Abstract
The overall objective of the study was to analyze the profitability of potato cultivation in some selected areas of Munshiganj district. For this study, 100 respondents with different income groups were selected as sample size purposively. Data were collected through farm survey by using a suitable pre-tested questionnaire in February-March, 2018. The study found that potato production was lucrative. Total cost of potato growing was BDT Tk. 144584.41 and the gross return amount was BDT Tk. 254000.00 per hectare. The net return from potato production was BDT Tk. 109415.49 per hectare. Undiscounted Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) was found at 1.78 and 1.75. Potato is not an outstanding source of energy yet a good source of high quality protein. Potato is a rich source of vitamin C; it is rich in important minerals. These were grouped into economic and technical, marketing and storage problems. Though farmers were facing some acute problems such as low market prices of potato and high input prices, it would not hinder the expansion of potato production due to its huge demand.
Key Words: Potato, Profitability, Production, Benefit Cost Ratio and Problems.
