farmers were 5346 kg and 4436 kg/ha in Boro and T.aman rice, respectively. In contrast, the smallfarmers achieved the lowest yield (5071 kg and 4229 kg/ha in Boro and T.aman rice, respectively). Butthe average grain yields of Boro and T.aman rice were 5306kg and 4367 kg/ha, respectively at all thesites. The main reasons underlying it were that large and medium farmers applied the production inputsnear to the recommended rates but the small farmers had low access to these inputs due to high price.Table 4.1.32 Grain yield of rice in study areasFarmers’categoryGrain yield of rice (kg/ha)Rajshahi Rangpur Jessore Average (all sites)Boro T.aman T.aus Boro T.aman Boro T.aman Boro T.amanLarge 5823 4878 3928 5424 4328 5256 4105 5501 4437Medium 5546 4824 3987 5362 4287 5131 4198 5346 4436Small 5042 4477 3736 5299 4136 4873 4073 5071 4229Average 5470 4726 3884 5362 4250 5087 4125 5306 4367CV (%) 10.34 9.12 10.32 9.87 8.73 9.17 8.65 - -4.1.33 Frequency distribution of Boro rice yieldThe frequency distribution for the yields of Boro rice in Rangpur is presented in Fig. 4.1.5 and it showsthat the farmers at this location obtained the grain yield ranging from 3000kg to 7500 kg/ha. The actualyields were, however, concentrated within 4750kg to 6250kg/ha and beyond these values, the frequencyhas drastically reduced.4 0F r e q u e n c y o f y ie ld le v e l3 02 01 00S td .

4.1.34 Production cost and profitability of rice grainBoro riceThe production package and profitability analysis for Boro rice in Rajshahi, Rangpur and Jessore sitesare presented in Table 4.1.33 and Annexes 11-12. It is observed that the average variable and total costswere Tk. 50,692 and Tk. 60,692/ha. Besides, the average gross return was Tk. 69,663/ha. The averagebenefit cost ratio (total cost basis) was 1.15. From the results, it can be reviewed that Boro ricecultivation for grain purpose is not that much profitable.Table 4.1.33 Production cost and profitability of Boro rice for grain at all sites (2008-09)ItemQtyRajshahi Rangpur Jessore Average (all sites)ValueValueValueValueQtyQtyQty(Tk./ha)(Tk./ha)(Tk./ha)(Tk./ha)Ploughing number 3.16 2344 4.4 3236 3 3900 4 3160Seed (kg) 43 989 39 1160 30 900 37 1016Manure (kg) 2228 1114 6203 3102 7500 3750 5310 2655Oil cake (kg) - - - - 120 2400 120 2400Urea (kg) 338 4060 225 2696 250 3000 271 3252TSP/DAP (kg) 70 2800 61 2440 60 2400 64 2547MP (kg) 60 1810 46 1380 88 3520 65 2237Gypsum (kg) 57 285 39 195 75 350 57 277Zinc Sulphate (kg) 3 180 1.9 224 7.75 465 4 290Irrigation (No.) - 13117 - 10000 Con. 7100 - 10072Weeding (No.) 3 - 1.8 - 3 - 2.6 -Herbicide - 594 - 1027 - - 811Insecticide - 1098 - - 2300 - 1098Human Labour (MD) 227 27200 164 19640 213 21300 201 22713a) Total variable cost - 55591 - 45100 51385 - 50692b) Fixed cost (for land) - 10000 - 10000 - 10000 - 10000Total cost (a+b) - 65591 - 55100 61385 - 60692Yield (kg): Grain 5656 62220 5362 58978 6000 75000 5673 65399Straw 11350 2838 7507 3754 6200 6200 8352 4264Gross return (Tk./ha) - 65057 - 62732 81200 - 69663Gross margin:a) Variable cost basis - 9466 - 17633 29815 - 18971b) Total cost basis - -534 - 7633 19815 - 8971BCR (total cost basis) - 0.99 - 1.14 1.32 - 1.15Costing rate (Jessore): Rice seed @ Tk. 30.00/kg, Compost @ Tk. 0.50/kg, Oil cake @ Tk. 20.00/kg, Urea @ Tk.12/kg, TSP @ Tk. 40.00/kg, MP @ Tk. 40.00/kg, Gypsum @ Tk. 5.00/kg, Zinc sulphate @ Tk. 60.00/kg, Labourwage @ Tk. 100.00/manday, Rice grain @ Tk. 12.50/kg, Rice straw @ Tk. 1.00/kgT.aman riceTable 4.1.34 shows the cost and return of T.aman rice. The total cost of production of T.aman rice ha -1was Tk 32,820 and the gross return was Tk 59,500. The gross margin was Tk 26,680 with BCR of 1.81.The cost of crop production and its return mainly depend on the rate of inputs used (seed, fertilizers,pesticides etc.), land/soil type, number of irrigation needed, number of labor and their wage rate,management practices, marketing facilities of the crop products etc. As all these factors differ from onelocation to another across the study sites, the production cost and hence, the economic return for ricegrain/seed as assessed through the present study presumably varied widely.41
