Abstrakt: A comparative study was conducted in Modi Rural Municipality, Phalebas Municipality and Kushma Municipality of Parbat district aimed to compare the input use, productivity and profitability of rice grain and seed production among different socio-demographic farmers. Sampling 135 household, the survey employed a purposive selection of survey areas and stratified simple random sampling. Semi-structured questionnaire were utilized for interviews, with data analyzed using SPSS and MS Excel. The study obscurely shows that the respondents practicing rice seed production have higher year of schooling and training attended than the respondent practicing rice grain production. Further, the seed producers are in direct exposure to quality seed and fertilizer subsidy leading to production cost. It showed that the gross income received from rice seed production was higher than of grain production. The analysis showed that the productivity of rice as a seed production (575.81±277.80 kg/ropani) was found to be significantly higher than grain production (378.19 ± 151.3 kg/ropani). On an average, BCR of seed production (2.22) was found significantly higher than rice grain production (1.44). Hence, the productivity and profitability of seed production is higher than grain production in rice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
