The present study was designed to measure production profitability of banana in selected area of Narsingdi district. Primary data were collected from the banana growing area of Shibpur and Manohordi under Narsingdi district. Thirty farmers were selected through convenience sampling procedure. Simple descriptive methods were used to analyze the data. Among many cultivars Champa (Apple Banana) had been selected for this research work. The major findings of the study revealed that banana production was profitable. Demographic characteristics of banana farmers were categorized into age, education, farming experience, farm size and family size. In this study, it was found that young and illiterate farmers were mostly engaged in banana cultivation. Farming experience of Banana farmers ranged from 2 to above 20 years. Farm gate price of banana received by farmers per bunch was Tk. 450 and purchase price per bunch of banana paid by retailers was Tk. 680. Average sales price per bunch of banana as received by retailer was Tk. 720. It was seen that gross return per bunch of banana was Tk. 450. Variable cost per Chari of banana was Tk. 62.35. Total cost per Chari of banana cultivation (with marketing) was Tk. 115.29. Gross margin was obtained by deducting total variable cost from gross return. Gross margin per Chari of banana was Tk. 387.65. Net return was estimated by subtracting total cost from gross return. Net return per Chari of banana was Tk. 334.65. The undiscounted benefit cost ratio (BCR) was found 3.90. In our study areas farmers faced many problems in the production of banana. The major problems faced by them included lack of availability of adequate input, higher input cost; lack of subsidy, inadequate capital, Lack of quality sucker was a major problem for banana cultivation. The Government should provide credit facilities through Bangladesh Krishi Bank (BKB) and other commercial banks. Adequate amount of inputs including HYV suckers should be supplied by the government at subsidized prices in the Banana producing areas. Transportation facilities should be improved in the study areas. Low cost storage facilities should be developed at the primary and secondary markets by the local Government authority.

The specific objectives of the study are as follows: a) To determine the socio-demographic characteristics of producers. b) To calculate the profitability of banana producers and value chain actors. c) To identify the constraints of banana production and suggest measures for the improvement of banana production in the selected area.

Methodology is the systemic steps of action which involve collection of reliable data from the selected sample farmers as per objectives of the research. It is an indispensable and integral part of any research. To a large degree, the reliability of every experimental study relies on the required methods. Selection of the study area: On the basis of high concentration of Banana cultivation and production, Narsingdi district is considered as one of the leading banana producing zones in Bangladesh. Two upazilas namely Shibpur and Manohordi of Narsingdi district were selected. Selection of Banana: Banana is an important fruit of Bangladesh widely grown. Many types of bananas are commercially produced by the farmers in the study area. These are BARI Kola-1, Amritsagar, Sabri, Champa and Kabri are the commercial cultivars. The other cultivars are Mehersagar, Dudsagar, Agniswar, Genasundari, Kanaibanshi, Basrai, Binisuta, etc. Among these cultivars Champa (Apple Banana) has been selected for this research work. Sampling technique: Convenience Sampling is used for this study. Sample Size: Thus total sample size was 30. Sources of Data: The study is involved in collection of data both from the primary and secondary sources. Different types of data and their sources are discussed under the following heads:

Primary Data: Primary data from respondents were collected through face to face contact. During data collection the objectives of the study were clearly explained to the respondents. Secondary Data: For the research purpose secondary data would also be collected from different sources like books, journals, newspaper, and document of BBS. Study Period: Data would be collected by survey method with the help of pre-designed and pretested interview schedule during November 2017 to February 2018. Processing and analysis of data: After collecting information, the filled up schedule were scrutinized and checked to avoid irrelevant information. The collected data were edited, coded and finally tabulated according to objectives of the study. In order to minimize error data were collected in local unit (e.g. acre) and later it was converted into standard unit. Finally, tabulated data are analyzed and condensed by using average, percentage and ratio. A list of relevant tables was prepared to obtain the result.

Banana is an extensively cultivated species in Shibpur and Manohordi of Narsingdi district. However, banana production was more profitable than any other fruit production. The management practice of based on the findings of the study it can be concluded apparently that considerable scope exists to increase the productivity of banana and to develop the value chain. Expanded banana cultivation can upgrade the living standard of the function areas of value chain. Banana enterprise in the study area was not found efficient enough. Despite of some limitations, the findings of the study confirm that the farmers can obtain positive net return from cultivation of banana. In the context of income generation and poverty alleviation, production of crop like banana may play a crucial role in meeting the cash needs of the farmers. The findings of the study also revealed that the trading of banana is a profitable venture to different intermediaries. The profit of retailers was higher than that of other intermediaries and the profit was found reasonable.
