Title: Productivity and profitability of mandarin cultivation in selected areas of Bangladesh
Abstract: The study was conducted in three districts namely Panchagarh, Bandarban and Moulovibazar to know the production technology of mandarin cultivation and to estimate profitability and identify the constraints of mandarin cultivation. A total of 99 farmers taking 33 from each district were selected randomly. Data were collected through a pre-tested schedule during January-March, 2016. Cost and return analysis revealed that mandarin cultivation was profitable in the study areas. The highest cost was estimated Tk. 215293/ha in 16-20th year garden and lowest cost Tk. 119993/ha in 2-4th year garden. Highest yield was found 16020 kg/ha at 11-15th year garden followed by 13800 kg/ha at 16-20th year garden and lowest yield 11100 kg/ha at 5-10th year garden. The highest gross return was found in Tk. 640800/ha at 11-15th year garden and lowest return was Tk. 444000 at 5-10th year garden. The highest amount of net return was found in the Tk. 435859/ha at 11-15th year garden and lowest return was Tk. 235286 in 5-10th year garden. The benefit cost ratio at 12% rate of interest was 1.68, NPV Tk. 920401 and IRR 30%. Sensitivity analysis implied that mandarin cultivation is profitable. Scarcity of irrigation in hill areas, acute problem of insect/pest infestation, lack of improved production technology, poor quality and scarcity of seedlings/saplings, lack of capital for initial investment and low yield of different varieties were found major constraints for mandarin cultivation in the study areas.
Key Words: Mandarin, profitability, Socio-economic status, Constraints and Recommendation
