The article describes the findings of a study on the credit programmes designed for the small farmers and landless poor, by some government and non-government organizations. It was found that the programmes under consideration provided employment opportunity to the participants at least for the project period. Housewives also benefited from the programmes since they could utilize their leisure time productively by engaging themselves in income generating activities. However, it was found that many of the loanee-participants could not yet settle permanently with any particular occupation in spite of a number of years of involvement in the project. A good number of loanees still depend on selling labour. The amount of credit provided by most of the organizations was reported to be highly inadequate. Many participants also borrowed from other institutional and non-institutional sources. The main trust of these programmes was found to be augmenting monetary benefits rather than overall development of the participating families.
这篇文章描述了一些政府和非政府组织对为小农和无地穷人设计的信贷方案进行研究的结果。结果发现,审议中的方案至少在项目期间为参与者提供了就业机会。家庭主妇也从这些方案中受益,因为她们可以通过参加创收活动来有效地利用闲暇时间。然而,人们发现,许多贷款参与者尽管参与该项目多年,但仍不能长期从事某一特定职业。大量的贷款仍然依赖于出卖劳动力。据报告,大多数组织提供的信贷数额非常不足。许多与会者还从其他机构和非机构来源借款。人们发现,这些方案的主要目的是增加金钱利益,而不是参与家庭的全面发展。

Pub Date : 1986-06-30 DOI: 10.22004/AG.ECON.208362
N. Chowdhury
The paper seeks to revalue women's nonmarket work in the context of parts of rural Bangladesh, v} ich is where most of her women folk live. It raises relevant conceptual and methodological considerations relating to revaluation of women's work, reviews various sets of evidence on the pattern of time use of women in Bangladesh, and then puts up a broad order of magnitude as to the value of women's nonmarket work. For this purpose, it taken the sexual division of labour and sexual differential in rates of wages as given. The paper shows that rural women in Bangladesh work as hard, if anything harder, as mm on a daily basis. It also shows the widespread sexual distribution of labour in the sense of involving the influence of social stereotypes in the allocation of tasks between males and females. Finally, it shows that productive work within households consists of market work, typically by men, and a good deal of subsistence work and domestic work performed by women.
这篇论文试图在孟加拉国部分农村地区重新评估妇女的非市场工作,那里是大多数妇女居住的地方。它提出了有关重新评价妇女工作的概念和方法方面的考虑,审查了关于孟加拉国妇女利用时间模式的各种证据,然后对妇女非市场工作的价值提出了一个广泛的数量级。为此目的,它把两性分工和工资率的两性差别作为给定的。报告显示,孟加拉国的农村妇女每天的工作和我一样辛苦,如果有什么比我更辛苦的话。它还显示了劳动的广泛性别分配,在男女之间的任务分配中涉及社会陈规定型观念的影响。最后,它表明,家庭内的生产性工作包括市场工作(通常由男子)和大量由妇女从事的维持生计的工作和家务劳动。

Draft power shortage and mechanization of tillage in Bangladesh. 孟加拉国的牵引力不足和机械化耕作。
Pub Date : 1980-12-31 DOI: 10.22004/AG.ECON.208741
M. Jabbar
This paper shows, by using census and various survey data, that there is absolute shortage of draft power in the country. Two important manifestations of shortage are : (1) 40-50 per cent of power animals are female and this proportion has been increasing. (2) the quality of animal is poor and this also has been deteriorating. The paper identified two major causes of increased use of female rather than engine power to meet power shortage. First, the characteristics of prevailing agrarian structure with small-scale fragmented farming, unequal ownership and consequent prevalence of sharecropping inhibit rapid adoption and efficient use of improved farm technology. Second, although draft power shortage has been recognized for a long time, no consistent policy has been pursued to solve the problem. Consequently draft power shortage has contributed, along with many other things, to the slow growth of agricultural production and employment. It is concluded that a clearly defined mechanization policy need to be formulated very urgently. The most immediate objective of such a policy should be to find ways of restoring the social position of the cow as the producer of milk.
本文通过人口普查和各种调查数据表明,我国存在征兵权绝对短缺的问题。短缺的两个重要表现是:(1)40% - 50%的动力动物是雌性,而且这一比例还在增加。(2)畜禽质量差,且不断恶化。该论文指出了两个主要原因,增加使用女性而不是发动机功率,以满足电力短缺。首先,现行农业结构的特点是小规模分散耕作、所有权不平等以及随之而来的分成制普遍存在,这些特点阻碍了改进农业技术的迅速采用和有效利用。第二,虽然人们早就认识到草案电力短缺,但一直没有采取一致的政策来解决这一问题。因此,电力短缺和许多其他因素一起导致了农业生产和就业的缓慢增长。因此,迫切需要制定明确的机械化政策。这种政策最直接的目标应该是找到恢复奶牛作为牛奶生产者的社会地位的方法。

