PROFITABILITY OF WINTER VEGETABLES CULTIVATION IN SOME SELECTED AREAS OF BANGLADEH DAS, SARUP KUMAR The present study was designed to analyze the production, cost, return and profitability of three winter vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower and tomato) production of six villages of Rajbari District in Bangladesh. To achieve the objectives, data were collected from 90 vegetable cultivars. Among the selected 90 farmers, 30 were cabbage cultivars, 30 were cauliflower cultivars and 30 were tomato cultivars. The sample farmers were selected through purposive sampling technique. The major findings of the study were: among the winter vegetables, cauliflower production was more profitable. Per hectare profitability of growing vegetables from the viewpoints of individual farmers was measured in terms of gross return, gross margin and net return. Per hectare gross costs of cabbage, cauliflower and tomato production were Tk. 127754, Tk. 139735 and Tk. 144246 respectively, and per hectare average yields of cabbage, cauliflower and tomato were estimated at 15265kg/ha 16788 kg/ha, and 12377 kg/ha, respectively. Per hectare gross returns of cabbage, cauliflower and tomato were Tk. 244240, Tk. 369336 and Tk. 309425, respectively. Per hectare net returns of brinjal, country bean and cabbage were Tk. 116486, Tk. 229601, and Tk. 165179, respectively. It shows that cost of production per hectare was higher for tomato than for cabbage and cauliflower. The study also shows that per hectare yield, gross returns, gross margin, net return and benefit cost ratio of cauliflower were higher than those of cabbage and tomato. Therefore, it is clear that cauliflower production was most profitable among the three crops. The major problems of cabbage and cauliflower production were insect infestation and for it was low market price. High yielding variety should be available before the growing season, it should be minimized the seed cost and proper govt. monitor needed for maximizing farmer’s profitability.

SOCIO- ECONOMIC STATUS AND MARKETING SYSTEM OF BANANA CULTIVATORS IN NARSINGDI DISTRICT SARMIN, NUSRAT The study was conducted to identify the socio- economic status and marketing system of banana cult ivator’s associat ion between two categorical indicators of sampled respondents, marketing channel of banana in study area and examine the problems of banana producers in production and marketing by using the concerned software SPSS-21(Statistical Package for the Social Science). The data have been collected through pre-designed and pre-tested questionnaire from 60 farm households. On the basis of education level, major part is primary were 40%. The average annual agricultural income estimated as 108596.49 TK. from other crops, 152631.58 TK. from livestock, 65789.47 TK. from fishery and 145357.14 TK. from others. And average annual non-agricultural income estimated as 46500.00 TK. from land rent, 106000.00 TK. from house rent, 180000.00 TK. from wage/salary and 221953.49 TK. from others. Average total land of respondent was 1.84 acres, average cultivated land was 1.64 acres and average banana cultivated area was .85 acres. There is statistically less significant relationship between education and occupation also between education and family size, farmer categories and types of banana cultivation respectively but significant relationship between farmer categories and credit excess of banana cultivators. It was estimated that average annual total cost of production of banana was TK. 372,400, while gross return and net returns per farm were Tk. 550,400and Tk. 178,000 respectively. The overall benefit cost ratio of banana farming came out to 1.48 indicating that one Taka investment resulted in a net benefit of Tk.1.48. The marketing cost for petty trader, wholesaler and retailer was Tk. 21.12, Tk.16.05 and Tk.13.50 respectively. Retailer was the last intermediary of marketing channel. They were directly involved with customer. So retailer achived higher gross margin TK 50. The marketing cost was lowest for retailer and wholesaler and their gross margin were higher than other intermediaries. So, the net margin was highest for retailer and wholesaler Tk 36.5 and 28.95 respectively. The major problem found in the study was insect and disease infestation.

FLOATING VEGETABLE GARDENING IN BANGLADESH: A WAY TO IMPROVE INCOME AND LIVELIHOOD OF THE FARMERS RANA, MD. SHOHEL The objectives of this study were to assess the socio-economic characteristics and the effect of floating gardening on income and livelihood of the farmers. The study was conducted in Gopalganj and Pirojpur district. Data were collected from the randomly selected 60 respondents during August to September, 2019. Descriptive statistics was used for analysis. Total variable cost of floating bed vegetable production were Tk. 1856, Tk. 1857, Tk. 1876 and Tk. 1922 per bed for tomato, brinjal, chili and red amaranth respectively. Per bed total cost of producing vegetable per year was found to be Tk. 2651, Tk. 2638, Tk. 2640 and Tk. 2734 for tomato, brinjal, chili and red amaranth respectively. Gross margin was found to be Tk. 2734, Tk. 2524, Tk. 2714 and Tk. 2716 per bed for tomato, brinjal, chili and red amaranth respectively. Net return was estimated as Tk. 1939, Tk. 1743, Tk. 1950 and Tk. 1904 per bed for tomato, brinjal, chili and red amaranth respectively. Floating vegetable gardening improves the livelihood status of the growers. Lack of capital was the severe problem followed by lack of awareness of farmers regarding floating gardening system.

PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS AND RESOURCE USE EFFICIENCY OF JUTE IN SOME SELECTED AREAS OF GOPALGANJ DISTRICT IN BANGLADESH SONYA Jute has always played an important role in the economy of Bangladesh.The objectives of the present study to determine the socioeconomic condition, profitability, resource use efficiency, problems of the farmers. The present study was conducted at Muksudpur Upazilla of Gopalganj district of Bangladesh. Simple random sampling was used to select the respondents. To achieve the purpose of the study total 60 respondents were selected. The amount of human labor used for jute cultivation was 115 man days per hectare. Total cost of human labor amounted to Tk. 40250 per hectare. Total variable cost was Tk 57735 per hectare for jute production. Per hectare interest on operating capital was Tk 1924.5. The study revealed that total cost, gross return and net return of the jute production is Tk. 77659.5, Tk. 96,016.50 as well as Tk. 18357 respectively. It was evident from the study that the benefit cost ratio of jute farming was 1.24. In the study area, use of insecticide, fertilizer and seed for jute farming was under used as well as labour and cowdung were over used. To determine the factors that affecting the production and gross return Cobb Douglas Production function was used where labor, seed, as well as fertilizer were statistically significant. In the study area various problems which were faced by farmers such as lack of capital, high price of fertilizers and insecticides, scarcity of good quality seeds, attack by pest and disease, lack of training, lack of adequate transport facilities, lack of storage facilities, lack of marketing facilities, and lack of market information. To solve the problems some recommendations were made.
