Abstract

The study was conducted at the districts namely Rangpur, Comilla, Tangail, and Narshingdi during 2003 for estimating the profitability of exportable vegetables production and identifying the factors influencing their production. The vegetables were French bean (FB), yard long bean (YLB) and bitter gourd MG). In total, 224 purposively selected vegetable farmers were interviewed for collecting. The study revealed that the commercial production of above vegetables was profitable both on cash cost and full cost basis. Per acre net returns for FB, YLB and BG were Tk. 8,107, Tk. 13,117 and Tk. 22,344 on full cost respectively. The estimated BCR for FB, YLB and BG were 1.22, 1.36, and 1.63 on full cost respectively. The output elasticity of land preparation, seed, manure & fertilizer, irrigation, and farm size were positive and significant implying that vegetable production could be increased through balanced application of inputs.
