Level and Composition of Capital in Irrigated Agriculture of Bangladesh : Evidence from Tubewell Irrigated Villages of Comilla and Rajshahi

Mahmudul Alam

 

Abstract

The present study tries to analyse how far the agrarian structural factors like tenancy and scale are related to the level and composition of capital accumulation. Two tubewell irrigated villages of two different agro-ecological areas of Bangladesh have been picked up for the study. The paper implicitly employs the Schultzian model as its analytical framework. The study broadly confirm’s the Schultzian hypothesis that tenancy acts as an obstacle to ownership of capital items.
