Abstract:
This study was conveyed to financial profitability and resource use efficiency
measurement of rose cultivation in Kaligonj upazila of Jhenaidah district. In this study,
a total of 60 farmers were selected as sample and a structured questionnaire was used
to collect data in the period of January-February, 2021. In this study, Cobb-Douglas
production function was used to analysis factor affecting of rose production. From this
study, it was calculated that the average per hectare total cost for rose production was
Tk. 628728 as well as variable cost and fixed cost of rose production per hectare was
TK.483128 (76.84%) and TK.145600 (23.16%) respectively. Additionally, per hectare
total gross return of rose production was estimated Tk.1246712. The net return per
hectare from rose production was Tk. 617984. Moreover, gross margin of rose
production was TK. 763584. Furthermore, Benefit Cost Ratio of rose production was
1.98 on full cost basis which indicates that the rose production was profitable venture
in the study area. The result also revealed that land preparation cost, seedling cost, MoP
cost and insecticide cost had positive and significant effect on gross return of rose
production whereas manure cost and TSP cost had negative but significant effect on
gross return of rose production. Additionally, the expense on human labor, manure,
TSP and irrigation were over-utilization and expense on land preparation, seedling,
Urea, MoP and insecticide were under-utilization in rose production. The present study
identified some problems faced by the farmers. Lack of technical knowledge, nonavailability
of HYV seedling and infestation of insects and diseases are main issues
observed in rose cultivation.
