Abstract: During the past decade, increasing attention has been given to the role of agriculture in the process of economic development. One aspect of the discussion has concerned the significance of relative prices for farmer in decisionmaking. Recent studies have yielded estimates of supply elasticities for jute in East Pakistan, and for cotton, wheat, and several other crops in West Pakistan, so that a basic body of information is beginning to emerge. The main purpose of this note is to supplement these studies by presenting estimates of the price elasticity of supply for rice in East Pakistan. However, since rice and jute are the main alternate crops in East Pakistan. supply elasticities for jute will also be presented.
