So, the present study is conducted to identify and analyze the profitability of rose relative profitability, potentialities and constraints during December 2014. Two villages (Sayedpara and Potuapara) of Jhikargachha Upazila under Jessore District were selected as study area. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were taken into consideration. A total of 100 rose growing farmers were randomly selected for this study. In this study, both descriptive and statistical tools is used to analyze the data. The average cost of rose cultivation is Tk.383561 and Tk.252734 per hectare on total cost and variable cost basis, respectively. The major share of total cost is for human labor (22%), land use (21%) fertilizer (22%) irrigation (6%) insecticide (12%).The yield of rose is 55,85,02 flowers per hectare. The net return from rose cultivation is Tk. 454192 per hectare. The benefit cost ratios are 3.31 and 2.18 on variable cost and full cost basis, respectively. The highest profit is obtained from rose cultivation compared to its competitive flowers like gladiolus, marigold and others for rose. Human labor, land preparation cost, seedling, urea, TSP, MoP and irrigation has positive effect on the yield of rose. Lack of technical knowledge, non-availability of HYV seedling, and infestation of insects and diseases are major problems found in rose cultivation. Government should take necessary steps to overcome these problems.

The input costs of the mixed cropping used in this study were land, labor, seed and fertilizers. The study was conducted in four randomly selected unions from Kalkini upazila under Madaripur district. Data on cost and returns of pulse and oilseeds were obtained from 80 randomly selected mixed cropping farmers of those unions namely Nabagram, Kazibakai, Dasar and Gopalpur. Pearson’s correlation co-efficient was used to explore the relationship between the concerned variables. Findings showed that the profitability of mixed cropping was Tk 9150.37 at Tk 120740.90 of total costs. The correlation co-efficient showed that land, labor, seed and fertilizers were positively correlated with profitability of mixed cropping. The study showed the problems faced by the farmers in practicing mixed cropping and also recommended some policies to overcome the problems.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the socio-economic characteristics of the broiler farmers, to estimate the costs, returns and profitability of broiler enterprise and to determine the contribution of the key variables to the production of broiler farms. For achieving these objectives, 80 broiler farms were selected randomly from Dhamrai upazila of Dhaka District. Both tabular and econometric techniques were used to find out the results. Costs and returns were calculated separately through tabular analysis to find out the profitability of broiler production. The results of the analysis showed that on average total cost of broilers per farm per year was Tk. 301142.103. It was found that the variable cost per farm per year stood at Tk. 238728.73 which accounted for 79.28 percent of total cost. The total fixed cost per farm per year accounted to Tk. 62413.373. It is evident from the study that the gross return per farm per batch stood at Tk. 431400. The net return over total cost per farm per year was calculated at Tk. 130257.90. The benefit cost ratios of broiler farming were 1.80 on variable cost basis and 1.43 on total cost basis. Findings of the study clearly indicated that broiler production was a profitable enterprise. Cobb-Douglas production function analysis was used to estimate the contribution of the key variables of the production of broiler farms. The functional analysis indicated that most of the selected variables had significant impact on the production of broiler farms. This study also identified some economic, marketing, technical, social and natural problems in broiler production. Finally, on the basis of findings of this study, some recommendations were made for the development of broiler farming in Bangladesh.

The contribution of agricultural sector to Gross Domestic Product is about 16.33 percent in the FY 2013-14 of which fisheries sub-sector contributes about 22.61 percent to the broad agricultural sector Gross Domestic Product. The overall objectives of the present study were to examine socio-demographic profile of shrimp producing farmers, to assess profitability and resource use efficiency of shrimp farming. Bagerhat district was selected for the study on the basis of extensive cultivation of shrimp. Simple random sampling technique had been used for collecting data from 105 sample farmers through interview schedule. After analyzing the data, per hectare gross return, net return, and gross margin were found to be Tk. 364222.00, Tk. 215931.00 & Tk. 260095.00 respectively. Total costs of shrimp production were calculated at Tk. 148291.00 per hectare.
