The study was undertaken to compare the relative profitability of dairy farming under Field Fertility Clinic (FFC) member and non-members. A total of 130 samples were selected randomly of which 100 were members and 30 were non-members. Total cost of raising dairy cow was estimated at Tk. 142.04 and Tk. 158.21/day for member and non-member farmers. Feed cost constituted about 71.64 per cent and 69.94 per cent of total cost for member and non-member farmers respectively. Concentrate occupied the largest share out of total feed cost. In case of member, net return per day per cow was Tk. 96.02 while in the case of non-member it was Tk. 65.94. Return from per dairy cow of the members was higher by Tk. 30.08 than the non-members. The average milk yield was 6.06 liters and 5.81 liters respectively for member and non-member farmers. Cobb-Douglas production function analysis was done to determine the effects of variables inputs such as concentrate feed, paddy straw, green grass, human labour, veterinary cost and FFC intervention on milk yield. The finding showed that all of the selected variables except paddy straw had significant impact on milk yield.

Pineapple Honey is one of the superior commodity of Pemalang Regency, Central Java. However, production of honey pineapple in 2013- 2015 was occurred fluctuations. The purpose of this research is to know the factors that affect production and to know the level of elasticity in each honey pineapple farming input in the Beluk Village. The sampling of locations was carried out purposively with the consideration that beluk village was the centre of honey pineapple production. The number of samples was 64 farmers who were taken simple random. Cobb-Douglas production function analysis technique was used to determine the factors affecting the production and elasticity of each of the honey pineapple farming inputs. The results of the analysis showed that the factors affecting the production of honey pineapple are the number of plants, manure, and harvest season. In variables that affect production is obtained only variable manure has negative value. It can be occurred as effect of the application of immature manure. So, we suggest that the use of manure that is ripe and of good quality will have a positive effect on the growth and production of honey pineapple.

This study aims to determine the effect of land and capital production factors on the production of juwita hybrid cayenne varieties, and whether rational or not the use of land and capital production factors in the farming of juwita hybrid cayenne varieties in the Central Lombok regency. The research is carried out in Sintung, Belege and Bilebante Villages in Pringgarata Subdistrict, Central Lombok Regency, which have been selected using the purposive sampling technique, on the grounds that these villages have the highest productivity of juwita hybrid cayenne varieties compared to other villages. Furthermore respondents numbered 30 people who are determined by using proportional random sampling technique. Data are analyzed by using the Cobb-Douglas production function analysis which is changed to Logarithm Multiple Linear Regression. The results show that the area of land and capital jointly have a significant effect on the production of Juwita hybrid cayenne varieties cultivated by farmers in Central Lombok regency with an F-count of 255,690 and Sig. 0.05. This condition emerges because the added capital in the cultivation of Juwita hybrid cayenne varieties farming is not well targeted. Both land and capital are partially rational, and their production elasticities are between 0- 1 and are in production area II (stage II).

The study was conducted to compare the profitability of fish farming under NGO support and individual management and to evaluate the overall impact of NGO intervention on farmers’ income. A total of 120 farmers (60 for own management and 60 for NGO support) were selected following random sampling technique for data collection from both Mymensingh and Tangail District. The data were collected through direct interview from the selected fish farmers. Data were analyzed with a combination of tabular and functional analysis. The BCR was 1.9 for own management and 2.4 for NGO supported pond fish farming which shows that the fish farming is more profitable under NGO support. The Ravallion test results showed that the income was increased by the amount of Tk. 32500 due to NGO’s intervention. Cobb-Douglas production function analysis was done to determine the effects of variables on pond fish production. Out of six variables, three variables in case of own management and four variables in case of NGO support had significant impact on per acre output of fish production. The results of the efficiency computation indicated that labour, feed and lime and medicine were being underutilized and fingerlings and irrigation were being over utilized for own managed pond. Under NGO supported pond, labour, fingerlings and lime and medicine were being underutilized and feed and irrigation were being over utilized.

The present study attempted to determine the contract growers’ costs and returns of the open pollinated tomato seed production and resource use efficiency under different categories of farmers in some selected areas of greater Rangpur district. In total 60 open pollinated tomato seed contract growers were purposively selected in consultation with BADC personnel at the categories of marginal, small and medium farmers. Total cost, gross margin, gross return, net return and benefit cost ratio (undiscounted) were estimated for financial analysis. The results revealed that per hectare total cost, gross return and net return of open pollinated tomato seed production were estimated at Tk 220313, 384000 and 163687, respectively. Benefit cost ratios came out to be 1.64, 1.74 and 1.83 for marginal, small and medium farmers’, respectively which was found a bit higher for the medium open pollinated tomato seed contract growers. The Cobb-Douglas production function model was used to estimate the values of coefficient and related statistics of production function. The coefficient of human labour cost, cost of using seed, organic manure cost, fertilizer cost and irrigation charges were statistically significant. Returns to scale was found to be 1.19 and that of the value of R2 was 0.79. The marginal productivity analysis indicated that the contract growers in the study areas have failed to show their efficiency in using the resources. It was evident that timely and efficient uses of different inputs are most important to increase production and profitability of the open pollinated tomato seed contract growers.

