In India, floriculture is emerging as an important commercial crop. A lot of importance has been given to this sector due to its multiple uses, satisfying the aesthetic needs of the people, creating more employment, ensuring higher rate of returns to rural people and facilitating earning more foreign exchange. More specifically, they are being used as raw materials in the manufacture of essence, perfumes, medicines and confectioneries for direct consumption by the society.Agriculture supply is uncertain and this uncertainty in supply leads to fluctuations in prices. The broad objective of study was to examine price behavior of major flowers in Pune. The data on arrivals and prices of flower crop under study for the period of 10 years i.e. from 2005-14 were used. The data were collected from the records of Gultekhadi market Pune. The results indicated that annual growth trend was maximum during 2011-12 in areas and production of loose flowers. Annual growth trend was maximum during 2009-10 in production of cut flowers. The study indicated positive percentage change in prices of gerbera (+15.25%) and negative in prices of roses (-22.83). Maximum negative percentage change was observed in case of arrivals of gerbera. Trends in arrivals and prices of rose in gultekhadi market shows decreasing trends from year 2005 to 2014. In case of gerbera decreasing trends was observed in arrivals and increasing trends in prices. Co-efficient of variation of real prices was found to be lowest in gerbera.Keywords

Agriculture supply is uncertain and this uncertainty in supply leads to fluctuations in prices by two ways seasonal effects and cyclical effects. The broad objective of study was to examine price behaviour of important agricultural commodity green gram in Akola district. The data on arrivals and prices of green gram crop under study for the period of 20 years i.e. from 1987-06 were used. The data were collected from the records of Akola APMC. The results indicated that compound growth rate of production and arrival were found to be positively associated in period I (1987-96) of study and negatively associated in period II (1997-2006) of study for Akola APMC. Despite pronounced seasonality in arrivals there were negligible variations in seasonal prices of green gram. Cyclical fluctuations were found to be more pronounced than seasonal fluctuations in prices. This showed that when maximum production is there, prices decreased and increased during the pre harvest month. The C.V. was seen lowest for green gram crop.Keywords

Farmers earn better from innovative use of available resources and the tourist can enjoy village life and nature in an affordable prices. Not only are those, the villages also benefited due to the development of agro-tourism. Some cases of agro-tourism in Maharashtra dist. Raigad; Pune and Satara have proved that agro-tourism not only bring development of farmers but to the village as a whole from social and economic angle. Maharashtra is the third largest state in India, both in area and population. It is bestowed with 720 km long coastline. It is nestled in the Western Ghats and Sahyadri mountain ranges and with semievergreen and deciduous forests. Maharashtra is one of the major tourist centres in the India and there is large scope and great potential to develop agro-tourism. The scope of the study is limited to identify the satisfaction level and motivating factors for visiting agro-tourism. The present study was conducted on the Parasher agro-tourism at post Rajuri Taluka Junner district Pune is based on primary data. A sample of 60 visitors is selected at random to know their preferences to Parasher Agro- tourism. The primary data were collected through a direct interview schedule through a well designed questionnaire.

Mushroom cultivation is of recent origin in India. It is mainly cultivated on the hills as it requires low temperature for its growth; however with the advent of modern cultivation technology it is now possible to cultivate this mushroom seasonally under uncontrolled conditions and throughout the year by employing environmentally controlled conditions. In the last fifteen years, large numbers of commercials units have been built by the entrepreneurs throughout the country for the production of oyster mushrooms. But presence of more than 90 per cent moisture content, they are highly perishable and start deteriorating immediately after harvest. They develop brown colour on the surface due the enzymatic action of phenol oxidase, this result in shorter shelf-life. In view of their high perishable nature, the fresh mushroom have to be processed to extend their shelf-life for off season use by adopting appropriate post – harvest technology to process surplus mushrooms into novel value – added products. The total cost of spawn production was 45.87 Rs. /kg, of which fixed cost constitute .67 Rs. /kg and variable cost was 45.30 Rs. / kg Break Even Quantity of spawn production and Break Even Returns were 2417 kg. and Rs. 142120, respectively. The per piece total cost of mushroom spring roll production and mushroom bread roll were Rs. 16.90 and Rs. 15.48, respectively. Amongst total cost of production cost maximum cost incurred on raw material, followed by labour charges in both the process products. Benefit cost ratio of Himgiree Hi – Tech Agro was 1.24 which is greater than one. Internal rate of return was 26%. It shows that this project is financially feasible.Keywords
