Abstract

The findings of the study reveal that the small, medium, large goat rearers and goat farms with average herd size (including below and above one year) were 13.71, 21.28, 34.21, 73.30, respectively. Increase in stock at the end of the year was 14.21, 21.74, 34.55, 75.10, respectively in case of small, medium, large categories of goat rearers and goat farms. Average total cost incurred was found to be Rs. 28094.76, Rs. 41816.50, Rs. 58966.38 and Rs. 146114.10, respectively towards small, medium, large goat rearers and goat farms. The average capital investment was Rs. 45299.38, Rs. 66820.02, Rs. 109207.81, Rs. 67822.24, Rs. 213357.40, respectively towards small, medium, large, overall goat rearers and goat farms.

Abstract

The present study entitled, "Impact of farm pond's on farmer's economy in Amravati district: A comparative analysis. The study was undertaken to examine the impact of farm pond's on production of major crops. For the present study, 40 beneficiary farmers having farm pond's and 40 non-beneficiary farmer's without farm pond's on their field were selected from Morshi tahsils of Amravati district. 5 villages from Morshi tahsil were selected purposively and, from each village 8 beneficiary farmers and 8 non-beneficiary farmers were selected randomly. The selected farmers were classified into three category viz., small, medium, large according to their size of land holding. The primary data was collected from the farmers by survey method and standard costs concept i.e., cost 'A', cost 'B' and cost 'C' was used for the analysis of data.

Keywords

Cost, Return, Profitability of Soybean.

Abstract

In this study, an attempt has been made to study analysis of yield gap in wheat in Amravati district with view to study the economics of wheat production and resource use efficiency. The study was based on primary data on input used and there upon costs was collected from two tehsils viz., Amravati and Morshi and from each tahsil 45 samples were selected. Per hectare input utilization for wheat indicated that the medium farmers were used higher inputs as compared to other farm size group of farmers. Per hectare total cost of cultivation of wheat for the sample as whole was Rs. 37235.99 per hectare, gross return from wheat at overall level was Rs. 63861.60. The input-output relationship at overall size group was 1.76 at Cost 'C For the study resource use efficiency of wheat, Cobb-Douglas production function was used. In the overall group resources seed, plant protection and area were significant. Marginal value of product to factor cost ratio at overall group, in case of Human labour, bullock labour and seed was positive and more than one and in case of machine labour, fertilizer, manure, plant protection and area it was negative and less than one.

Abstract

In the present investigation, an attempt was made to study the decomposition and acreage response of chickpea in western Vidarbha. The study was based on time series secondary data on the rainfall, farm harvest price and other data, which were obtained from various Government publications. Nerlovian lagged adjustment model (1958) was used in acreage response analysis based on time series data. The study revealed that the compound growth rate for area and production under chickpea was recorded high during period I in all the districts. During period II, the area, production and productivity of chickpea registered mostly negative growth rates in all the districts. During period III, the compound growth rate for area, production and productivity under chickpea has increased in all the districts of western Vidarbha region. During overall period, the co-efficient of variation and Coppock's instability index for area, production were high in Yavatmal district compared to other districts. At overall period, the area effect (37.44%) was most responsible factor for increasing production in Amravati division with positive yield and interaction effect i.e., 6.78 per cent and 55.69 per cent, respectively.

Abstract

In this study an attempt had been made to study the growth and instability of soybean in Amravati division. The study was based on secondary data on area, production and productivity of soybean, FHP and rainfall, collected from the various Government publications. The study revealed that compound growth rates for area, production and productivity of soybean was recorded positive. The growth rate for area, production and productivity was recorded high during period I. The co-efficient of variation and coppock's instability index with regards to area (1.08 and 0.62) productivity (2.00 and 1.62) were lowest in Akola and Amavati district, respectively, whereas production was recorded lowest co-efficient of variation and coppock's instability index in Akola district (0.86 and 0.48). At overall period, area effect, yield effect, and interaction effect do not show any influence on one another. The study also reveals that, the short run price elasticity were comparatively higher than the long run price elasticity in soybean, which indicated that the farmers were relatively market oriented in their decision in long run than in the short turn.
