Abstract:
The present study was conducted to examine an economic analysis of Katarivog rice
cultivation in Parbatipur areas of Dinajpur district. In total 71 farmers were selected
randomly from three villages namely Dolapara, Shemuliapara and Gorerpara under
Parbatipur Upazilla of Dinajpur district in Bangladesh. Primary data were collected
from the farmers by survey method. The study revealed that most of the farmer’s
occupation was agriculture. The gross return, net return and total cost of Katarivog
rice were 128374.11 Tk./ha, 60985.41 Tk./ha and 67388.7 Tk./ha, respectively. Also,
the BCR was 1.905 and that’s kind of BCR is always good for the farmers. The
resource use efficiency showed that the Katarivog rice cultivator failed to use inputs
efficiently, either the input was overused or underused. Among the constraints, attack
by insect and pest was dominant and for suggestions, farmers wanted a stable market.
The government should take necessary steps to overcome these constraints and
expand the production of this valuable rice variety in Bangladesh.
