The present investigation aims in studying the Crop diversification in Akola district. The present study was based on secondary data collected from different government publications. The data covered a period of 15 years i.e., 1995-96 to 2009-10. In all 6 crops were considered for study. Herfindahl index and entropy index has been used to study the extent of crop diversification. In order to study the economics of crop diversification, land concentration was computed for selected years. Tahsilwise analysis showed that the area under Kharif Jowar has found to be decreased in all the tahsils of Akola district. Area under soybean crop was increased in Balapur and Murtijapur tahsil. The area under Wheat has found to be increased in Akot and Patur tahsils. Cotton still remains as major crop of the district. In Akot, Balapur, Murtijapur and Patur tahsils along with Akola district crop diversification has significantly increased during the study period. The diversification from subsistence crop to more commercial crops were took place in selected tahsils. Cotton and Soybean shows increasing land concentration ratio from year 1995-96 to 2009-10, so soybean is more adventitious crops in Akot, Balapur, Murtijapur and Patur tahsils of Akola district.Keywords

The study has been examined the growth rates of area, production and productivity of major crops and changes in cropping pattern in Akola district of Vidarbha. The present study was based on secondary data collected from different government publications. The data covered a period of 15 years i.e., 1995-96 to 2009-10. In all 6 crops were considered for study. These crops covered more than 80 per cent of the total cropped area of the study area. The growth rate was used to examine performance of major crops, Simple tabular analysis was used to examine the changes in cropping pattern in Akola district. The analysis showed that the area under Kharif jowar has found to be decreased in of Akola district. Area under soybean crop was increased in Akola district. The area under wheat has found to be increased and Cotton still remains as major crop of the district.Keywords

The present study was a modest attempt to marketing analysis of organic and inorganic jaggery production in the Kolhapur district of Maharashtra in 2011-12. In marketing of jaggery, three marketing channels were identified in the study area. They were Channel-I: Producer → Primary Wholesaler → Retailer → Consumer, Channel-II: Producer → Commission agent → Secondary Wholesaler → Retailer → Consumer and Channel-III: Producer → Commission agent → Distant Wholesaler → Retailer → Consumer. The quantity sold through the channel-III was more than channel-I and channel-II for both of category. It is also examine that the marketing cost in channel III (Rs. 516.32) was relatively high as compared to channel II (Rs.383.58) and channel I (Rs.330.48) for organic jaggery the same results were observed in case of inorganic jaggery i.e. marketing cost in channel III (Rs. 482.15) was relatively high as compared to channel II (Rs. 352.37) and channel I (Rs. 286.93). This may be due to relatively more transportation, commission, packaging, unloading and loading charges in case of Channel III than Channel II and Channel I.At overall level the price spread was Rs. 988.66 and 939.46 for organic and inorganic jaggery, respectively. The channel wise price paid was the highest as Rs. 1208.69 in channel-III, followed by Rs .981.48 in channel-II and Rs. 775.82 in channel-I in organic jaggery whereas for inorganic jaggery it was Rs. 1158.30 in channel-III, followed by Rs. 916.89 in channel-II and Rs. 743.18 in channel-I, respectively. At overall level marketing efficiency of organic and inorganic jaggery was 127.44 per cent and 128.51 per cent, respectively.Keywords
