Gender analysis in farm activities in a selected area of Jamalpur district.

A study was conducted in four villages of the Farming Systems Research and Development site Narikeli, Jamalpur, Bangladesh, to investigate female participation in farm activities, work responsibility and the decision making pattern of farm families. Data were collected from 120 women in 1998. The study shows that women were mostly busy with postharvest operations in crop production, decision making process in their families and in other farm activities. Also, women were involved in selling agricultural products, taking care of gardening and purchasing household products. Both males and females were engaged in the preservation of seed. Women were very much involved in postharvest activities including seed and food grain preservation.
