Marketing System and Price Behaviour of Pond Fish in .Some Selected Areas of Mymensingh J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 4(1): 173-182, 2006 ISSN 1810-3030 Marketing system and price behaviour of pond fish in .some selected areas of Mymensingh M.R. Islam', M.A. Feardous2, M.R. Hasan3 1 2 & Department of Rural Sociology, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh 3 Department of Cooperation and Marketing, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh Abstract This paper attempts to analyze the marketing system, cost and margins and price behaviour of cultured fish in Mymensingh district. Through purposive sampling technique data were collected from 50 Pondfish farmers, 20 Aratder, 20 .Paiker and 18 Retailer under Trisha! and Phulpur upazilps of Mymensingh district. Price data were collected from secondary source of weekly statistical bulletin of Department of Agriculture Marketing. The study demonstrated that most of the pondfish farmers and intermediaries were illiterate or had little education. Per acre variable cost, gross return and gross margin of the selected pondfish farmers were Tk. 86842.66, Tk.147e08.99 and Tk. 60766.33 respectively. The total marketing cost of Aratder, Paiker and Retailer were Tk. 96.96, Tk. 242.8 and Tk. 75.39 per quintal of fish respectively, while species wise average net margin were Tk. 321.81, Tk. 441.28 and Tk. 598.44 per quintal respectively and Retailer earned the highest margin for common fishes, particularly for Rui, Katla, Kalbaus and Tilapia fishes. The seasonal price variation was not so high and it ranged from maximum 10 to 15 taka. The pondfish farmers and different intermediaries identified some problems and constraints and they also suggested possible steps and measures to make the fish production and business more profitable and sustainable. Keywords: Marketing System, Cost and Margin and Price Behavior Introduction Fish and rice are the principal food items of the people of Bangladesh. Most of the people in the country depend on fish as the main source of protein. Fish, which is rich in high quality protein and essential minerals, is nutritionally equivalent to meat. The minimum per capita per day protein requirement, as per climatic condition of Bangladesh, has been estimated at 45.3 gm of which 15 gm should be animal origin and fish constitutes about 80 per cent of the total protein intake (Rahman et at1992, p.1). Fish alone, supplies about 60 per cent of animal protein (FFYP, 1998, P.248). The fisheries sector is also very important in the economy of Bangladesh and it plays a vital role in terms of providing nutrition, employment and foreigh exchange earnings. It has been estimated that about 1.3 million people are directly employed in this sector as well as about 12 million people indirectly earn their livelihood from fisheries related activities (Islam, 2000,p-69). Realizing the importance of fisheries. sector, steps are being taken in Bangladesh to increase production, but little emphasis has been given to improve the existing fish marketing system. During .the fishing season, a huge quantity of fish is not marketed and is wasted due to inadequate transportation facilities, lack of proper storage and preservation facilities on a large scale. So, the study of marketing of .cultured fishes is of crying need to identify the marketing problem. Therefore, the present study would be able to identify, particularly the marketing system, channels, functions and basic problems in the marketing of pond fish or cultured fish in Mymensingh. The study. will also make recommendations and suggestions to improve the organization and operation of cultured fish marketing system. On the basis of the forgoing discussions, the present study was undertaken with the objectives of determining: 174 Marketing system, cost, margin and price behaviour of pond fish • the socioeconomic characteristics of pond fish producers and intermediaries; .• the existing marketing system and the cost and margin at different stages of cultured fish marketing; and • the seasonal price behavior of cultured fish. Finally, this study will also provide *some useful information to fish farmers, traders, consumers and policy makers to formulate programs and policies related to the pond fish production and marketing. Materials and Methods The study was conducted in Trisha! and Phulpur upazila of Mymensingh district. Initially, purposive sampling technique was used to meet the objective of the study; the total sample size was 108 where fish farmers, aratdar, paiker and retailer were included. Then, the primary. data were collected from 50 pond fish farmers, 20 aratdar, 20 paiker and 18 retailers of both Trisha! and Phulpur upazilas. Price data were collected from secondary sources. Five years weekly price data for two different fishes of Mymensingh markets were collected from the Department of Agricultural Marketing (DAM). The instruments used for collecting primary information of the study included a structured questionnaire and informal interview. The questionnaire included both closed and open-ended questions, which were prepared keeping the objectives of the study in view. This was pre-tested before using it for final data collection. The data collection process took place during 12 November to 30 December 2004. Finally, the collected data were summarized, tabulated and analyzed in accordance with the objectives of the study. Results and Discussion Socio-economic characteristics of pondfish farmers and different intermediaries Level of Education: Education plays vital role in cultured fish production because educated farmer can take rational decisions regarding production and marketing system. The following table shows that only.10 percent farmers were in graduate level, while the corresponding percentage of Paiker, Aratdar and Retailer were zero: Occupational status: Occupation is an important indicator of socio-economic status. It is observed from the table that 80 per cent respondents' main occupation was fish culture and the remaining percentage (20%) was involved in agriculture and business as their main occupation but they were indirectly involved in fish production. A close look of the table shows that most of the intermediaries were involved in fish selling and marketing and their percentages were 90, 100 and 88.89 of Paiker, Aratdar and Retailer respectively and the rest of the Paiker and Retailer were related with this business indirectly. Annual income: It is observed form the table that 70 per cent of the pondfish,farmer earned more than Taka one lakh annually, while the corresponding percentages of Paiker, Aratdilr and Reatiler was 0.0, 25 and 16.66 respectively. It is also observed, form the table that most of the intermediaries earned annual income. less than Taka one lakh each. Islam et al. 175 Table 1.

