PROFITABILITY AND YIELD GAP ANALYSIS OF Binadhan-14 IN SOME SELECTED AREAS OF BANGLADESH

Abstract

The aim of this study was to estimate the profitability and yield gap of Binadhan-14. The study was conducted in Mymensingh, Jamalpur, Rangpur and Sunamganj districts of Bangladesh. Data were collected using a simple random sampling technique from 200 Binadhan-14 cultivating farmers. Data were collected from October-November, 2021. Descriptive statistics as well as Stochastic Frontier model were used to achieve the objectives. The average actual farmer’s yield of Binadhan-14 was 5.11 t ha-1. BCR was estimated at 1.53 implying that the Binadhan-14 cultivation at farm level was profitable. The estimated average yield gap-I was 0.43 t ha-1 (6.95 %.) and average yield gap-II was 0.71 t ha-1 (12.10 %.). The average yield gap was 1.14 t ha-1 (19.05%). The regression coefficients for power tiller, human labor, fertilizers, irrigation, wedding, insecticides and seed under all areas were positive and significant at 1%, 5% and 10% level. Farmers' characteristics like age, farming experience and agricultural training found negatively related to their yield gap of the Binadhan-14. The government should realize that yield gap exists in rice crops of Bangladesh and, therefore, explore the scope to increase production as well as productivity of rice by narrowing the yield gap and thereby ensure food security.
