Title: Economics of sugarcane cultivation in some selected char lands of Bangladesh
Abstract
The study was undertaken to examine the profitability of sugarcane cultivation in char areas of Gaibandha and Kurigram districts of Bangladesh. Main objectives of the study were to explore socio-economic condition, profitability of sugarcane cultivation in char lands, factors affecting sugarcane cultivation and constraints of sugarcane cultivation in char areas. Data were randomly collected from 60 farmers taking 30 farmers from each district. A pre-tested interview schedule was used for collect data. Both descriptive and functional analyses were used in this study. Per hectare cost of sugarcane cultivation in char areas were Tk. 113976.5 which was higher in Gaibandha districts (Tk.121113) followed by Kurigram district (Tk.106840). Average yield of sugarcane in two districts were 62.04 t ha-1. Per hectare net return was Tk. 62252 in the study area. Average BCR over variable cost of two districts was 1.81 which was higher in Gaibandha district 2.06 followed by Kurigram district 1.53. Human labor, Urea, TSP and irrigation were positively significant but organic fertilizer was negatively significant in the study areas. Irrigation problem, lack of clean seed, lack of adequate crusher machine, infestation of disease and pests, low price of sugarcane, lack of transportation facility and lack of money are the major constraints of char sugarcane farmers.
