Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was under taken in 9 agricultural regions to determine the level of inputs used in MV Aus, MV T.Aman and MV Boro rice cultivation, estimate the cost of MV rice cultivation in different seasons and evaluate the profitability of MV Aus, MV T. Aman and MV Boro rice cultivation at the farm level.A multistage random sampling technique was adopted to select the rice farmers . Results indicated that rice farmers used more seed than the recommended rate irrespective of cropping seasons. They applied comparatively lower amount of TSP and MP fertilizer due to their ignorance. MV Boro growers obtained higher yield due to better cropping environment, good management practices and use of better genotypes. They received comparatively lower amount of gross return from MV Aus owing to lower yield. MV T. Aman growers received higher net return due to better market prices.

Keywords: Inputs used, Modern rice, Cost of MV rice

Location: Nine agricultural regions of Bangladesh

Start Date: 01-07-2010

End Date: 30-06-2011

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Non-commodity: Rice, Profitability

Objectives:

Determine the level of inputs used in MV Aus, MV T.Aman and MV Boro rice cultivation;
Estimate the cost of MV rice cultivation 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 cost-return analysis, the study used a sample survey of 68 Aus, 60 T. Aman and 36 Boro rice growers. Data were collected through direct interviewing the farmers . Structured questionnaire was used for collecting data from the sample farmers.Collected data were analyzed using simple statistical tools and presented in tabular form.

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 mainly due to their ignorance about the recommended dose and sometimes for financial constraints. 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 from Aus rice due to lower paddy yield. On the contrary, MV T. Aman growers received higher net return and benefit-cost ratio due to better market price of their product. MV Boro rice farmers received higher gross return.
