  • Trend, Variability and Relative Profitability of Spices in Bangladesh

    Trend, Variability and Relative Profitability of Spices in Bangladesh

    Bangladesh J. Agric. Econs. XVI, 1 (June 1993): 1-15 TREND, VARIABILITY AND RELATIVE PROFITABILITY OF SPICES IN BANGLADESH S. A. Sabur and Atiar Rahman Molla ABSTRACT The study examines the trend, annual and seasonal variability and relative profitability of spices in Bangladesh. All spices except turmeric and ginger show negative growth rates in production since independence. Production growth trend of all spices was lower compared with other food crops but it was reverse in case of nominal price trend. Real price remained more or less same during the study period. Production as well as price fluctuation were higher for onion and garlic and lower for ginger and turmeric. Price fluctuation is directly related to the production fluctuation. Seasonality mostly depends on the perishability of the product and seasonal price variation of spices decreased in the recent years. All the selected spices except coriander are more profitable compared with their competing crops except potato and lentil. On average, 82% of production, were sold during harvesting period. I. INTRODUCTION Bangladesh agriculture is still dominated by one crop, ie., rice. Seventy per cent of the cropped area is a under rice while all other crops compete for remaining 30 per cent of the cropped land (Appendix Table 2). For that reason, government of Bangladesh has placed special emphasis on the development of minor crops under crop diversification programme. But unfortunately, spices, the important minor crops, which have important role in generating farmers' income, creating employment opportunities and earning foreign exchange have not been included in this programme. Since spices need less irrigation water and about two thirds of cultivated land remain fallow during winter season, there is a great potential to expand the area and production of spices in Bangladesh.

    Effectiveness of Depot-Holders Introduced in Urban Areas: Evidence from a Pilot in Bangladesh

    J HEALTH POPUL NUTR 2005 Dec;23(4):377-387 © 2005 ICDDR,B: Centre for Health and Population Research ISSN 1606-0997 $ 5.00+0.20 Effectiveness of Depot-holders Introduced in Urban Areas: Evidence from a Pilot in Bangladesh Rukhsana Gazi, Alec Mercer, Jahanara Khatun, and Ziaul Islam Health Systems and Infectious Diseases Division ICDDR,B: Centre for Health and Population Research GPO Box 128, Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh ABSTRACT Depot-holders are women from the community who promote good health practice and use of clinics. They keep a stock of contraceptives and oral rehydration salts to supply other women and are paid some incentives. In 2003, the NGO Service Delivery Program (NSDP) introduced depot-holders in three types of urban area in Bangladesh as a pilot. This evaluation study was carried out to: (a) establish a baseline for measuring the impact of activities of depot-holders on a comprehensive range of indicators in the long-term, (b) make a preliminary assessment of the impact on the use of selected services of the essen-tial services package (ESP) and other indicators at the end of the pilot phase, and (c) assess the cost of introducing depot-holders and running their activities for a year. Data from the baseline and end of pilot household surveys, together with service statistics from the intervention and comparison areas, were used for assessing the changes in clinic use and commodity distribution. The study found evidence that the depot-holders transferred knowledge to women in the community, provided services, and referred women to clinics run by non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: BGD30821 Country: Bangladesh Date: 8 November 2006 Keywords: Bangladesh – Hindus – Awami League – Bengali language This response was prepared by the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. Are Hindus a minority religion in Bangladesh? 2. How are religious minorities, notably Hindus, treated in Bangladesh? 3. Is the Awami League traditionally supported by the Hindus in Bangladesh? 4. Are Hindu supporters of the Awami League discriminated against and if so, by whom? 5. Are there parts of Bangladesh where Hindus enjoy more safety? 6. Is Bengali the language of Bangladeshis? RESPONSE 1. Are Hindus a minority religion in Bangladesh? Hindus constitute approximately 10 percent of the population in Bangladesh making them a religious minority. Sunni Muslims constitute around 88 percent of the population and Buddhists and Christians make up the remainder of the religious minorities. The Hindu minority in Bangladesh has progressively diminished since partition in 1947 from approximately 25 percent of the population to its current 10 percent (US Department of State 2006, International Religious Freedom Report for 2006 – Bangladesh, 15 September – Attachment 1). 2. How are religious minorities, notably Hindus, treated in Bangladesh? In general, minorities in Bangladesh have been consistently mistreated by the government and Islamist extremists. Specific discrimination against the Hindu minority intensified immediately following the 2001 national elections when the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) gained victory with its four-party coalition government, including two Islamic parties.

  • Profitability of Litchi Production in Dinajpur District of Bangladesh

    Profitability of Litchi Production in Dinajpur District of Bangladesh

    J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 13(2): 283–289, 2015 ISSN 1810-3030 Profitability of litchi production in Dinajpur district of Bangladesh R. Akter*, M. Serajul Islam and H. Jahan Department of Agricultural Economics, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh-2202, Bangladesh *Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper examined the profitability of litchi production in Dinajpur district of Bangladesh. Both primary and secondary data were used to accomplish the study. The primary data were collected during production period of litchi from February to May, 2015 through direct interviews with litchi growers. In total 60 litchi growers were interviewed from four villages of Dinajpur district to collect the necessary information. Profitability analysis was employed for analyzing the data and testing the hypotheses of the study. The life cycle of litchi is divided into five parts; juvenile or non-bearing stage, early bearing stage, young bearing orchards, full bearing orchards and old declining orchard, respectively. Per acre production in a season of its full bearing stage was considered for this paper. The production of litchi largely depends on its age and weather during the four month of litchi production. The major findings of the present study revealed that per acre net return of litchi considering selected varieties was Tk. 171624 based on one production period (February to May) in its full bearing stages which means litchi production is a profitable enterprise. Keywords: Profitability, Litchi production, Dinajpur Introduction Litchi (Litchi chinensis) is regarded as one of the kings of sub-tropical fruits and famous for its excellent quality such as juiciness, slightly sour-sweet taste, characteristics pleasant flavor and attractive colour.
