The present study was carried out with a view to estimate the marketing cost, margins, price spread and marketing efficiency for okra grown in Banaskantha district of north Gujarat in the year 2010-11. The conclusion drawn from the study was that the average yield per hectare of okra was estimated to be and 143.90 quintals. The highest disposal was found of April (20.78 %) and lowest was in December (0.65 %). The highest price was in December (Rs. 3200/q) and lowest was in October (Rs. 1073/q). The overall per quintal cost of marketing of okra was estimated to be Rs. 271.50.Among the various cost components, commission charges were 36.83 per cent, grading and packing charges were 16.57 per cent, loading, unloading and weighing charges were 18.41 per cent followed by transportation charges 13.61 per cent of the total marketing costs. The total price spread was observed 39 per cent of consumer's price when produce was sold through wholesalers and retailers. The marketing efficiency estimated for okra was 1.56 for Deesa market in North Gujarat.Keywords

Several Integrated Farming Systems were observed under rain fed as well as irrigated situation in Bharuch and Surat districts of South Gujarat through survey conducted in 144 households through multistage random sampling technique. The study was pertaining the data of the year 2009- 10. Besides this, number of constraints were seen which were faced by the farmers to carry out the systems. The highest per cent of peoples are engaged in sugarcane based farming system with recording 40.28 per cent whereas, lowest in live stock based with having only 1.39 per cent.Keywords

India produces 70 per cent of global spice production (105100 MT of total production in 2010). In Gujarat state, cumin is grown mostly in the northern district of the state i.e. Mehsana, Banaskantha and Patan district. Cumin was grown under 2,16,000 hectares in Gujarat state, out of this 39897 hectare was contributed by Banaskantha district during the year 2011-12. The aimed of this study was to analyze the cultivation/production cost of cumin and to find return over cost. The study is based on data collected from 108 farmers selected from six villages selected purposively and one regulated market i.e., Tharad of Banaskantha district of Gujarat state. It was calculated that the average total cost of cultivation of cumin was 48905/- Rs. per hectare and net income of cumin was 39852/- Rs. per hectare for the year 2012-2013. The cost of cultivation of cumin for small farmers was higher as compared to medium and large size farmers. Major inputs cost was small farmers contributed 33.09 per cent to total cost of cultivation which was 8.60, 20.34 and 4.15 per cent, for seed, human labour and fertilizer, respectively. The cost of cultivation (cost C2) for small size group of farmers was estimated 55592 Rs. /ha.Keywords

An attempt was made to study the major constraints of farmers of sabarkantha district. Out of 13 block one high productive and one low productive block were selected purposively. Three villages from each block were selected randomly making the sample size of 321. The constraints were worked out by using Garrett’s Ranking Technique. The major constraints faced by the farmers were lack of technical advice/know-how, non-availability of farm credit, lack of improved variety suitable to region, lack of irrigation water, high cost of inputs, inadequate/irregular supply of electricity, scarcity of farm labour, social factors (adopting piggery/poultry), and problems of pigs. The major constraints faced by the farmers in the studied area of the district were ranked using Garrett’s ranking technique and found that problem of pigs and bluebull (Nilgay) ranked 1st, High cost of input (seed/fertilizer/pesticides. etc) ranked 2nd, Lack of technical advice/know-how ranked 3rd.Keywords
