Boro Rice

This study was attempted to measure and compare resource use efficiency and relative productivity of farming under different tenure conditions in an area of Bhola district. A random sampling technique was used in the study. Sample farmers were classified as owner, crop share tenant and cash tenant farmers. A total of 90 samples, 30 from each class were selected on the basis of random sampling technique. The study explored the difference in the efficiency and productivity among owner, cash tenant and crop share tenant. Total cash expenses as well as total gross costs for producing HYV Boro rice was highest in owner farms and lowest in crop share tenant's farm. When individual inputs were concerned it was observed that expenses on human labor shared a major portion of expenses in the production of HYV Boro rice where owner operators used more hired labor in compare to other groups. However, the cash tenant farmers were more efficient than owner and crop share tenant farmers. Due to poor resource base the crop share tenants were unable to invest on modern farm inputs. It may be mentioned that in Bangladesh the predominant tenancy arrangement is share cropping, which is an inefficient form of tenure arrangement in compare to cash tenancy.

Boro Rice

Bangladesh is predominantly an agricultural country. Agriculture provides employment to nearly about 47.33 percent of its total labor forces (BER, 2015). Broad agriculture sector which includes crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry contributes 16 percent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a whole in the FY 2013-14 (BER, 2016). Mymensingh district was selected for the study to calculate the profitability and to assess the resource use efficiency of Boro rice production. Simple random sampling technique had been used for collecting data from 60 sample farmers through interview schedule. Both descriptive studies and functional analysis was done to achieve the objectives of the study. The findings of the study revealed that per hectare gross return, net return, and gross margin were found to be BTD110680.00, BTD 25208.94 and BTD 48158.95, respectively. Total costs of rice production were calculated at BTD 85471.06 per hectare. Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) was found to be 1.29 for Boro rice production. Thus it was found that Boro rice production was profitable. Production function analysis suggested that, among the variables included in the model, quantity of seed, animal labor and power tiller cost, No. of human labor, quantity of fertilizer, cost of irrigation, had a positive and significant effect on the gross yield of Boro rice production, except for cost of manure and cost of pesticides had an insignificant effect on the gross yield of rice production. Efficiency analysis indicated that most of the farmers inefficiently used their inputs. This study also identified some problems associated with Boro rice production. Problems faced by the farmers were ranked on the basis of corresponding percentages. This study provides appropriate suggestion and policy recommendations which will help the development agencies and policy makers of the country for improving the livelihood of the people in the study area.

The study was conducted using purposive cum random sampling technique and two hundred respondents comprised of 100 each borrowers and non-borrowers were selected from two block of district including marginal, small and medium categories of farm size. Primary data were collected through personal interview technique and required secondary information was taken from the record available at district and block level. Simple tabular and functional analysis and Garrett ranking were done to draw inferences. As per the result obtained from the study, no much difference was seen between the resource use efficiency of borrower and non-borrower farms and constraints faced by borrower. Since banana is a cash crop and it needs initial costs for its establishment, and after harvesting the crop regular source of income was generated by selling of suckers (seed) plant and its fruits. It’s by-product, leaves, etc. also used for various purposes. Minute inspection of the analysis showed that finance played important role for initiating the cultivation of banana crops showed the resource use efficiency that there is no considerable difference found on sample farms of borrower and non-borrower categories. Constraints faced by majority of the farmers were mainly delay in disbursement of loan and lack of the repayment period insufficient and improper management for withdraws on KCC.

