AbstractThe objective of this study is to analyse efficiency in resource use by cooperative producers with specialization in vegetable production and estimate the costs and return to such enterprises under cooperative conditions. Marginal physical product (MPP), marginal value product (MVP), and marginal factor costs (MFC) in addition to budgetary analysis were utilised to analyse the primary data collected through the questionnaire. The enterprise efficiency level is 0.06, the benefit-cost ratio is 1.06 while the expense structure ratio 0.37. The MVP results showed that all the resources used in production are under-utilized suggesting inefficiency of resource use by the cooperative producers. The result can be of advantage to producers if an appropriate understanding of cooperative principles is put into perspective in production-related decisions. Improvement of the level of utilization of input resources should be of interest to the government and related stakeholders.

The study was designed to examine the low lying inland fish farming practices of Karimganj upazila under Kishoreganj districts. Field level data were collected through direct interview using semi-structured questionnaire. Eighty sample farmers were selected purposively from the study areas. Six types of farming practices were identified in the study area among which only two types were prominent i.e., pond fish farming and Beel fish farming. Tabular, statistical and mathematical analyses were done to achieve the major objectives. The benefit cost ratio in Beel fish farming was 2.86 and in case of pond fish farming it was 1.95. Multiple regression model was used to explain the variation of gross return of pond and Beel fish farming and it was found that coefficients of human labour, feed, cowdung and manure had significant impact on gross return, whereas coefficients of feed, harvesting and making sanctuary had significant impact on gross return of Beel fish farming. Resource use efficiency was calculated by the ratio of marginal value product and marginal factor cost. Finally, the study identified some important problems of low lying inland fish farming and suggested probable solutions relating to the problems.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v23i1-2.16619Progress.
