“…Table 3.13 shows that the current average application rates for N (267 kg/ha) and P 2 O 5 (247 kg/ha) are much higher than the recommendations but in agreement with application rates found in Munshiganj in 2009 (Rabbani et al 2010). The subsidised fertiliser costs contribute approximate 8 to 10% to the variable costs (Hossain et al 2008b). An interaction was found between the group of farmers and sub-district.…”

“…Among a huge variety of vegetables, potato stands first by choice of farmers after introducing some preservation facilities like cold storage and so on (Moazzem and Fujita, 2004). Whole year round demand of potato by consumers and the high perishable rate of other vegetables due to lack of preservation facilities are also responsible for the higher production within last few years though the cultivation of potato was started at late 19 th century in Bangladesh (Baset et al, 2009) in contrast to 17 th century in Indian sub-continent (Pandey et al, 2000) and commercial production of crops was started from 1920 (Hossain et al, 2008). The geographical suitability of Bangladesh is also responsible for the increase production of potato in every year (Nunn and Qian, 2011).…”

Potato (Solanum tuberosum), is the most consumed vegetable in Bangladesh throughout the year round. Due to the suitable environment, potato production is increased day by day and in 2019 Bangladesh became the seventh largest potato producing country in the world. Now the amount of production is more than the demand and hence from recent few years Bangladesh starts to exports potato and its associated food products to the different countries in the world. Unemployment problem is very common in the developing countries like Bangladesh but potato gives an opportunity to solve the problem and also help to eradicate the situation of hunger. Though bumper harvest of potato is very common in Bangladesh but the growers are sometimes devoid of to get the fair price due to the extreme margin by the middlemen. Hence, the aim of this study is to examine the present situation of potato production, storage, marketing system, and export. The major findings of this study are as follows: Firstly, poor transportation system, inadequate storage facilities, lack of capital, lack of knowledge of farmers about market price, illiteracy, and syndicate system of middlemen are some key factors for inefficient marketing system of potato in Bangladesh. Secondly, giving the increased important in potato is not the ultimate solution, instantly improve the marketing mechanism of potato is required for Bangladesh. Finally, it is exigent that government needs to take the obligatory steps for the sustainable production and marketing system of potato in Bangladesh.

“…1-The value of the sigma-squared σ 2 (0.241) was significant at a significant level (0.01 0.05) . 2-The gamma value (0.906) is at a significant level (0.01 0.05) and indicates that the largest part of the values' move away from the boundary product (variance of values) is due to technical inefficiency and is not the result of random error, as it indicates that (0.906) of deviations in production due to inefficiency in production due to the technical variables mentioned in the study (13), and it was only 0.094 due to factors out of control, and this is consistent with what was reached by other studies (16). 3-The value of the one side logarithmic probability error test (LR) (123.64), it is significant at a (0.05 0.01) level where it was greater than the Chi square (14.6 and 20.27) and therefore the alternative hypothesis confirms that there is a significant relationship between the study variables (source of seeds, agricultural season, age of farms, experience in growing potatoes, and contribution of farm income to income ratio the total number of farms and the number of irrigation) on the farm and between the inefficiency of potato farms in border production (10) and rejects the null hypothesis, which states that there is no significant relationship between the abovementioned study variables and the inefficiency of potato farms in border production.…”

This study aimed to estimate the stochastic frontier production function and the inefficiency function and technical efficiency of potato production by using cross-section data collected from 173 potato farms that were randomly selected in Baghdad province/ Yusifiyah for production season 2016. The results showed that 90.6% of inefficiency in production was due to technical inefficiency. Also, there was a significant relationship between the variables of inefficiency function and the inefficiency of farms. The values of the parameters of the stochastic frontier production function were positive and significant for both human work hours and the amount of seeds. However, the parameter of DAP fertilizer was negative and significant. The estimation of the technical inefficiency function showed that its parameters were significant for both the local seed provider and the agricultural season (fall), while the parameters experience in growing potatoes and the number of irrigations were significant and their impact was negative on the inefficiency. The results also showed that the technical efficiency of the study sample (50%) on average. The researchers recommended the necessity of providing imported seed tubers for the increased productivity in dunum to achieve technical efficiency.
