Abstract:
This study was conducted to assess the economic analysis of Boro rice production. 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.
