Background: Mango is an important commercially grown fruit crop and it is very popular due to its wide range of adaptability and high nutritive value. The present study was conducted in Lucknow district of Uttar Pradesh to know the economics of mango production, marketing system and constraints faced by growers in production and marketing.Methods: The study was based on primary data collected from 200 respondents with the help of personal interview using a pre-tested questionnaire, semi-structured interview schedule and open discussion method. Estimate the cost and return of mango cultivation by using simple cost and return equation. The marketing system of mango involved market channels, margin, cost, price spread, producer share in consumer’s rupee and marketing efficiency was worked out by tabular analysis. The Garrett’s ranking technique was adopted to rank the constraints faced by the growers in production and marketing of mango.Result: The total cost of mango cultivation was found Rs.23450.67/ha. Out of which, the variable cost was constituted Rs.18316.39/ha (78.11%) and fixed cost was Rs.5134.28/ha (21.89%). The net return over the cost of cultivation was found to be highest as Rs. 62811.59/ha at the 4th growing stage of orchard. It was observed that net price received by growers, per cent share in consumer’s rupees and market efficiency was highest in channel-III followed by channel-II and III, where the numbers of marketing intermediaries were involved lesser. The market margin, cost and price spread were highest in channel-I followed by Channel-II and III. The channel-III was found to be most efficient and profitable for farmers in the study area. Among the production and marketing constraints faced by mango growers, the shattering of flowers and premature fruit drop were cited as the most serious constraints. While alternate and irregular bearing creates glut with excess production in one year and results in low production in the next year was reported as second major constraint. Usually, contractors were not paying money to the orchard owner in the lump sum amount and at the appropriate time. Thus, the second major constraint was delayed and irregular payments to producers.

The output from dairy sector has increased at more than 4.0 % per annum since 2010-11. The changing economic scenario an entrepreneur has to be very alert and should always keep an eye on the cost and returns of the scarce resources of an entrepreneur in order to keep himself profitable. Dairying in our country dominated by the small holders. Now the producers are scaling up their capacity by incorporating newer technology. One hundred and sixty milk pourer farmers were selected randomly using probability proportional to size (PPS) from the list of producers who were supplying milk to organized dairy (cooperative or private) purely and exclusively from eight village level milk chilling units of Lucknow and Hardoi district purposively selected from Lucknow region. Average variable cost varies from 88.72 small, 88.95 medium, and 92.38 large farmers and rest 11.28, 11.05 and 7.62 were the fixed cost for small medium and large category farmers respectively. The cost of milk production was higher for Rs 18.02, Rs 16.30 and Rs 15.85 per liter for small medium and large farmers respectively. The average milk selling price was found to be almost at par for small Rs 27.77, Rs. 27.31 and Rs. 27.11 for small, medium and large category farmers. Whereas, the average income generated by investing one rupee was found lowest for small Rs. 1.56 followed by medium Rs.1.71 and large Rs. 1.75 farmers respectively. However, the farmers have generated average annual income of Rs 70334.21, Rs. 128671.1 and Rs.230510.8 by small medium and large category farmers respectively.

This study aimed to determine the cost, return, and profitability of broiler production in some selected areas of Mymensingh district. It was mainly based on primary data which were collected through face to face interview from the respondents of broiler production during the month of December, 2011. Selected samples consisted of 30 broiler farm owners selected by using purposive sampling technique. For the analysis of data, tabular and production function techniques were used. This study estimated the average cost of raising broiler to be Tk. 8,35,910.65 per farm per year. It was found that the variable cost per farm per year stood at Tk. 8,23,735.93 which accounted for 98.54 percent of total cost. The total fixed cost per farm per year accounted to Tk. 14,041.66. It is evident from the study that the gross return per farm per year stood at Tk. 10,78,022.39. The net return per farm per year was calculated at Tk. 2,42,111.47. The findings revealed that broiler production was a profitable enterprise. Cobb-Douglas production function was also applied to explore the specific effect of the factors on broiler production. It was observed that most of the included variables had significant impact on broiler production. Out of six variables included in the regression, four variables (i.e., feed cost, cost of day-old chick, labour cost and litter cost) had significant positive impact on return. This study also identified some problems in the production of broiler in the study area. Finally, based on the findings of the study, some recommendations were made for the development of broiler production in Bangladesh.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v23i1-2.16568Progress.