FOODGRAIN PRODUCTION IN BANGLADESH: THE POTENTIAL FOR WHEAT 孟加拉国粮食生产:小麦的潜力
Pub Date : 1979-12-31 DOI: 10.22004/AG.ECON.225535
M. Rahman
Bangladesh has been suffering from a chronic foodgrain shortage. Consequently she has been importing 1.4 to 2.7 million tons of foodgrain annually, 90 per cent of which is wheat. The cost of foodgrain import consumes about 25 to 35 per cent of available foreign assistance. To make the country self-sufficient in foodgrain production the Bangladesh Government put emphasis on the introduction of high yielding varieties (HYV) of rice. But the record of success of HYV rice has been limited due to technical and socio-economic constraints. Since the inputs and water requirements of HYV wheat are lower than that of HYV rice, this paper made efforts to explore the potential of wheat production keeping in view, however, of the limitations in the long term. It also suggested to direct research activities to develop drought resistant food crops.
孟加拉国长期遭受粮食短缺之苦。因此,她每年进口140万至270万吨粮食,其中90%是小麦。粮食进口费用消耗了现有外国援助的25%至35%。为了使该国在粮食生产方面实现自给自足,孟加拉国政府把重点放在引进高产水稻品种上。但是,由于技术和社会经济的限制,HYV水稻的成功记录有限。由于HYV小麦的投入和需水量低于HYV水稻,因此,考虑到长期的局限性,本文试图探索HYV小麦的生产潜力。它还建议指导研究活动以开发抗旱粮食作物。

THE ECONOMICS OF AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH IN BANGLADESH 孟加拉国农业研究的经济学
Pub Date : 1979-12-31 DOI: 10.22004/AG.ECON.225533
C. Pray
This paper is a preliminary study of three problems that Government policy-makers who are concerned with agricultural research at different levels have to face. The first problem is the allocation of funds between agricultural research and other investments that the government could make. The study shows that there has been a high pay-off to a very small investment in agricultural research in Bangladesh, and that some of this pay-off has reached all levels of rural society. The second problem facing officials is how to distribute funds between different institutes and between different commodities. Some relatively simple criteria are suggested which could be used in assisting this decision. Applying one of these criteria indicates that rice, fisheries, and livestock should be receiving more funds. The third problem is how to improve the efficiency of research institutes. It is suggested that scientists and administrators need more incentives to do practical research efficiently and also that there needs to be more contact between researdiers and farmers.
本文初步探讨了各级从事农业研究的政府决策者所面临的三个问题。第一个问题是政府在农业研究和其他投资之间的资金分配。这项研究表明,孟加拉国对农业研究的一笔很小的投资产生了很高的回报,其中一些回报惠及了农村社会的各个层面。官员们面临的第二个问题是如何在不同机构和不同商品之间分配资金。提出了一些相对简单的标准,可用于协助作出这一决定。采用这些标准之一表明,稻米、渔业和畜牧业应该得到更多的资金。第三个问题是如何提高科研机构的效率。这篇文章建议,科学家和管理者需要更多的激励来有效地进行实践研究,而且科学家和农民之间需要更多的接触。

