Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Present study was conducted in nine agricultural regions of Bangladesh to find out cost and returns from rice cultivation a.In order to carry out the costs-return analysis, the study used a sample survey of 60 Aus, 66 T.Aman and 68 Boro rice growing farmers. Rice farmers used more seed than the recommended rate irrespective of cropping seasons. Farmers applied comparatively lower amount of TSP and MP fertilizer in MV Aus and MV T.Aman crop due to higher price as well as non-availability of the needed amount in proper time. Boro rice farmers obtained higher yield due to better cropping environment, good management practices and use of better genotypes. However, they received comparatively lower gross return due to lower paddy price prevailing at that time. On the contrary, MV T. Aman growers received higher gross return and benefit-cost ratio due to better market price of their product.

Keywords: Cost-return of rice cultivation, Farm level, Inputs used.

Location: Nine agricultural regions of Bangladesh

Start Date: 01-07-2008

End Date: 30-06-2009

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Non-commodity: Rice, Cost of production

Objectives:

Determine the Level of inputs used in MV Aus, MV T.Aman and MV Boro cultivation;
Estimate the costs of cultivation for MV rice in different seasons; and
Evaluate the profitability of MV Aus, MV T.Aman and MV Boro rice cultivation at the farm level.

Methodology:

A multistage random sampling technique was adopted to select the rice farmers from 9 agricultural regions of Bangladesh. In order to carry out the costs-return analysis, the study used a sample survey of 60 Aus, 66 T.Aman and 68 Boro rice growing farmers. Data were collected through direct interviewing the farmers of the same villages where adoption study was done. Structured questionnaire was used for collecting data from the sample farmers. Collected data were analyzed using simple statistical tools.

Achievement/Findings:

Rice farmers used more seed than the recommended rate irrespective of cropping seasons. Farmers applied comparatively lower amount of TSP and MP fertilizer in MV Aus and MV T.Aman crop due to higher price as well as non-availability of the needed amount in proper time. Boro rice farmers obtained higher yield due to better cropping environment, good management practices and use of better genotypes. However, they received comparatively lower gross return due to lower paddy price prevailing at that time. On the contrary, MV T. Aman growers received higher gross return and benefit-cost ratio due to better market price of their product.
