Economics of agroforestry systems: some examples and lessons from Bangladesh
1988
Rahman, Afzalur
Site condition, spacing, input requirements, management system and productivity in respect of lemon cultivation at some selected Betagi Community Forestry Project plots have been reported. The benefit-cost ratio and internal rate of return have been calculated. Commercial and welfare aspects of lemon cultivation have been discussed. Attempt has been made to throw some light to the question: What should be the optimum proportion of land which should be socially desireable to utilize for lemon production in a given plot. The technology developed at Betagi shows clearly what the landless farmers or Jhumias rehabilitated in other areas can do.
