Title: Profitability and productivity of rice production in selected coastal area of Satkhira district in Bangladesh
Abstract: The present study was conducted to assess the profitability, constraints and factors affecting rice production in coastal area of Shamnagar upazila, Satkhaira district, Bangladesh by using stratified random sampling method. Simple statistical technique as well as Cobb-Douglas production function was used to achieve the objectives of the study. The study found that the small farmers (Tk. 10292.89) got higher net returns than the medium (Tk. 6894.39) and large (Tk. 4798.70) farmers per hectare, respectively. The undiscounted BCR was 1.38, 1.23 and 1.15 for small, medium and large farmers respectively. It is found that the coefficient of seed, fertilizer, power tiller, irrigation cost and human labor have significantly impact on gross return. Lack of saline tolerable good quality seeds, high price of inputs, low price of outputs and natural calamity were the major problems for rice farming in the study area though rice farming was a profitable enterprise.
Key Words: Rice, Profitability, Productivity and Coastal area
