Abstract


In an agrarian county like India agriculture is the back bone as farming is the major occupation of its livelihood, likewise income from agriculture is the major player in economic development. With gamble of climate the population getting involved in the backbone is showing a negative trend ultimately showing a ghastly rise in unemployment. With this background it becomes imperative to give a stabilized and profitable income source from agriculture. When all the possible alternatives are dug in one thing can be noticed that increase in income due to increase in production has already reached a plateau where no further increase can be expected. Then all the possible alternatives needs to be explored focussing on decreasing cost of cultivation and increasein value addition chain for better marketability.