PUBLIC FOODGRAIN DISTRIBUTION AND POVERTY IN BANGLADESH 孟加拉的公共粮食分配和贫困
Pub Date : 1978-12-31 DOI: 10.22004/AG.ECON.225543
R. Ahmed
The opportunity cost of food subsidy is high in Bangladesh; subsidy cost exceeded a billion taka mark in 1975-76. Although poverty is more widespread in rural than in urban areas, the country's 9 percent urban population shared 66 percent of the subsidized foodgrains in 1973-74. Levels of the foodgrain consumption of the urban poor would, however, have been lower by 15-24 percent without this subsidy. Rationing or open market sales of foodgrains for the rural landless households involves either a prohibitive cost or a disincentive to producers through low market prices. Input subsidy provides a policy option for resolution of this conflict. Increasing supply of ration foodgrains and/or lowering their prices will generate additional demand for other commodities at a faster rate than foodgrains. Therefore, rationing policies have implications for supply and prices of non-foodgrain commodities. For every dollar's worth of import, wheat offers a smaller disincentive to rice producers and a larger caloric gain to consumers than rice. A significant shift in policy reflecting this fact would require a reevaluation of the opportunity cost of the domestic programme for increasing wheat production.
在孟加拉国,食品补贴的机会成本很高;1975年至1976年,补贴费用超过10亿塔卡。尽管贫困在农村地区比城市地区更为普遍,但在1973年至1974年期间,该国9%的城市人口分享了66%的补贴粮食。然而,如果没有这项补贴,城市贫困人口的粮食消费水平将降低15- 24%。对农村无地家庭实行粮食配给制或公开市场销售,要么成本过高,要么由于市场价格过低而抑制生产者的积极性。投入补贴为解决这一矛盾提供了政策选择。增加定量粮食供应和(或)降低粮食价格将以比粮食更快的速度产生对其他商品的额外需求。因此,配给制政策对非粮食商品的供应和价格有影响。与大米相比,每进口一美元,小麦对大米生产商的抑制作用较小,而对消费者的热量增加作用更大。要在政策上作出反映这一事实的重大转变,就需要重新评估增加小麦产量的国内方案的机会成本。

RELATIVE PROFITABILITY OF HYV BORO UNDER DIFFERENT SYSTEMS OF TUBEWELL IRRIGATION IN AN AREA OF BANGLADESH 孟加拉国某地区不同管井灌溉系统下混合管道的相对盈利能力
Pub Date : 1978-06-30 DOI: 10.22004/AG.ECON.225539
W. Jaim, M. M. Rahman
The present study investigated into the relative profitability and problems of Deep Tube-wells, Shallow Tube-wells and Hand Tube-wells with respect to HYV of boro. It was found that from both private and social point of views, DTW was the most profitable and then came STW and HTW in order, However, when the opportunity cost of labour for operating HTW was considered as zero, the social benefit accrued to the use of HTW was found to be the highest. When full operating cost of labour for HTW was considered, the net return to HTW was found to be negative. The HTW projects were dominated by small/marginal farmers; the STWs were dominated by rich farmers; whereas, the DTWs were used by almost all the categories of farmers: large, medium, and small, Sensitive factors such as yield, price and acreage coverage were tested against the findings. It was observed that acceptability of the project to a cost-benefit ratio of one or I. R. R of 15% would not change until there was a drastic change in those factors. The study identified certain basic problems of the irrigation facilities and came to the conclusion that for the optimal use of the facilities, these problems needed urgent solution.
本文研究了深管井、浅管井和手管井在油气开采中的相对效益和存在的问题。研究发现,从个人和社会的角度来看,DTW是最有利可图的,其次是STW和HTW。然而,当操作HTW的劳动力机会成本为零时,使用HTW的社会效益最高。当考虑到HTW的全部劳动力运营成本时,发现HTW的净回报为负。HTW项目以小农/边缘农户为主;污水处理厂以富农为主;然而,几乎所有类别的农民都使用DTWs:大型、中型和小型。根据研究结果,对产量、价格和面积覆盖等敏感因素进行了测试。有人指出,在成本效益比为1或i.r.r为15%的情况下,项目的可接受性不会改变,直到这些因素发生重大变化。研究确定了灌溉设施的一些基本问题,并得出结论,为使灌溉设施得到最佳利用,这些问题亟需解决。

