In this regard, a good numbers of public and private seed companies inBangladesh are involved in production and marketing of modern crop varieties with a view toimproving food security in the country.As a part of the present study, an evaluation was made on rice seed production package and profitabilityamong the Contract Seed Growers of BADC in Rajshahi for the year of 2008-2009. The study revealsthat the seed production programme for hybrid rice needed more production inputs than that of openpollinated Boro and T.aman rice varieties (Table 4.1.35). The total variable costs for Boro, T.aman andhybrid rice cultivation were Tk. 43,549, Tk. 30,964 and Tk. 131,858 /ha, respectively. The gross returnsunder these rice varieties were Tk. 92,294, Tk. 68,480 and Tk. 307,895 while the gross margins (totalcost basis) were Tk. 36,745, Tk. 25,516 and Tk. 161,037/ha, respectively. Among the three varieties,the highest BCR was obtained from hybrid rice (2.10) followed by Boro rice (1.66) and the lowest BCRfound in T.aman rice (1.59). Therefore, it can be concluded that the seed production programme ofhybrid rice is more profitable than that of open pollinated varieties.The Contract Seed Growers generally produce rice seed following the production packages assuggested by SCA under the direct supervision of BADC and other seed producing agencies. That iswhy, the seed quality of Contract Seed Growers is far better than that of non-contract growers.42

Therefore, theprofitability of rice seed production of Contract Growers is generally higher compared to non-contractgrowers.4.1.36 Production function of Boro rice seed produced by BADC contract growers in RajshahiThe Cobb-Douglas Production Function models were used to determine the input use efficiency of theseed growing farmers. The regression coefficients were estimated under the present study and it isobserved that the application of TSP, MP and gypsum was significantly affecting the production ofBoro rice (Table 4.1.36). On the other hand, the application of herbicide had a significantly negativeimpact on production. It can be noted that compost use had no significant effect on the yield of Bororice seed. This is possibly because; this variable under Bangladesh context appears in qualitative termsince farmers use compost at suboptimal dosages, and because of the lower proportion of the inherentplant nutrient content of compost compared to fertilizers, it can not make any substantial impact onproduction of seed yield of Boro rice.43
