Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The rice variety BR11 and BRRI dhan33 in T. aman season; and BRRI dhan28 and BRRI dhan29 in Boro season were cultivated by local farmers. Three farmers were selected purposively for each variety in each season. Data were collected from those farmers through direct supervision. Cultivation of BR11 and BRRI dhan33 in T. aman season was profitable in terms of both gross margin, net margin and BCR. In Boro season, the BCR varied from 0.80 to 0.94. In this season, the farmers despaired cultivating high yielding varieties of rice due to higher cost of fertilizer, labor, irrigation and dramatic slip of price at marketing stage.
