ADOPTION AND PROFITABILITY OF Binadhan-16 IN SOME SELECTED AREAS OF BANGLADESH

Abstract

The study was conducted in three Binadhan-16 growing areas of Bangladesh, namely Mymensingh, Netrokona and Rangpur districts to find out the determinants of adoption of Binadhan-16 rice variety at the farm level and to estimate the costs and return of Binadhan-16 cultivation in the study areas. This study was based on primary data which were collected from 180 farmers, 60 from each district where 30 was adopter and 30 was non-adopter of Binadhan-16 growers through face to face interview with the help of a pre-designed interview schedule. The result of logit regression model showed that farm size, yield, seed, training and extension contact had positive significant effect; and education, cultivation duration were found as negatively significant variables in explaining the variation in Binadhan-16 adoption. The study also found that total variable cost of Binadhan-16 cultivation was Tk. 44346 per hectare.The average net return per hectare was Tk. 76698. The average Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) was 2.16. Regarding major problems of the variety cultivation, 15% mentioned about high labour cost which ranked top followed by quality seed in timely manner (14%). More emphasis should be given on farm size, seed, yield, and training programme for the expansion of the variety.