The present study was undertaken to investigate and compare the socio-economic characteristics and relative profitability of local breed and cross breed dairy cow rearing farmers. The focus of the present study was to quantify the costs and returns and to explore the interrelationship of factors affecting yield, cost and net return for the local and cross breed cows and also compare these with each other. On an average, local and cross breed dairy cow owners possessed 4.93 and 4.76 animals per household respectively. Per day total costs of rearing per local and cross breed cow were Tk.32.85 and Tk.71.23 respectively. Feed cost constituted about 58 percent of total cost for local breed cows while it was 62 percent for cross breed cows. Paddy cost occupied the largest share out of total feed cost in local breed cows. The average milk yield per day per cow was 1.89 litres and 7.68 litres for local breed and cross breed dairy cows respectively while the total return per day per cow was estimated at Tk.58.27 and Tk.224.76 for the same and the net returns per day per cow were Tk.25.42 and Tk.153.53. The study revealed that green grass, concentrate feed, labour cost and capital cost have significantly positive impact on milk yield for cross breed cows but all the inputs other than labour cost and capital cost have positive impact on milk yield for local breed cows. It was further observed that the resources were not efficiently used by both local breed and cross breed farms. It may be concluded that both local and cross breed dairy cow owners had a scope to reallocate their resources. However, it was found from the study that profitability of cross breed cows was higher than that of the local breed cows. The study identified some major problems and constraints as reported by farmers which were: lack of grazing land, lack of veterinary care and services, high price and scarcity of feed and fodder, low price of milk, etc. Finally, policy implications of the study were suggested.

The present study was based on primary data collected for 100 farmers from Gulbarga district of Karnataka during the agricultural year 2013-14. Tabular and discriminant function analysis was used in the present study. The analysis of data shows that the total cost of cultivation in pigeonpea seed production was around 23 per cent higher than grain production. The variable cost was comparatively higher in seed production (26936 per ha) over grain production (20698 per ha). The gross return was about 32 per cent higher in seed production than grain production and net return from seed production of pigeonpea was 44 per cent higher than grain production. The discriminant analysis indicated that gross return with 55.88 per cent followed by seed (18.52 per cent), human labour (8.35 per cent), manures and fertilizers (7.01per cent), bullock and machine labour (5.99 per cent), plant protection chemicals (4.26 per cent) contributed to discriminate between the seed and grain production of pigeonpea. The net return from pigeonpea seed production was encouraging, therefore the area under seed production may be increased for higher profitability and timely supply of quality seed to the farmers.

The present study was designed to assess the comparative profitability of selected winter vegetables: namely tomato, cauliflower and cabbage. In total, 90 farmers (30 each growing tomato, cauliflower and cabbage) were randomly selected from two villages under Shibpur Upazila in Narsingdi district. Both tabular and quantitative analyses were done to achieve the major objectives of the study. The major findings of the study revealed that production of all the selected vegetables were profitable. The per hectare gross cost of production of tomato, cauliflower and cabbage were Tk. 118000, 116977 and 120522, respectively and the corresponding gross returns were Tk. 217020, 210000 and 220000, respectively. The per hectare net returns of producing tomato, cauliflower and cabbage were Tk. 97000, 93023 and 99478, respectively. In other words, all the selected winter vegetables were highly profitable to the farmers. However, the farmers earned the highest profit from cabbage. The revenue type Cobb-Douglas production function analysis indicated that per hectare gross returns were significantly influenced by the use of human labour, tillage, seeds, fertilizers, irrigation and insecticides. These factors were directly or jointly responsible for influencing the per hectare gross returns of tomato, cauliflower and cabbage. The study reported some problems and constraints which are related to production and marketing of these vegetables. Based on the findings of the study, some recommendations were made to improve cultural and management practices for selected winter vegetables farming with a view to increase the income and employment opportunities of the farmers.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbau.v9i2.11036   J.

Seaweed-Kappaphycus-Euchema Cottonii and Denticulum species was first cultivated at Sabah side of Sebatik in 2009. By November 2014, sixty one Sabahan seaweed farmers cultivated 122 ha or 3,050 long lines. Thirty Sabahan seaweed farmers in Kampung Pendekar (3.2 m.t dried) and 31 in Burst Point (12.5 m.t dried) produced 16 metric tonnes of dried seaweed contributed 31% to Tawau’s total production (51 m.t). The remaining 69% were from farmers in Cowie Bay that separates Sebatik from municipality of Tawau. Indonesian in Desa Setabu, Sebatik started in 2008. However, the number of Indonesian seaweed farmers, their cultivated areas and production (as well as quality) in Sebatik increased many times higher and faster than the Sabah side of Sebatik. In 2009 more than 1,401 households in Kabupaten Nunukan (including Sebatik) cultivated over 700 ha and have produced 55,098.95 and 116, 73 m.t dried seaweed in 2010 and 2011 respectively. There is a divergence in productions from farming the sea off the same island under similar weather conditions. Which of the eight explanatory factors were affecting production of seaweeds in Sebatik? Using Cobb Douglas production function, Multiple Regression analysis was conducted on 100 samples (50 Sabahan and 50 Indonesian). Results; Variable significant at α = 0.05% are Experience in farming whereas Farm size; Quantity of propagules and Location — Dummy are the variables significant at α 0.01%. Not significant are variables Fuel; Age; Number of family members involved in farming and Education level.
