  • Impact of Salinity on Rice Production in the South-West Region of Bangladesh
    id5425062 pdfMachine by Broadgun Software - a great PDF writer! - a great PDF creator! - http://www.pdfmachine.com http://www.broadgun.com EEnnvviirroonnImSmSN : e0e97nn4 - 7tt45aa1 ll SScciVioleeumnne 9 Iccssueee 4 An Indian Journal Current Research Paper ESAIJ, 9(4), 2014 [135-141] Impact of salinity on rice production in the south-west region of Bangladesh Md.Firoz Ahmed*, Mohammed Ziaul Haider Economics Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna-9208, (BANGLADESH) E-mail : [email protected] ABSTRACT KEYWORDS This study tries to quantify the impact of salinity on rice production in the Farm performance; south-west region of Bangladesh. Khorip is the dominant crop season in Production function; the region. The average production of rice during khorip season is 4,232 kg Salinity; ha-1 in low saline areas, whereas, it is 3,760 kg ha-1 and 2,663 kg ha-1 for South-west region of moderate and high saline areas, respectively. The Cobb-Douglas production Bangladesh. function estimation results find that salinity has a negative and statistically significant influence on rice yield. This study also finds that salinity intrusion negatively influences farm profitability as well as farm performance. If the salinity of high saline area can be reduced to the threshold level, farmers will gain about 685 US$ ha-1 from increased rice yield. Salinity level needs to be controlled for realizing the benefits from an increase in production. Drainage, fresh water management for irrigation in time of dry season and spreading salt tolerant rice varieties in saline prone area are the controlling measures against salinity intrusion. Land zoning, property rights, tax for external costs associated with shrimp farming in the coastal areas of the country may be some command and control approaches to address the salinity problem.

  • Sustainability of Changing Agricultural Systems in the Coastal Zone of Bangladesh
    Sustainability of Changing Agricultural Systems in the Coastal Zone of Bangladesh By BYOMKESH TALUKDER A thesis submitted to the School of Environmental Studies in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September, 2012) Copyright ©Byomkesh Talukder, 2012 Abstract Transformations of the various agricultural systems have been taking place in the coastal zone of Bangladesh. While some farmers continue to follow traditional practices, in recent years, others have become involved in massive shrimp cultivation, shrimp-rice cultivation, a rice-based improved agricultural system or a shrimp-rice-vegetable integrated system. All these types of agriculture are being practiced under highly vulnerable environmental conditions. The long-term livelihood, food security and adaptation of the coastal people largely depend on the sustainability of these agricultural practices. In this context, assessing the level of sustainability is extremely important and will be essential for developing future policy options in Bangladesh. This study attempts to examine the sustainability of agricultural practices in the coastal region of Bangladesh. A field study was carried out in 2011 in five villages of five upazilas in the mature and active delta areas of the country. The data were collected through in-depth questionnaire surveys, focus groups discussions, field observation, key informants and secondary materials. A comprehensive suite of indicators was developed considering productivity, efficiency, stability, durability, compatibility and equity of the coastal agriculture. The categories and the indicators were weighted using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to measure the sustainability level of five study sites. The integrated agricultural system (shrimp-rice-vegetable) of Dumuria appeared to be the most sustainable system among agricultural practices, and other integrated systems (rice-based improved agricultural system) of Kalaroa were also found to show a good level of sustainability.
