| dc.description | Agriculture is the backbone of the economy of Bangladesh. A lion share of GDP is
contributed by agriculture. It is the main profession of people Bangladesh. About eighty
per cent (80%) people of Bangladesh are dependent on agriculture directly. The rest one
also is related with agriculture indirectly. The industry of Bangladesh is agro-based. In
agriculture based economies, rural population accounted on average for almost seventy
per cent (70%) of total population, while agriculture amounted on average to twenty
nine percent (29%) of GDP in 2005 (World Bank 2008). | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Agriculture is the heart of the economy of Bangladesh. But our agriculture is affected by
many problems. Among many of the problems one of the most important problems is that
the farmers are not getting fair price of their crops. There exists wide variation in the
price of agricultural crops during on-season and off-season. Price remains very low
during on-season and become very high during off-season. More supply than demand
during on-season and less supply than demand during off-season is the main reason
behind the price variation. Some factors are responsible for this imbalance between
demand and supply. Among which the most important fact is the poverty of farmers. Since
most of the farmers of our country are poor, they sell their products during on-season at
lower price for the need of urgent cash. If they are given agricultural loan at comfortable
terms and conditions, then they will store crops instead of selling at lower price. This
mechanism will balance the demand and supply conditions of agricultural crops at some
extent. As a result, seasonal price variation of agricultural crops during off-season and
during on-season will reduce at some extent. We collected data of 350 respondents in
2013 from Dinajpur, Thakurgoan, Rangpur, Lalmonirhat and Nilphamary districts and
analyzed data by using Z-test, Chi-square test etc. In our study more than 80% farmers
in Bangladesh wanted agricultural loan and 70% farmers opined that agricultural loan
will reduce price variation of agricultural crops during on-season and off-season. So
government should take initiative to provide agricultural loan to farmers at comfortable
terms and conditions. | en_US |
