It should be noted that in setting the targets and reporting of results there is no<br />

accounting for cropping intensity. As per the CA provision, the cumulative areas reported for<br />

FDP coverage across the last three seasons. However, the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics<br />

reports a cropping intensity between 121-208% in the <strong>AAPI</strong> districts. Table 5 calculates net<br />

areas after adjusting for cropping intensity by district.<br />

Cropping intensity from BBS Census of Agriculture, 2008.<br />

The Block Survey was used to estimate the average crop area per farm for Boro<br />

season. Table 6 provides the data by district. The average crop area per farm is 79 decimals<br />

in the FTF districts and 82 decimals in M&S. This is compared with 70 decimals and 67<br />

decimals, respectively, for the Boro 2011 season. It might also be compared with the Boro<br />

crop areas per farm reported by ILSAFARM of 40 decimals in 2009 and 75 decimals in 2010.<br />

This is a good sign that the technology is not only attracting larger numbers of farmers, but<br />