It is observed from the table that 60 per cent pondfish farmer had less than five years experience of fish production, whereas 75 per cent of both Paiker and Aratdar had same experience of selling and marketing fish, but Retailer had much more experience in this regard. Cost and return of pond fish culture Two types of cost are significant in analyzing gross margin, which is related to pond fish production, i.e. material input cost and human labor cost commonly known as variable cost. The selected fish species for which cost and return analysis was done included Rui, Katla, Mrigal, Kalbaus, Grass Carp, Silver Carp, Pungus Tilapia Carpio, Shar Puti and Indigenous fish. Table 2 shows that material input cost consists of manure cost, cow dung, urea, TSP, lime, rice bran, rice polish, mustard oil cake, fish meal, ready feed, fingerlings, irrigation/fuel, medicine, electricity, transportation and green grass. Among input material cost of rice bran was fouhd to be the highest amounting Tk. 14796.53 per acre. In the study area, human labor j is needed for re-excavation, re-construction of bund, feeding and compost, stocking of fish seed, water moving, insecticide applications, weeding, fish harvesting and netting. Among the human labor cost feeding and compost bear the highest cost amounting Tk. 8106.69 per acre. It is found from the table that total variable cost of pond fish production was Tk. 86842.6.6 per acre. 176 Marketing system, cost, margin and price behaviour of pond fish Table 2.

Introduction Mymensingh Kewatkhali Bridge is part of the Dhaka-Mymensingh-India border corridor, which is strategically important for both regional and local connectivity. Three land ports have been developed along the Indian border in Mymensingh Division, namely Nakugaon Land port in Sherpur district, Gobrakura Land Port and Haluaghat Land Port in Mymensingh District. Traffic from the three land ports must cross Old Brahmaputra River at Mymensingh City in order to reach Dhaka and other parts of Bangladesh. As with other land ports on the northern border with India, the main import items are coal, lime stone, boulder, stone, glass sand, fruits and raw hides. Export items are food and beverage items, plastic goods and bricks. Given the proximity to the Indian border (around 60-80 km from Mymensingh to the three land ports), the road passing through Mymensingh serves international trade by carrying the major import/export items from/to India. The improved crossing at Mymensingh will help facilitate cross-border trade with northeast India. On the other hand, the Mymensingh Kewatkhali bridge will provide crossing over the Old Brahmaputra River to connect the landlocked north central and northeast Bangladesh with Dhaka.

    Bangladesh Rice J. 21 (2) : 217-235, 2017 Cropping Patterns in Mymensingh Region: Diversity, Constraint and Potential A Khatun1*, N Parvin1, M M R Dewan2 and A Saha1 ABSTRACT A consistent and comprehensive database on cropping pattern, cropping intensity and crop diversity of a particular area is the prime importance for guiding policy makers, researchers, extentionists and development agencies for the future research and development planning. The study was carried out all the upazilas of Mymensingh region during 2015-16 using pre-designed and pre-tested semi- structured questionnaire with a view to document the existing cropping pattern, crop diversity and cropping intensity. The most dominant cropping pattern Boro−Fallow−T. Aman occupied about one- half of net cropped area (NCA) of the region distributed to 46 out of 47 upazilas. Single Boro cropping pattern ranked the second position which covered 23% of NCA distributed in 45 upazilas. A total of 129 cropping patterns were identified in the whole area of Mymensingh region under this investigation. The highest number of (30) cropping patterns were identified in Pakundia upazila of Kishoreganj and the lowest was (10) in Sreebardi of Sherpur. The lowest crop diversity index (CDI) was reported (0.111) in Mithamoin of Kishoreganj followed by 0.114 at Khaliajuri in Netrokona. The highest value of CDI was observed 0.933 at Dewanganj in Jamalpur followed by 0.920 at Bhairab in Kishoreganj. The range of cropping intensity values was recorded 101-249%. The maximum value was for Hossainpur and minimum for Itna and Mithamoin in Kishoreganj. At a glance the calculated CDI of Mymensingh region was 0.840 and the average cropping intensity was 187%.

  • Factors Affecting the Technical Efficiency of Boro Rice Production in Bangladesh a Cobb-Douglas Stochastic Frontier Analysis
    J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 6(1): 215-226, 2008 ISSN 1810-3030 Factors affecting the technical efficiency of Boro rice production in Bangladesh a Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier analysis M.M.H. Sikdarl, M.A. Alam2 and M.I. Hossain2 Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Patuakhalil Department of Agricultural Statistics, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh Abstract A Cob-Douglas stochastic frontier production function was estimated to determine the technical efficiency of Boro rice production in Bangladesh. Technical inefficiency effect model was also estimated simultaneously with stochastic frontiers to identify factors, which influence efficiency. The coefficients of fertilizer, irrigation and human labour were found to be significantly positive in the stochastic frontier function, which meant with increase of fertilizer, irrigation and human labour the production of Boro rice will be increased. The coefficient of extension contact was negative and significant in the inefficiency effect model in Phulpur upazIla. This indicates that inefficiency decreases with the increase in extension contact. The mean technical efficiency was 92 percent. There appeared 8 percent inefficiency, which means that the farmers increase their production 8 percent without changing the input. Keywords: Stochastic, Frontier function and Technical efficiency Introduction Agriculture has been playing a vital role in socio-economic progress and sustainable development through upliftment of rural economy, ensuring food security by attaining autarky in food grains production, poverty alleviation and so on. It contributes 21.91 percent to the country's GDP. Agricultural sector in Bangladesh is largely dominated by paddy production. About 75.77 percent of the total cropped area is devoted to rice cultivation (Statistical Yearbook of Bangladesh, 2004).