The Cost

The article attempts to adapt the BEP analysis methodology to assess the viability of agricultural machinery. It was assumed to treat the machine depreciation cost as a fixed cost, but only to the rational use threshold. Above this threshold, it was considered that depreciation should be calculated using the active method and treated as a variable cost. In this case it’s a technical potential and its wear becomes a bottleneck. In addition, it was considered reasonable to take into account the cost of interest on the capital employed, which would be a fixed cost. So far research on the efficiency of machinery utilization has focused on the quantitative analysis of their use, and the financial aspects are ignored. The proposed use of the BEP methodology allows not only quantitative and qualitative yield thresholds for the analyzed machine, but also the calculation of the limit values of the variable component costs (fuel prices, repairs) and fixed costs (garage, maintenance, interest rates).

The study was conducted to know the existing turkey production system, supply chain mapping, and identifying the prospects and problems of turkey rearing in some selected areas of Bangladesh during October 2019 to December 2019. A total of 100 turkey raisers were surveyed following convenience method of sampling technique. The primary data were collected, analyzed accordingly and tabular presentation method was applied with the help of simple descriptive statistical measures e.g. frequency distributions, percentage, sum and means to illustrating the results. Profitability analysis was done on the basis of variable cost, fixed cost, return by using arithmetic means and percentages. The study revealed that 87 male and 13 female respondents were surveyed, of them cent percent found educated. About 56% turkey keeper’s main occupation was business, 27% service and 12% in farming while 88.57% involved with farming as secondary sources of income. Average landholding for homestead, cultivable and non-cultivable was 24.40, 129.71 and 29.47 decimal, respectively. About 59% farms started for commercial purpose, 32% for non-commercial purpose and 9% for both. About 60% respondents kept less than 50 turkeys and only 2% kept 501-1000 turkeys. Among the surveyed farms55% stopped their operation and 45% farms found running their business. Among the running farms cent percent were small-scale group. The average feed intake was 192.13 grams per day per bird at 20 weeks of age. Turkey laid on an average 139 eggs a year irrespective of variety and for hatching poults, the fertility and hatchability rate found between 65 to 100% and 50 to 90%, respectively. About 28% farmers experienced the deaths of turkey because of Cold, Pox, Ranikhet, Bird flu and unknown cases and 69.47% farmers took veterinary advice from Upazila Livestock Hospital and rest from other sources. Farmers to consumers were the most common and widely used marketing channel for egg, chick and adult turkey. The market intermediaries of turkey farm carried out different marketing functions e.g. buying and selling, pricing, transportation, sorting, distribution and market information. The average net return and benefit-cost ratio was BDT 127838.04 and 1.38, respectively for 50 turkeys per year. In the study, turkey rearing found some comparative benefit over chicken and ducks e.g. higher weight gain, forage eater, lower diseases rate and suitability for the country. The main problem of turkey rearing identified as market instability, lack of quality turkey feed, higher feed price, lack of proper marketing facility and training on turkey farming. In conclusion, the small-scale turkey farming could be a viable source of income for the rural people of Bangladesh after taking some remedial steps by the Government of Bangladesh for the aforesaid hindrances faced by the turkey farmers.

Abstract Babar Island is corn production center in District of Babar Islands. Maize is the dominant food commodities and a major food source for the community. Corn is the dominant crop commodity in Barbar Island and become staple food for the community. The farming are traditional and subsystems to meet farmers household needs and the excess (if any) will be sold but in very limited quantities. However the sales purpose is not commercial but just to meet the households needs that can not be substituted by other goods and only by few farmers if necessary. The farming is carried out on slash and burn dry land by polyculture cropping pattern that is combination of annual and perrenial crops. This study aimed to examine the feasibility and profitability of corn farming in Barbar island, using survey methods with stratified random sampling technique. The results showed that the cost of corn production in Barbar Island, district of Barbar Islands, South West Maluku Regency is consisted of fixed cost and variable cost. The fixed cost components is including : equipment depreciation costs and land rent costs. The variable costs includes : inputs costs (seeds, fertilizers, chemical) and labor costs. Variable costs is the largest cost component for corn farming. Corn farming is profitable and viable, as indicated by the average income Rp.2.647.396 compared to the average cost incurred by farmers Rp.2.520.934 and BC ratio of 1.05. This means that the production costs of Rp.2.520.934 will generate benefit 1.05 times of the cost.
