ABSTRACT: The study was conducted in four upazilas, namely Ullapara, Shahzadpur, Tarash and Belkuchi of Sirajganj district to analyze the cost and return of mustard and sesame cultivation. Thirty mustard and thirty sesame producing farmers were purposively selected from each upazila and thus sample size was 240 for the study. Primary data were collected from the respondents through well-organized structural questionnaire. Data were sorted, scrutinized and analyzed to evaluate economic performance of mustard and sesame cultivation. Cost of cultivation was calculated based on variable and fixed cost basis. Return was measured in form of gross return, gross margin, net return and benefit cost ratio (BCR). Results of the study revealed that cultivation cost of mustard was higher (Tk. 53932 ha-1) than sesame (Tk. 39993 ha-1). Gross return, gross margin, and net return from mustard cultivation were estimated as Tk. 60120, Tk.15827 and Tk. 6188 ha-1 respectively. While, those were Tk. 70400, Tk. 42046 and Tk. 30407 ha-1, respectively for sesame cultivation. The estimated BCR was 1.11 for cultivation of mustard and 1.76 for cultivation of sesame, which indicated that sesame cultivation is more profitable compared to mustard in the study area.