AN OPTIMAL CROPPING PLAN FOR FARMERS IN A SHALLOW TUBEWELL IRRIGATED AREA IN BANGLADESH 孟加拉国浅管井灌溉地区农民的最佳种植计划
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.22004/AG.ECON.201658
F. Sarker, J. Lingard
This study was undertaken in an area of Bangladesh to assess the impact of minor irrigation on different farm sizes and determines the optimum allocation of resources of large and small farmers among different crops in a shallow tubewell (STW) irrigation system. Farm survey method was used to collect data in order to develop linear programming representative farm models. The analysis takes into account crop activities, inputs used, farm size and soil types. Optimal plans show mis-allocation of existing resources and indicated considerable scope for increasing farm income by reallocation of existing resources. The mis-allocation of resources on large farms was greater than on small farms. The analysis suggests that, by reallocating existing resources, large farms can increase farm income and employment more significantly than small farms. The research supports the view that the government should maintain a policy that favours private sector investment and operation of STW irrigation and the extension workers may direct farmers to allocate their resources in better way.
这项研究是在孟加拉国的一个地区进行的,目的是评估小规模灌溉对不同农场规模的影响,并确定在浅管井(STW)灌溉系统中,大户和小户农民在不同作物之间的资源最佳分配。采用农场调查法收集数据,建立线性规划代表性农场模型。该分析考虑了作物活动、投入物使用、农场规模和土壤类型。最优计划显示了现有资源的错误分配,并指出了通过重新分配现有资源来增加农业收入的相当大的空间。大型农场的资源配置不当比小型农场更严重。分析表明,通过重新分配现有资源,大型农场可以比小型农场更显著地增加农场收入和就业。该研究支持了这样一种观点,即政府应该保持有利于私营部门投资和运营STW灌溉的政策,推广人员可以指导农民更好地分配资源。

Impact of micro-credit programmes on poverty alleviation in Bangladesh 小额信贷方案对孟加拉国减轻贫穷的影响
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.22004/AG.ECON.196767

This present study examines the impact of micro-credit programmes of six government organisations (GO), non-government organisations (NGO) and micro-finance institutes (MFI) on poverty alleviation in Bangladesh using a purposive sample of 406 credit receivers. Alongside respondent’s perceived change in poverty situation this study devised an alternative measure of poverty change based on the change in household wealth and education of a household. Two-level binary logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression analyses suggest that amount of loan, different GO /NGOs/MFIs, satisfaction level, taken loan before and micro-credit as main means of asset change were the determinants of change in poverty situation. Significant community level variation was found in this analysis which indicates that the respondents from different communities with same set of characteristics will exhibit different influences on the change in poverty situation. Further research should be carried out to identify the sources of such variation to optimise the effect of micro-credit.
本研究考察了六个政府组织(GO)、非政府组织(NGO)和小额信贷机构(MFI)的小额信贷方案对孟加拉国减贫的影响,使用了406个信贷接受者的有目的样本。除了受访者对贫困状况的感知变化外,本研究还设计了一种基于家庭财富和家庭教育变化的贫困变化替代措施。两级二元logistic回归和多项logistic回归分析表明,贷款金额、不同的GO / ngo / mfi、满意度、贷款前和小额信贷作为资产变更的主要手段是贫困状况变化的决定因素。本分析发现显著的社区水平差异,这表明具有相同特征的不同社区的被调查者对贫困状况变化的影响是不同的。为了优化小额信贷的效果,应该进一步研究这种差异的来源。

The demand for eco-friendly food is increasing globally, including Bangladesh. This study aimed to examine the environmental consciousness and knowledge-behavior gap of young consumers regarding eco-friendly food purchasing intentions in Bangladesh. Survey data were collected from 200 young university students employing purposive random sampling methods in 2019. The results reveal that most young consumers have strong environmental consciousness and intention to purchase green products. While purchasing, they usually prefer eco-labeled and environment-friendly products. The factors fueling the respondents' environment consciousness-behavior gap include unavailability of eco-friendly products, the high price of available eco-friendly products, and minimum eco-friendly product alternatives to conventional products. Making eco-friendly products available for all and alternatives to regular food commodities will favorably foster the purchasing intention of eco-friendly food in Bangladesh.
包括孟加拉国在内,全球对环保食品的需求正在增加。本研究旨在考察孟加拉国年轻消费者在环保食品购买意愿方面的环境意识和知识-行为差距。调查数据收集于2019年,采用有目的随机抽样的方法对200名青年大学生进行调查。结果显示,大多数年轻消费者具有较强的环保意识和购买绿色产品的意愿。在购买时,他们通常更喜欢生态标签和环保产品。造成受访者环境意识-行为差距的因素包括环保产品的不可获得性、可获得的环保产品的高价格以及替代传统产品的环保产品较少。为所有人提供环保产品和常规食品的替代品将有利于促进孟加拉国环保食品的购买意愿。
