Majority of the population of the country involves in agriculture. The study was undertaken to assess the profitability of Boro rice. A total of 80 farmers were selected by simple random sampling from the villages of Ramganj, Raipur and Ramgati upazila of Laxmipur district. Tabular technique and statistical analysis were done to achieve objectives. The Cobb-Douglas production function was used in this study to determine the effects of effects of individual inputs on Boro rice production. The major findings of the study were that the cultivation ofBoro rice was profitable from the view point of farmers. The total return per hectare 111090.35 Tk. Gross Cost 78202.24 Tk. Total variable cost was 54451.90 Tk. Total fixed cost was 23750 Tk. Net return was 32888.11 Tk. The undiscounted BCR was 1.42. It is also observed that per hectare net returns were influenced by the factors included in model namely: human labor, insecticides, and irrigation. These factors were responsible for influencing per hectare net returns for Boro rice production. There were also some constrains and problems facing by the farmers during the production process as well as marketing of Boro rice. High price of inputs, high cost of irrigation, lack of quality seeds, lack of scientific knowledge about cultivation, inadequate extension service, lack of operating capital, natural calamities, low output price, high cost of transportations etc. were common problems faced by farmers. It can be concluded that the farmers should be encouraged to grow more Boro rice as a means of increasing their income. More HYV ofBoro rice should be cultivated in the study area.

Its acreage and production are also increasing in day after day. This study was accomplished to examine the profitability and technical efficiency of potato cultivation in Bogura district of Bangladesh. A total of 60 cultivators were selected from three upazilas of Bogura district. Data were collected through farm survey by using a suitable pretested questionnaire in February to March, 2018. Descriptive statistics and problems faced index (PFI) were used to attain the objectives. Average gross return, gross margin and net return were found Tk 237236, Tk. 77438 and Tk 55944 respectively. Benefit cost ratio was found 1.31. And there we evaluated that the Log likelihood is 41.3964 and Standard deviation is 0.135. Land preparation, human labour, seed, fertilizer, insecticides, irrigations and harvesting cost were the key factors of potato production. The study identified some major post-harvest problems, unavailability of quality seed, storage problem, holding capacity problem, lower market price, transportation problem, lack of public procurement and load shedding. The potato cultivators opined that potato production would be economically viable if quality seeds with affordable price, processing facilities, storage facilities, marketing facilities, fertilizer or insecticides with reasonable price are ensured.

In total 60 farmers were selected randomly from three villages namely Ghobindopur, Jatrapur and Nowapara under Burichang Upazila in Cumilla district of Bangladesh. Tabular technique and statistical analysis were done to achieve the objectives of the study. The Cobb-Douglas production function was used in this study to determine the effects of individual inputs on boro rice. Per hectare gross cost of Boro farmers was Tk99052.62669 and per hectare gross return was Tk139556.63.It was observed that per hectare net return was Tk. 40504.01.The undiscounted BCR were 1.41.The results indicated that Boro production was profitable .It was also evident from the study that per hectare net returns were influenced by most of the factors included in model namely: human labor, seed, fertilizer and manure, insecticides and pesticides, power tiller, and irrigation. These factors were directly or jointly responsible for influencing per hectare net returns for boro rice production. The study also showed that farmers producing boro rice faced some problems, mainly related to production and marketing of the crops.

The study aims to assess profitability and technical efficiency of Jute. Hundred cultivars of Jute from three upazila namely Islampur, Jamalpur sadar and Melandaha under Jamalpur district were selected for study purpose. A structured questionnaire was constructed for data collection. The results are as descriptive statistics and interpreted based on farmer feedbacks. Findings include that total cost Tk. 62378.51 per hectare, the gross return, gross margin and net return were found to be Tk. 92625, Tk. 50636.00 and Tk. 30246.50 respectively per hectare. Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) was found to be 1.48 which implies that one-taka investment in Jute production generated Tk. 1.48 in our study. The regression coefficients of Seed cost (X 2 ) and Irrigation cost (X 4 ) and Insecticide (X 5 ) were negative but the coefficient of Human labor (X 1 ), Total fertilizer cost (X 3 ), Insecticide cost (X 4 ) was found negative. In the technical inefficiency effect model experience, training, jute retting technology and Farm size have expected (negative) coefficients. The coefficients of farmer’s age and education is positive meaning that these factors have no impact on the technical inefficiency. That is, these factors do not reduce or increase technical inefficiency of producing Jute. Average estimated technical efficiencies for Jute are 92 percent which indicate that Jute production could be increased by 08 per cent with the same level of inputs without incurring any further cost. Increase of only managerial skills result in a substantial increase of output for Jute. Farmers faced a lot of problems in producing Jute. The problems were social and cultural, financial and technical. Lack of quality seed was one of the most important limitations of producing Jute in the study area. Lack of operating capital, high price of quality seed, high cost of irrigation water, shortage of human labor and lack of quality tillage were the major problems faced by farmers. These are the major constraints for the producers of Jute in the study area. Public and private initiatives should be taken to reduce or eliminate these problems for the sake of better production of Jute.
