摘要：A study was carried out in three potato growing areas viz. Munshiganj, Bogra and Jessore covering 75 potato growers to measure technical efficiency and economic performance of potato production. Farmers obtained average tuber yield of 24.90 t/ha which was higher than the average yield of Bangladesh (14.90 t/ha) but close to potential yield (25-30 t/ha) of diamant and cardinal varieties. The estimated results showed that gross margin and BCR for potato cultivation were Tk. 174319/ha and 2.40, respectively. The average level of technical efficiency among the sample farmers was 75%. This implies that given the existing technology and level of inputs the output could be increased by 25%. Training on the potato production, extension linkage and quality seed played a significant role in the technical efficiency of the potato production.
