Info

The UDP coverage targets and results for the quarters in Table 2 are for the seasons. The cumulative data add the last three seasons. Table 5 calculates net areas after adjusting for cropping intensity by district using the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) reports of cropping intensity in the AAPI districts. Table 5.

Cropping intensity from BBS Census of Agriculture, 2008, pages 40-42. The block survey was used to estimate the average crop area per farm for Aus season. Table 6 provides the data by district. The average crop area per farm is 79 decimals in the FTF districts and 50 decimals in M&S. This is compared with Aus 2011 when the respective areas were 74 decimals in the Barisal region 11 and 60 decimals in M&S. It might also be compared with 60 decimals reported by ILSAFARM for the Aus crop areas in 2010. The fall in M&S can be explained by the drought. In the southern districts, there remains a steady rise in areas per farm. It indicates that farmers have confidence in the technology. 11 In 2011, the project only covered nine districts in the south.
Table 6. Average Plot Size per Farm in Aus Season 2012 District Average UDP Plot Size (ha) 13 Average UDP Plot Size (decimal) Bagerhat 0.35 87 Barguna 0.56 139 Barisal 0.39 95 Bhola 0.30 75 Chuadanga 0.15 37 Faridpur 0.18 44 Gopalganj 0.14 33 Jessore 0.23 57 Jhalokati 0.31 77 Jhenaidah 0.21 52 Khulna 0.14 34 Madaripur 0.20 48 Magura 0.21 51 Meherpur 0.22 54 Narail 0.18 44 Patuakhali 0.39 96 Pirojpur 0.36 89 Rajbari 0.14 35 Satkhira 0.12 30 Shariatpur 0.14 34 FTF Average 0.32 79 Mymensingh 0.20 50 Sherpur 0.21 51 M&S Average 0.20 50 AAPI Average 0.31 78 Source: Aus block survey 2012, AAPI-IFDC. Farmer confidence in the technology is also evidenced in the high retention rate from one year to the next. When comparing the number of farmers using FDP technology in Aus 2012 with those in Aus 2011, the retention rate is over 90 percent, except in districts where the drought was severe. Rural Households Benefited A household is a beneficiary if it contains at least one individual who is a beneficiary. For AAPI this is defined as an individual engaged with a project activity who has already either shown benefit from the activity or has a high likelihood of gaining benefits due to his/her significant level of engagement with the project. This is calculated from the number of farmers trained and the number of rural entrepreneurs who procured the fertilizer briquette machines at a reduced rate and directly benefited from an intervention of AAPI. This quarter there were 116,708 (116,583 farmers and 125 briquette producers) households directly
