  • 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.

  • 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.

Towfiqul Islama* aDepartment of Disaster Management, Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur 5400, Bangladesh Received: 13 June 2019 / Revised: 16 October 2019 / Accepted: 12 January 2020 Abstract Drought risk has become a major threat for sustaining food security in Bangladesh; the particularly northwestern region of Bangladesh. The objective of the study is to assess drought disaster risk on Boro paddy cultivated areas of northwestern Bangladesh using drought disaster risk index (DDRI) model. The sensitivity of Boro paddy to droughts during crop-growing seasons and irrigation recoverability were employed to reflect vulnerability condition. Moreover, the threshold level of the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) was applied to evaluate the drought hazard on Boro paddy cultivated areas in the northwestern region of Bangladesh. The probability density function (PDF) was used to show the threshold level of drought hazard. The results show that drought hazard is comparatively severe in Ishardi area compared to other northwestern regions of Bangladesh. The drought disaster risk is higher in Ishardi and Rajshahi areas than Rangpur and Dinajpur areas. Although Ishardi area is more prone to high drought risk, at the same time, the recoverability rate is also quicker than any other areas. The relationship between Boro rice yield rates and drought disaster risk is insignificant.

  • Impacts of Climate Variability on Major Food Crops in Selected Agro-Ecosystems of Bangladesh M
    Ann.M. G. Bangladesh Miah, M. A. Agric. Rahman, (2016) M. 20(1 M. Rahman & 2) : 61-74 and S. R. Saha ISSN 1025-482X (Print)61 2521-5477 (Online) IMPACTS OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY ON MAJOR FOOD CROPS IN SELECTED AGRO-ECOSYSTEMS OF BANGLADESH M. G. Miah*1, M. A. Rahman1, M. M. Rahman1 and S. R. Saha1 Abstract The agriculture of Bangladesh has been recognized as one of the most vulnerable sectors to the impacts of climate change due to its juxtaposing geographical position. This study examined the nexus between long-term (1960–2014) climate variables with the yield and area of major food crops in selected agro-ecosystems (Gazipur, Comilla, Jessore, and Dinajpur) of Bangladesh. Secondary data from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) were used in analyzing climate variability for all the studied locations. Data of crop yields were collected from the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) local offices and respective farmers. Fifty farmers from each site were selected randomly and interviewed to investigate the farmers’ perceptions regarding the climate change phenomenon and its impact on crop production. Results showed the increasing trend of temperatures with time, which became more pronounced in Jessore and Dinajpur. Annual rainfall also revealed an increasing trend in all locations except Comilla. The analyses of Lower Confidence Level (LCL) and Upper Confidence Level (UCL) clearly indicated that the climate in recent years (1990–2014) changed conspicuously compared to that in 30 years ago (1960– 1989). Results of Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) indicated drought intensity, which was distinct in Dinajpur and Jessore. Although area under crop production had declined, yields showed an increasing trend in all locations because of technological advances.

    J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 7(2): 141-149, 2014 ISSN 1999-7361 Analysis of Variability in Rainfall Patterns in Greater Rajshahi Division using GIS M. Shamsuzzoha1, A. Parvez2 and A.F.M.K.Chowdhury3* 1Department of Emergency Management, 2Department of Environmental Science, 3Department of Resource Management, Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Bangladesh; * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The study entitled ‘Analysis of Changes in Rainfall Patterns in Rajshahi Division using GIS’ is an experimental climatological research. The main objectives of the study is to examine the long-term changes in rainfall patterns of Rajshahi Division. Secondary data of rainfall distribution have been collected from Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD), Dhaka. The study has analysed monthly, seasonal and annual rainfall distribution pattern from 1962 to 2007 of five selected weather stations namely Bogra, Dinajpur, Ishurdi, Rajshahi and Rangpur. For convenience of analysis, the data has been divided into two halves of time period as 1962-1984 and 1985-2007. Based on GIS, the study gifts the spatial analysis of rainfall patten using Thiessen Polygon Method, Isohytal and Hytograph Method and Percentage Method. It has been found that there is evidence of annual rainfall change with an increasing pattern in Bogra, Dinajpur, Rajshahi and Rangpur. In these four stations, the changing pattern in Rangpur is the highest. Downward shift of annual rainfall shows a decreasing pattern in Ishurdi. The descending order of monthly and seasonal rainfall pattern for Ishurdi, Rajshahi and Rangpur has been found as July > June > September >August > October > April > March > February > November > December. Although Bogra and Dinajpur have contained this trend in the same order from July to March, anomalies pattern has been found for last four months.

  • Patterns of Climate Change and Its Impacts in Northwestern Bangladesh
    Journal of Engineering Science 10(2), 2019, 33-48 JES an international Journal PATTERNS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS IMPACTS IN NORTHWESTERN BANGLADESH Samarendra Karmakar Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies (BCAS), Dhaka, Bangladesh Received: 17 September 2019 Accepted: 27 October 2019 ABSTRACT Climatological data on different parameters like daily temperature, rainfall, maximum and minimum temperatures, relative humidity and pre-monsoon daily thunderstorm frequency over Rajshahi, Rangpur and Dinajpur for the period 1981-2016 have been used to study their temporal variations on monthly, seasonal and annual basis. Rainfall data is also used to compute the non-rainy days (dry days), and the relative humidity is used to compute heat stress over the places under study. The trends of dry days and heat stress are studied. Daily maximum and minimum temperatures are used to find out the frequencies of temperature >36C and temperature <10C for studying trends of heat waves and cold waves over the region. The temporal variations of all the parameters have increasing trends except for some parameters which have increasing trends from 2000. The study has revealed that the annual mean temperature has increasing trends in Rajshahi and Rangpur with increasing rates of +0.012 and +0.017C/year respectively during 1981-2016. It has decreasing trend in Dinajpur at -0.017C/ year during 1981-2016. But annual mean temperature at Dinajpur has increasing trend at a rate of +0.014C/year from 1990. Annual rainfall has decreasing trends at all stations under study. The rates of decreasing of annual rainfall are -8.946, -14.170 and -11.030 mm/year in Rajshahi, Rangpur and Dinajpur respectively.

Acknowledgement The whole world is going through a critical time in the period of the COVID-19 outbreak. In Bangladesh too, vulnerable groups like indigenous peoples, are leading miserable lives in the ongoing pandemic situation at the face of food shortages, loss of livelihoods, unemployment, limited access to healthcare services, little or no government relief etc. Indigenous peoples both in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) and the plains, are bearing the brunt of this crisis due to the countrywide shutdown, closure of education institutions and offices, and movement restrictions, even though these measures could not stop the spread of the COVID-19 cases.
