.62/kg but on total cost basis it was estimated at Tk. 49.05/kg. Producer share was 66 % for husked mungbean and for fried packed mungbean it was 19.8 % only. Disease infestation, insect invasion, uneven and heavy rainfall, flash flood, unavailability of cultivating machine and inadequate labour during harvesting were found to be the major constraints to mungbean production in the study areas.

Keywords: Profitability, Mungbean, Coastal areas

Location: Patuakhali and Barishal

Start Date: 00-00-2018

End Date: 00-00-2019

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Mungbean

Objectives:

1. To estimate the financial profitability of mungbean production;

2. To find out the mungbean marketing system;

3. To assess value addition at different levels of value chain of Mungbean production;

4. To identify the constraints to mungbean production and suggest some policy recommendation.

Methodology:

The study was conducted in two coastal districts namely Patuakhali and Barishal of Bangladesh. A total of 150 respondents where 120 were the farmers and 60 from each two districts. From the remaining 30 respondent 10 were faria, 6 were Bepari, 4 were processors and remaining 6 were retailer. Data were collected through survey method using a pre- designed and pre – tested questionnaire during 2018-19. The collected data were then edited, summarized, tabulated and analyzed to achieve the objectives of the study. Tabular method of analysis using different statistical tools were used in this study.

Achievement/Findings:

Mungbean is a profitable crop than its competitive crops. Producers share was 49.38 % on variable cost basis and 1.73 % on total cost basis. Besides, Huge manpower is involved in the value addition activities. Although, mungbean is a relatively old crop in Bangladesh, it has an enormous market potential as well as its production. Mungbean can help in improving the economic status of the rural people. This study also revealed that area and production performance of mungbean was not up to the mark due to insect invasion, uneven and heavy rainfall, small pieces of land, shortage of cultivating machine, inadequate labour during harvest, low price of mungbean and flash flood etc. If modern inputs and production technology can be made available to the farmers in time, yield and production of mungbean may be increased which would help the farmers to increase income and improve livelihood conditions. Training, availability of inputs specialy the stress tolerant variety, variety that can be havest at once, ensure fair price of mungbean, better management of land through increased institutional and infrastructural support would help enhance mungbean production and hence help the farmers to earn more income