Abstrak. Indonesia merupakan negara agraris karena mayoritas penduduknya bermata pencaharian sebagai petani. Tingginya pertambahan sehingga jumlah penduduk yang bertambah tidak sebanding dengan luas lahan yang tetap. Akibatnya lahan pertanian banyak dialih fungsikan menjadi areal non pertanian. Pada tahun 2017 rata-rata luas lahan yang dikuasai per RTP yaitu 2.589 m2. Akibatnya petani yang memiliki lahan sempit atau bahkan tidak memiliki lahan sawah sendiri akan memilih menggarap lahan sawah orang lain untuk menambah pendapatannya. Hal ini menyebabkan munculnya status penguasaan lahan petani pemilik penggarap, penyewa, penyakap dan pemegang gadai. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pendapatan yang diperoleh pada usahatani padi sawah berdasarkan status penguasaan lahan petani pemilik-penggarap, petani penyakap, petani penyewa dan petani pemegang gadai di Kecamatan Meureudu Kabupaten Pidie Jaya. Penentuan lokasi penelitian ini dilakukan secara sengaja (purposive sampling). Selanjutnya teknik pengambilan sampel ditentukan dengan cara stratified random sampling. Pengambilan sampel berdasarkan sistem penguasaan lahan sebesar 15%. Pengujian hipotesis dilakukan dengan menggunakan analisis biaya produksi, penerimaan, pendapatan, R/C Ratio dan Break Event Point (BEP). Hasil analisis pendapatan tertinggi yaitu pada petani dengan status lahan milik sebesar Rp. 8.322.235 /Ha/MT, selanjutnya pendapatan petani dengan status lahan sewa yaitu sebesar Rp. 8.201.947 /Ha/MT. Sedangkan pendapatan petani dengan status lahan gadai sebesar Rp. 8.075.218/Ha/MT. Pendapatan terendah yaitu pada status lahan sakap mencapai Rp. 8.029.151/Ha/MT. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan R/C Usahatani padi sawah beririgasi pada petani pemilik-penggarap dan petani penyewa lebih menguntungkan dibandingkan dengan petani pemegang gadai dan petani penyakap.Analisys of Rice Farmers Incomes Based on Irrigated Land Tenure Status in The Sub-District of Meureudu Pidie Jaya RegencyAbstract. Indonesia is an agrarian country as the majority of the population worked as farmers. A significant population growth is not comparable with the availability of land area. Therefore, many of agricultural lands have been converted into non-agricultural areas. In 2017, the average of land area was controlled by RTP and reached 2,589 m2. Hence, the farmer who own small land or landless farmer tends to cultivate land of others in order to get the income. Later, it comes up with the term of tenure status; farmer, tenant farmer, sharecropper, and pawn holder. The aim of this study is to know the income of farmer, tenant farmer, sharecropper, and pawn holder in rice farming business based on the tenure status at Meureudu, Pidie Jaya. The location of this study is determined by conducting purposive sampling method. The sampling technique is conducted by using stratified random sampling. The sample is selected based on the percentage of tenure system at 15%. The hypothesis testing is conducted by analyzing the production cost, revenue, income, R/C Ratio and Break Event Point (BEP). The findings indicate that the analysis of the highest income is earned by the farmers who own the land of Rp. 8.322.235/Ha/MT and then the income of tenant farmers with the status of rental land of Rp. 8.201.947/Ha/MT. While the income of farmers with pawn land status are Rp. 8.075.218/Ha/MT. The lowest income is earned by sharecroppers of Rp. 8.029.151/Ha/MT. Based on the calculation of R/C; the irrigated paddy farming on farmer and tenant farmers is more profitable than sharecroppers and pawn holders.

Cotton is the major commercial crop amongst all cash crops in India and provides  livelihood to  more  than  60  million  people  in  its  cultivation,  processing  and  textile  industry.  Cotton  crop  is  infested  by  various  pests  causing  significant  yield  losses therefore Bt cotton was introduced in India to reduce pesticide consumption and also increase  productivity. Since introduction there has been ongoing debate on the superiority and/ or inferiority of Bt cotton over non Bt cotton. Therefore the present study was undertaken to examine the Bt cotton technology on output and efficiency of inputs used in cotton cultivation in Karnataka state of South India during 2007. Primary data was collected from 90 farmers cultivating Bt and non-Bt cotton in Haveri district, Karnataka, India. The Cobb-Douglas production and decomposition analysis techniques were used to estimate the influence of factors and Bt technology on output change. The production function analysis indicated that the co-efficients of expenditure on fertilizers, labour, plant protection chemicals and land were significant in case of Bt cotton cultivation. The result of Resource use efficiency analysis showed that efficient use of labour, fertilizers and seeds had contributed the most to the difference in returns between Bt-cotton and non-Bt cotton cultivation.  Contribution of differences in the quantity of inputs used to higher returns from Bt cotton to the measured difference in gross returns between Bt and non-Bt cotton was 56.56 per cent, while that of the efficiency in the use of inputs was 23.83 per cent.

An investigation on the resource use efficiency of pig farming was carried out in the Mylliem and Mawphlang blocks of the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya. A multistage purposive and random sampling procedure was used for the study. Primary data were collected from a sample of 66 pig farmers. Analysis of resource use efficiency has shown that the sum of elasticities of production is 33.79, which indicated an increasing return to scale operating in the pig farms under study. Among the various resources selected for the study price of piglet and concentrated feed were found to be significant for returns per pig, and other factors of production like fodder, total human labor, veterinary aid, and medicine were found to be insignificant. Resource use efficiency ratio (r) for piglet price and concentrated feed was greater unity showing that these resources were underutilized and increment in their usage would lead to maximization of profit. The results revealed further scope to invest in quality breed piglets and feed to enhance the pig farmers’ profit in the state.

Resource use efficiency of yam production among smallholder farmers in Southeast, Nigeria was studied. The specific objectives of the study are to estimate the costs and returns in yam production, determine the allocative efficiency of yam production among small holder farmers, determine the different effects of yam cropping activities to the environment and identify and describe the limiting factor to yam production in the study area. A multi-stage random sampling technique was used to select 240 farmers and from which information needed for the study were elicited using a structure questionnaire. Cost and returns analysis, allocative efficiency model and distributive statistics such as percentage response and frequency distribution table were used to capture the objectives of the study. The result shows that yam production was profitable in the study area. Also, result of the allocative efficiency of the inputs shows that the farmers did not attain optimal allocative efficiency, since they either under - utilized or over utilized their resources. Yam production activities in form of clearing, burning, pesticides use, fertilizer use and tillage could result in among others wild Life habitation, oxygen – carbon dioxide balance, erosion, effect aesthetic, increases soil temperature, reduction of soil nutrient, human health and welfare and conversion of organic nitrogen into mobile nitrates. The constraints to yam production were high cost of labour, poor access to credit, poor access to extension services and high cost of labour. Improving farmers’ access to credit, fertilizer and extension contact were recommended.
