4.4.2 Technological advice given to the farmers by the seed dealersFrom the survey study it is observed that almost all the seed dealers (93.75%) provided technologicaladvice to the farmers regarding the crop production (Table 4.4.2). But a small proportion of seed dealer(6.25%) did not give any advice to the farmers. This result stated that the seed dealers could play asignificant impact on farmers’ motivation for the adoption of technologies regarding crop production.Table 4.4.2 Technological advice given to the farmers by the seed dealersTechnological advicegiven to the farmers% RespondentsYes 93.75No 6.25Total 100.004.4.3 Seed suppliers for the seed dealers in the study areasThe study results showed that a good numbers of seed suppliers (public, Seed Company and NGO)were involved in seed marketing in the study areas. BADC was the only public seed supplier to the seeddealers in the study areas. Among the seed companies Syngenta, United, Siddique Seed, Modhu,BAYER, Agrophill, Malik & Namdharee Seeds, ACI, Aftab Bahumukhi Farm, Lal Teer, Dynamic,National Seed and Mapol were the prominent ones (Table 4.4.3).Table 4.4.3 Seed suppliers for the seed dealers in the study areasStudy areaName of the seed supplierPublic Seed company NGORajshahi BADC Syngenta, United, Siddique Seed, Modhu, Byre, Agrophill, BRACMalik & Namdharee Seeds, Lal TeerRangpur BADC Syngenta, ACI, Aftab Bahumukhi Farm, Malik & BRACNamdharee Seeds, Dynamic, Supreme Seed Company,MapolKishoregonj BADC Syngenta, National Seed, ACI BRAC4.4.4 Seeds of cereal crops sold by the dealersThe seed dealers in the study areas are used to sale quite a good amount of seeds of cereal crops/year.On average the seed dealer in Rajshahi sold 580kg, 525kg and 69 kg seeds of rice, wheat and maize,respectively during the year of 2008-09 (Table 4.4.4). In Kishoregonj, a large amount of maize seed(2500 kg/dealer) was sold to the farmers. But it was observed that none of dealers gave anycompensation to the farmers for crop failure due to low quality seed supply.Table 4.4.4 Seeds of cereal crops sold by the dealers in the study areas (2008-09)CropCompensation given to the farmers for cropAmount of sold seed (kg)/Dealer/Yeardamage due to low quality seed% RespondentsRajshahi Rangpur KishoregonjYesNoRice 580 980 - 0 100Wheat 525 500 - 0 100Maize 69 300 2500 0 100102
4.4.5 Seed purchase and sale price for the dealer (2008-09)Table 4.4.5 shows that the average purchase and sale prices of rice seed of Open Pollinated (OP)varieties were Tk. 38.26 and Tk. 41.45/kg in the study areas while the prices for hybrid variety werevery high (Tk.195.94 and 210.94/kg seed, respectively). Similarly, the average purchase and sale pricesof wheat seed were Tk. 26.41 and 31.03/kg seed, respectively. On the other hand, the average purchasefor maize seed was Tk. 159.52/kg and sale price, Tk. 185.48/kg. It is observed that the seed dealersearned more profit by selling the seeds of hybrid maize (Tk. 23.65/kg seed) and hybrid rice varieties(Tk. 13.00/kg seed). However the average profit for OP rice and wheat were Tk. 2.76 and Tk. 3.88/kgseed, respectively.Table 4.4.5 Seed purchase and sale prices for the dealer (2008-09)Location Crop VarietyPurchaseprice(Tk./kg)Sale price(Tk./kg)Marketingcost(Tk./kg)Profit(Tk./kg)RiceRajsjhahi Rice (OP) BR11, BRRI dhan28, Swarna 27.52 30.39 0.82 2.52Rangpur Rice (OP) BRRI dhan28, BRRI dhan29 49.00 52.50 0.50 3.00Average - - 38.26 41.45 0.66 2.76CV (%) - - 17.21 13.37 3.45 5.37Rajshahi Rice (Hybrid) Jagoron, Heera-2 200.00 220.00 2.00 18.00Rangpur Rice (Hybrid) Heea-2, Aftab, Aloron, ACI-1/2, 191.88 201.88 2.00 8.00Jagoron, Chomok, FolonAverage - 195.94 210.94 2.00 13.00CV (%) - - 7.32 5.47 - 21.34WheatRajshahi Wheat Protiva, Shatabdi, Sonalika,Gourab32.81 38.06 0.37 4.25Rangpur Wheat Protiva, Shatabdi 20.00 24.00 0.50 3.50Average - - 26.41 31.03 0.43 3.88CV (%) - - 15.12 13.27 2.14 4.51MaizeRajshahi Maize Pacific 11, NK 40, JK Seed- 177.39 211.30 2.61 31.30502, Pacific 984, Pacific 1921Kishoregonj Maize NK 40, Pacific 984, Pacific 11, 141.65 159.65 2.00 16.00Heera-2, Pacific 945, Agro G849, SP 100, NT, 900M GoldAverage - - 159.52 185.48 2.31 23.65CV (%) - - 13.11 14.52 - 10.21103
