Jamalpur and Kurigram. The sample farmers were profitable to cultivate Binadhan-11 in the study area. Cobb-Douglas
production function was applied for estimating the Binadhan-11 production function which implied the factors affecting
with respect to labor and seedling cost that were positive values at Mymensingh, Sherpur and Jamalpur district
respectively. Fertilizer, insecticide and power tiller that were positive values of 0.233, 0.121 and 0.234 and also
significant. The reasons that hamper the achievement of goals are defined as problems whereas suggestions are
indications of some measures to overcome these problems. The Binadhan-11 producers faced some major problems such
