For this study, 30 farmers who farm organically and 30 farmers who farm conventionally were chosen randomly. Data were gathered using a semi-structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and statistical packages. Tk. 112642.00 and Tk. 121773.00 were estimated per acre costs for tomato production in organic and conventional farms, respectively. Tk. 230123.00 and Tk. 231120.00 were the gross returns per acre from tomato production in organic and conventional farms, respectively. Although conventional tomato farms had higher costs and revenue per acre than organic farms, organic tomato farming had a higher Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR). According to the BCR, organic tomato farming is more profitable than conventional tomato farming. The study also identified some constraints that farmers faced in organic and conventional tomato farming, primarily related to production and marketing. The strength of organic tomato producers was their income and employment opportunities. The main threats are a high incidence of disease and price fluctuations in the market. It is suggested that organic tomato farming be practiced.","PeriodicalId":14096,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food, agriculture and environment","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82212555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this experiment, a total of 45 respondents were randomly selected from three unions (Gazir Bhita, Kaichapur and Narail) of Haluaghat Upazila in Mymensingh district where 15 respondents from each unionwere randomly chosen. The data were collected through personal interviewing with pre-tested questionnaires. The study revealed that of the farmers were found either primary (46.7%) or below SSC (35.6%) levelof education.Majority of them were engaged in agricultural operation (57.8%) and others wereinvolved in service andbusiness. The farmers mainly depend on green grasses (33.3%) and tree leaves (31.1%) to feed their goats. Wheat bran was also given by 35.6% farmers for economic rearing of goats in the experimentalareas. The majordiseases of goatsin the studied areas were found skin disease(73.3%) and PPR (26.7%), respectively.The annual total cost of production pergoat was2154.00BDT, while gross return and net return from goatrearing per household were 4296.00BDT and 2142.00BDT, respectively. Annual food purchasing capacity changes from 50 to 55 percent. The social statusof the farmer’s family increases where educational status, employment for men, employment for women, social dignity andsocial acceptance were increased by35, 24, 58, 26 and 23% after 12 months through goat rearing in the selectedareas. The results clearly indicatethat goat rearing in Haluaghat upazila was very much profitable.

This study intends to estimate the impact of farm diversification on income and expenditure of smallholder farm households. A total sample of 100 farmers were randomly selected from the three villages namely South Panapukur, Gaghottari and Betgari under Gangachara upazila of Rangpur district in Bangladesh. Both tabular and quantitative analyses were done to achieve the major objectives of the study. The findings show that the socioeconomic characteristics, cropping pattern, land type, soil type of Gangachara upazila are suitable for farm diversification. From 100 farmers about 55 percent farmers practiced 11-16 numbers of crops, vegetables, livestock and fish. Smallholder farm households were also involved in both farm and non-farm activities which were 71 percent of farm households. Average annual income from farm and non-farm activities were Tk. 75150.00 and Tk. 23350.00 respectively. Average annual expenditure on farm and non-farm practices was Tk. 43000.00 and Tk. 12000.00, respectively. In the present findings, the average annual expenditure on food and non-food items was Tk. 41000.00 per family. The Poisson regression was run to predict the determinants of farm diversification in the last 12 months where soil type, farm size and employment member of family were statistically significant at one percent level of significance and education was statistically significant at five percent level of significance. The Multiple regressions were done to estimate the impact of farm diversification on income and expenditure where farm size and combination of farm and non-farm practices were statistically significant at one percent probability level. But all the explanatory variables included in the model were not statistically significant as were generally expected. Farmers faced different problems and constraints in diversifying farm. In spite of the entire problems, this study has thrown light on some important issues regarding farm diversification of the study areas. Overall results indicate that rather than farm diversifications, diversification of income from farm to non-farm sources positively and significantly affect the household income and expenditure.","PeriodicalId":14096,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food, agriculture and environment","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88856647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
