Bangladesh is the country with distinct agricultural setting. It is the most populous
country in the world with 163.7 million populations and population density of 1103
person per square kilometer. Boro rice production plays an important role in achieving
food security of Bangladesh. Due to high population growth rate, food security has
become a burning issue in Bangladesh economy where 21.8 percent people lived under
poverty level. Efficiency of Boro rice producer is an important factor because of rice is
the staple food in Bangladesh. Annual consumption of rice is 134.02 kg. per capita in
Bangladesh. This study attempted to examine the profitability and technical efficiency
level of Boro rice farmers and inefficiency factors which affects production. One
hundred and twenty (120) Boro rice farmers has been selected through simple random
sampling procedure from three villages under Jamalpur Sadar upazila of Jamalpur
district which comprising of 40 farmers from each village. The study has employed
Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier production function to estimate technical efficiency
for Boro rice cultivation. Result reveals that per hectare total cost of production was
Tk. 114931.68 per hectare. Gross returns was Tk. 120600.43 and net returns was Tk.
5668.75. Per hectare yields of Boro rice was found 6940 kg. Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR)
was found 1.05 which implied that one taka investment in Boro rice production
generated Tk. 1.05. The mean technical efficiency of the Boro rice was 87 percent.
Human labour, seeds, fertilizers, insecticides, irrigation and power tiller (for land
preparation) were important factors for production of Boro rice. Education, experience,
farm size and training has expected negative sign which can reduce the farmer’s
inefficiency in the study area. The study also identified some problems faced by the
Boro rice growers and suggested some recommendations to improve the present Boro
rice production. |
