Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was conducted at Chirirbandar upazilla of Dinajpur district. Multistage purposive sampling technique was followed for selecting study village Farmers are very much interested to cultivate aromatic rice because of higher return as well as higher profit. The findings of the study revealed that BRRI dhan34 gave higher price and reasonable yield than other varieties, and as a result, farmers obtained satisfactory level of benefit by producing aromatic rice especially BRRI dhan34. Rice Breeder should take strong initiatives to develop higher yield producing and stem borer resistance aromatic rice varieties for Aman season. Beside the domestic demand, aromatic and fine rice have good potentials at international markets. The price of aromatic rice shows substantial fluctuations over the year mainly due to improper production and marketing plan, causing severe disinterest to the producers. So, market oriented production plan should be made. Both government and non-government organization should take necessary steps regarding the above issues.
