This paper attempts to analyze the costs, revenues and production problems of tomato in two districts namely Cumilla and Rangpur in Bangladesh. It is necessary to enunciate that through purposive sampling technique, the data were collected from 240 tomato cultivators of Cumilla and Rangpur districts. The essentials of tomato’s production include human labour, fertilizer, bamboo stick, thread, seed/seedlings, ploughing, irrigation, insecticides/pesticides, hormone, etc. It is also indispensable to count the transport costs here. The mentioned factors were collectively considered to estimate the cost of production of tomato. All the data were analyzed statistically and economically while their results have been substantiated through consecutive tables. Farmers are facing different types of problems and this research highlights this issue. The findings show that the total cost of tomato was higher in Cumilla (Tk. 155,515/acre) than that of Rangpur (Tk. 151,224/acre). Gross returns from tomato in Cumilla and Rangpur were Tk. 234,942/acre and Tk. 212,213/acre respectively. The net returns were found higher in Cumilla (Tk. 77,010/acre) than that of Rangpur (Tk. 60,989/acre). Undiscounted benefit cost ratio of tomato production per acre was found to be 1.51 and 1.40 on the basis of total cost for Cumilla and Rangpur districts respectively. The high price of input, lack of storage facilities, price fluctuation, insect and disease damage were the most salient constraints in producing tomato. Up-to-date policy and well-organized extension services have, therefore, to be ensured to augment the income as well as the employment opportunities of the tomato growers.
