      abstract = {The study was undertaken to examine the profitability of  producers, margin of traders and problems encountered by  exporters of fresh vegetables. In the export marketing  chain the vegetables farmer sold three fourth of vegetables  to the Bepari/ Selected agents. Vegetable producers  received average profit of Tk. 32 by spending Tk. 100 as  production cost. The agents received Tk. 12 to 13 by  investing Tk. 100 within very short period of time. The  study reveals that it is more profitable to export  vegetables to Asian countries compared to Middle East  countries. The scarcity of cargo space, high cost of  airfreight, plane delay and lengthy custom procedure, low  quality of packaging, poor quality of vegetables,  seasonality of production and high domestic prices, lack of  domestic transportation, lack of insufficient storage  management, inadequate market information and off load were  the major problems faced by vegetable exporters.},
