Abstract

The study was designed to investigate the impact of flower cultivation on farmers’ livelihood in Jhenaidah district of Bangladesh. For this purpose, primary data were collected from 115 flower cultivators and 45 controls from February to March, 2017. Descriptive statistics, step wise regression and Constraints Facing Index (CFI) were used for analysing data. Result shows that most of the farmers (76.5%) gained medium livelihood improvement through flower cultivation, while 13.9 percent had high impact of flower cultivation on their livelihood. Among the entire variables- attitude towards flower cultivation alone contribute 39.5 percent of the variation of the impact. The Majority (73.9%) of the flower farmers had medium constraints in flower cultivation. As per Constraint Faced Index (CFI) high labour wages positioned the first place as the constraints of flower cultivation. But the composite impact of flower cultivation on farmers’ livelihood was moderate. Respective authorities like DAE, NGOs should implement and popularize flower cultivation project on a massive scale for improving farmers’ livelihood.
孟加拉国一些选定地区花卉种植对农民生计的影响
该研究旨在调查花卉种植对孟加拉国吉纳伊达地区农民生计的影响。为此,在2017年2 - 3月期间收集了115名花卉栽培者和45名对照者的初步数据。采用描述性统计、逐步回归和面向约束指数(CFI)对数据进行分析。结果表明,大部分农户(76.5%)通过养花获得了中等程度的生计改善,13.9%的农户通过养花获得了较高的生计影响。在所有变量中,仅对养花的态度就贡献了39.5%的影响变化。绝大多数(73.9%)花农在花卉种植中存在中度约束。根据约束面指数(CFI),高劳动力工资是花卉种植的首要制约因素。花卉种植对农户生计的综合影响较为温和。农业部、非政府组织等有关部门应大规模实施和推广花卉种植项目,以改善农民的生活。
