      abstract = {The study was conducted in Keranigonj upazilla under Dhaka  district from the month of April to May in 2014  to
determine the cost and return of some important  vegetables namely bottle gourd, brinjal and cucumber. Data  were
collected from 20 bottle gourd farmers, 30 brinjal  farmers and 20 cucumber farmers by using purposive  sampling
method. The averages total cost per hectare were  calculated at Tk. 4,12,713, Tk. 2,69,627 and Tk.2,56,258  for bottle
gourd, brinjal and cucumber production.Net  return per hectare was the highest for brinjal (Tk.  7,32,811) and the
lowest for bottle gourd (Tk.  5,79,431).The benefit cost ratios (BCR) considering  variable cost were 2.83, 4.88 and
4.57 for bottle gourd,  brinjal and cucumber respectively. The highest BCR was for  brinjal (3.72) and the lowest for
bottle gourd (2.40) on  the basis of total cost. Lack of capital, low price of  vegetables, high price of input, price
fluctuation,  disease, unavailability of input and lack of storage  facilities were the major problems of farmers.},
