Abstract

Government Boro procurement programme was evaluated with the help of primary data collected from different upazilas under Bogra and Naogaon districts during 2001. Additionally, secondary data were obtained from different sources. Farmers and millers directly sold paddy and rice respectively to the procurement centre. Faria and Bepari did not sell paddy or rice directly to the procurement centre but they formed a complex channel in procurement of rice in the study areas. Large differences were observed between procurement price and market price and procurement price and cost of production in different years. The highest difference between procurement price and market price was observed in the month of May for paddy and June for rice. Positive relationship was observed between the percentage of marketed surplus procured and market price of paddy. Small farmers sold the highest proportion of their surplus to the procurement centre compared with large farmers. The cost of selling paddy to procurement centre was more than double as much as the cost involved in selling paddy in the market. Majority of millers were not satisfied with the size of quota received for Boro rice. The factors such as marketed surplus, experience, education, metalled road and distance of procurement centre were found to influence the participation of farmers in procurement programme. The major reasons for not selling paddy to the procurement centre by farmers were lengthy procedure, loss of time and high transportation cost.
