Abstract

The research work was conducted to estimate comparative profitability, seasonal price variations, and factors affecting the farmers’ decision in the adoption of off-seasonal vegetables using tomato and bean vegetables in single research work. A total of 120 farmers (60 focals and 60 controls) were selected using the convenience sampling technique from two sub-districts of the Maulvibazar district of Bangladesh. The focal farmers received little input support and technical assistance from Sylhet Agricultural University, Bangladesh, while the control farmers were not received such assistance. Tabular, descriptive statistics and simple mathematical techniques were used for quantitative data analysis where the binary logit model was applied for qualitative data analysis. The study revealed that the focal tomato and the bean farmers’ respective share of BCR were 40.25% and 65.91% higher compared to the control tomato and bean farmers. The study also revealed that for both tomato and bean vegetables seasonal price indexes were found significantly high from August to October. Furthermore, the logit model revealed that farm size, gross return, access to extension, and access to credit had a significant effect on the farmers' decision in the adoption of off-seasonal vegetables. Motivation, regular extension contracts, credit accessibility, training, and input support are recommended to implement and nourish the farmers' knowledge about off-seasonal vegetables production practices. The findings of the study are expected to support the farmers, researchers, and policymakers to make informed production decisions, future research work formulation, and policy development regarding the vegetable sector of Bangladesh.
