Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was conducted in Jessore and Rangpur districts during 2002-2003 to know the profitability and adoption status of BARI Gimakalmi-1. The adoption status was found low. The average yield of Gimakalmi was found to be 18210 kg/ha. The cost of production was Tk 19626 and Tk 7315 per hectare on full cost and cash cost basis respectively. Net return was calculated at Tk 35004 and Tk 47.315 per hectare, respectively for full cost and cash cost basis. Benefit cost ratio were 2.78 and 7.47 while returns to labour were Tk 236 and Tk 726 per man-day on full cost and cash cost, respectively. Low demand in the market and low market price were two major problems faced by the farmers in producing of BARI Gimakalmi-1.

The highest (89%) persentage of farmers mentioned that this variety gave higher yield followed by low cost (85%), low risk in production (76%), multiple harvesting crop (68%) and easy to cultivate in homestead area (65%). There were many problems for BARI Gimakalmi-1production. These problems were ranked according to their priority. The ranked one problem was low demand in the market, followed by low market price, lack of good quality seed, unavailability of seed, high price of seed.
