Abstract
This study is very important in the present perspective of rice economy as comparative economics of inbred HYVs and hybrid rice production was very scanty. As such, the present study was conducted to examine the relative productivity, profitability, and comparative technical efficiency of inbred HYVs and hybrid rice production in some selected areas of Gazipur district. The study was conducted in four villages in Sadar Upzila under Gazipur district, namely Kesurita, Martarchar, Harinal, and Samantapur. A total of 80 farmers from the four villages were interviewed consisting of 40 farmers for hybrid and 40 for inbred HYVs rice. Data were generated by personal interview using structured questionnaire through conducting farm level survey. The analysis revealed that there was no significant difference between farmers practices and recommended rate of hybrid seed, TSP, and MP. But the farmers used urea and seed of inbred HYVs significantly higher than recommend rate. Hybrid farms incurred total cost of Tk. 63377/ha and inbred farms incurred Tk. 61195/ha, respectively. Net returns obtained from hybrid rice was Tk. 59,056/ha whereas it was Tk. 42,818/ha for inbred HYVs rice. Average net return of inbred rice was 38% lower compared to that of hybrid rice. Benefit cost ratio of inbred and hybrid production was estimated to be 1.93 and 1.70, respectively. The average yield of inbred HYV was 6.03 t/ha and by product was 4.50 t/ha, while those of hybrid were 7.76 t/ha and 5.50 t/ha, respectively. The estimates of technical inefficiency implied that education, farming experience, extension contact, land type, seedling age, and number of seedlings per hill were the major determinants of inefficiency for both inbred and hybrid rice growers. The mean technical efficiency was about 80% for inbred and 86% for hybrid rice producers, respectively, indicating hybrid rice growers were technically more efficient than inbred growers. Higher-level of education and more contact with extension agents were found to contribute in reducing technical inefficiency of both inbred and hybrid rice producers. Although, inbred and hybrid rice producers faced some problems, but it was more severe for hybrid DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjar.v37i2.11225 Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 37(2): 235-250, June 2012
