Item MANGO PRODUCTION IN CHAPAINAWABGANJ DISTRICT: A CASE STUDY OF SHIBGANJ UPAZILA(DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS, 2021) UDDIN, JOSIMA study was conducted to identify the status of mango production, mango varieties produced, and to explore their relationship with some selected characteristics. Data were collected from randomly selected 120 mango growers from six selected villages of Shibganj upazila under Chapainawabganj district through personal interview during March to August, 2022. Data were collected on age, education, family size, farm size, land used in mango production, annual income, experience and knowledge on mango production, varieties and number of mango trees and so on. Estimated three dependent variables on some selected characteristics of mango production. In the study, about three fourths (79.20 %) and more than the same (70.80 %) of the respondents had high mango production and very high income respectively. Majority (74.2 %) of respondents involved in mango production had high (>10 ton) production and medium production percentage was also so sound with 13.3% of respondents (7-10 ton). So, it may be concluded that, the study area bears a better mango production sign. For mango production, highest proportion (45%) of respondents had moderately large sized (1.01-2.80 ha) of land which were almost entire (1.01-3.00 ha) of the farm size though mango cultivated land in homestead area were negligible and had no effect on total production. The study indicated that large farm size, land use in mango production, annual income, and knowledge in mango production had major determents’ of annual mango production and annual income from mango production individually. Although respondents certified that Chapainawabganj district is profitable in respect of mango production but further study should be taken place with other variables and characteristics that related to farmers in mango production in different upazila of Chapainawabganj district.
