Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The economic of jute seed is undoubtedly a milestone in the way of development of the farmer’s income, as well as Bangladesh economics. So this study is a modest attempt to understand the economics of jute seed in some selected area of Bangladesh. Survey was carried out of selected 6 locations namely Jessore, Chapai-Nawabjganj, & Rangpur for olitorius and Rajshahi, Tangail & Manikganj for capsularis jute seed production during the jute season 2011-12. The average benefit cost ration (BCR) was negative on full cost basis where as the average benefit cost ration (BCR) was positive (1.86) on cash cost basis. Both average gross return and gross margin per hectare were Tk.84138/ha and Tk. -16335/ha on the basis of full cost basis, where as in cash cost basis gross margin per hectare were Tk. 33612/ha over the locations. The highest gross return and gross margin was observed in Tangail (94103 Tk/ha) and (4964 Tk/ha) on the basis of full cost. The average benefit cost ration (BCR) was negative on full cost basis where as the average benefit cost ration (BCR) was positive (1.67) on cash cost basis.

Keywords: Cost and return, Jute seed,Production

Location: Jessore, Chapai-Nawabjganj, & Rangpur for olitorius and Rajshahi, Tangail & Manikganj for capsularis jute seed production areas.

Start Date: 00-00-2011

End Date: 00-00-2012

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

i) To estimate the cost and return for late jute seed crop production; and

ii) To identify the socio-economic constraints of late jute seed crop production.

Methodology:

Structured questionnaire survey was conducted during 2011 jute seed growing season for collecting the associated data on production activity. The survey was conducted at six locations where jute seed are grown intensively. A total sample of 60 farmers (10 farmers from each location) will be selected randomly. Tabular method will be used for analyzing the data. Co-ordination from the respective scientists at research stations of BJRI, concerned personnel from DAE and Jute Directorate will be taken in need for data collection during the study.

Achievement/Findings:

The economic of jute seed is the way of development of the farmer’s income, as well as Bangladesh economics. In olitorius jute seed, based on the survey results, it was found that the average total cost (TC) of all the location was amounted to Tk. 73663 per hectare. The average cash cost per hectare was, about 53% of total cost, amounting to Tk. 38961 at farm level. The total cost per hectare was found highest in Chapai-Nawabganj (Tk.99752) compared to other locations. It appears that per hectare average yield of seed, fibre and stick was 550 kg/ha, 1160/kg and 3069 kg/ha. The highest gross return and gross margin was observed in Rangpur (84412 Tk/ha) and (31398 Tk/ha) on the basis of full cost. In capsularis jute seed production at farm level, it was found that the average total cost (TC) of all the location was amounted to Tk. 84138 per hectare. The average cash cost per hectare was, about 49% of total cost, amount to Tk. 41408 at farm level. The total cost per hectare was found highest in Tangail (Tk. 99242) caomared to other locations. This was due to higher wages of human labour. The highest gross return and gross margin was observed in Tangail (94103 Tk/ha) and (4964 Tk/ha) on the basis of full cost. The average benefit cost ration (BCR) was negative on full cost basis where as the average benefit cost ration (BCR) was positive (1.67) on cash cost basis.
