Women from both urban and rural areas are coming out of their houses and trying to get them involved in diversified on-farm and off-farm activities for survival. Increasing trend of landlessness and many other socio-economic reasons compel them to do so. This study focussed on the performance of income generating activities of a group of destitute women of Kurigram district of Bangladesh. The women are organized for working under supervision of two non-government organizations working in the locality. Under these organizations they are engaged in jute and allied fiber based handicrafts production. Now it become an important source of income for them and provides substantial support to their family covering about 12 % of the total income. However, in operating the craft, both the women and organizations faced some major problems like capital deficiency, price and marketing constraints, unavailability of inputs/implements, lack of knowledge on modern techniques, malnutrition and illiteracy, etc. In this regard, credit arrangement, improvement of marketing facilities, availability of production inputs/implements, training on technical and managerial skills, creation of diversified employment opportunities and educational programmes need to be undertaken for further development of the sector. |

The study was undertaken to determine the economic performance of tossa (Corchorus olitorius ) jute at growers level. The results revealed that per hectare average cost of production of Tossa Jute were Tk.16538.91 and Tk.8106.09 on variable cost and cash cost basis, respectively while per hectare gross return was estimated to Tk.28375.85. The average yield of Tossa jute was 1720.16 kg ha -1. The yield was higher in Faridpur (1826.40 kg ha -1) compared to Rangpur (1669.07 kg ha -1 ) and Dhaka (1665 kg ha -1 ). The gross margins were Tk.11836.94 ha -1 and Tk.20269.75 ha -1 on total variable cost and cash cost basis respectively. The average benefit-cost ratios were 1.72 and 3.50 respectively on total variable cost and cash cost basis. Lower price of fibre, non-availability of HYV seeds at proper time, shortage of buyers, high input cost, absence of fair price in terms of fibre quality etc. were addressed as problems by the farmers.
