PROFITABILITY AND RESOURCE USE EFFICIENCY OF MUSTARD PRODUCTION IN SIRAJGANJ DISTRICT, BANGLADESH

Abstract

The study was conducted in Sirajganj district of Bangladesh to determine the profitability and resource use efficiency of mustard production. Both descriptive statistics and functional analysis was done to achieve the objectives of the study. The findings of the study suggested that the total cost of mustard production was Tk. 51105.8 per hectare of which 52.6% was variable cost. Net return and BeR was found to be Tk. 34556.9 per hectare and 1.6? respectively. Urea and TSP had positive and significant effect on the yield of mustard. Farmers in the study area use different input inefficiently. Farmers in the study area also face some constraints like high price of inputs, non-availability of quality seed, low price of mustard etc. regarding mustard production. Financial support and crop management training are needed to farmer to increase the production of mustard in the study area.
