This study suggests that marketed surplus as percentage of total production was found highest in potato (64 per cent) followed by lentil (59.5 per cent), Boro paddy (57.5 per cent), mustard (52.7 per cent), Aman paddy (48 per cent), Aus paddy (38 per cent) and wheat (14 per cent). Small farmers were the large suppliers of agricultural crops during harvest time and sell out crops to meet up their cash obligation when the prices remain low. On the other hand, they purchase the same crop at off-season to meet up their consumption requirement and at that time prices remain high. So, small farmers were worse off by this seasonal sales pattern and price variation. Large farmers received the highest prices prevailed in the market relatively with strong bargaining capacity with the market intermediaries and their pre-harvest time sales is higher than other size group of farms. This study suggested that among different explanatory variables, farmers were very much price sensitive irrespective of their farm sizes. Price elasticity of marketable surplus as estimated for Aman paddy, Boro paddy, wheat, potato and mustard appeared 1.89, 2.7, 1.23, 2.46 and 1.40, i.e. prices significantly influenced marketable surpluses of these crops. In general, marketable surpluses of crops reflect farmers well-being. So, price policy influencing output prices have important role in increasing marketable and marketed quantities. This study suggested some policy options based on research findings which should help the policy markers to adopt appropriate measures to increase marketed surplus in Bangladesh agriculture leading to a gradually commercialised agriculture.","PeriodicalId":259792,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Agricultural Economics","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122261020","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}

This study is entirely based on secondary data and nominal prices of all inputs as well as output of HYV Boro overtime have been converted into real price using Consumer Price Index (CPI). The findings showed that out of total cost, the share of labour cost decreased over time while the share non-labour cost increased. Again, the share of cash cost compared to non-cash cost increased over time. The negative growth of labour cost and positive growth of non-labour cost over time indicate the expansion of capital intensive and labour saving technology in Bangladesh agriculture in recent years. Further, the positive growth of cash cost and negative growth of non-cash cost imply the transformation of traditional agriculture into a modern one in Bangladesh. Analysis of growth rates of input and output prices in real terms showed that labour wage increased slightly during the study period while fertilizer price, as well as irrigation cost decreased. Further, in real terms, the price of Boro paddy significantly declined over the years. The overall analyses of this study showed that although both total cost and gross return decreased over time the rate of decrease in gross return was higher than that of total cost during the whole period which resulted in decreased profitability of the farmers over time. The declining farmers' profitability from production of the main rice crop (HYV Boro) in recent years is likely to have had adverse effect on farmers' incentive to produce rice which has serious implication on the national policy of attaining or maintaining food grain self-sufficiency in Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":259792,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Agricultural Economics","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131851051","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}

The findings showed that average area of Boro rice and wheat increased during the whole period of study. However, during the period after full-implementation of privatization policies the areas under Aus, wheat as well as total food grains decreased. Further, it was found that except Aus, average production of all types of food grains increased and except wheat, average yield of all types of food grains also increased during the same period. The analysis showed that in the cases of Aus and Boro rice as well as total food grains, change in mean area; and in the cases of Aman rice and wheat changes in mean yield were the main sources of change in mean production in Bangladesh. It was also found that Boro rice appeared to be the highest and Aus rice appeared to be the lowest contributors in increasing mean production of total food grains. Finally, some policy conclusions are drawn with respect to improvement of production levels of major food grains.","PeriodicalId":259792,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Agricultural Economics","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125341603","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}

Primary data were collected by survey method wherein various market intermediaries were interviewed from selected districts for eliciting information at various stages of marine fish marketing. The study revealed that marketing margin as well as marketing profit both were relatively higher in consumer market followed by primary and secondary markets where beparies and aratdars were involved. Results indicate that high priced fish demanded high marketing cost resulting higher marketing margin and profit compared to low priced fish. In the case of dry fish marketing, irrespective of species of fish marketed, marketing margin and profit were almost doubled compared to frozen fish marketing. Like frozen fish, high valued dry fish also claimed higher marketing cost leaving higher marketing margin as well as marketing profit for intermediaries. In export marketing, both for frozen and dried fish, marketing profit depends mainly on demand for exportable fish in the world market.","PeriodicalId":259792,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Agricultural Economics","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128223267","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}

This is because determining the efficiency status of farmers are very important for policy purposes. Efficiency also is a very important factor of productivity growth. In an economy where resources are scarce and opportunities for new technologies are lacking, inefficiency studies will be able to show that it is possible to raise productivity by improving efficiency without the resource base or developing new technology. Estimates on the extent of inefficiency can help decide whether to improve efficiency or to develop new technologies to raise agricultural productivity. In this study, a Cobb-Douglas production function was employed to beekeeping data. Using the method of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) procedure, we derived the stochastic frontier production function. The technical efficiency index computed shows a mean efficiency ratio of 0.625 implying that substantial inefficiency exists among the Malaysian beekeepers in the sample under study. Our results indicate that there are great potentials for the beekeepers to further increase output using the available inputs and technology.","PeriodicalId":259792,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Agricultural Economics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115353237","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}
