The present study was undertaken in South Konkan region of Maharashtra state. Cluster analysis is a multivariate statistical procedure that starts with data set containing information about a sample of entities into attempts to reorganize these entities into relatively homogeneous groups or groups of highly similar entities, called as "clusters". The variables were based on the set of 23 agroclimatic characteristics. The analysis has classified in to all 17 Tahsils of South Konkan region into two distinct clusters. It was concluded from the study that cluster analysis technique is useful in spatial classification, which can be further used for making development policy in general agriculture in particular for deciding the region specific cropping as well fanning systems.Keywords

Fruits are nature’s wonderful gift to mankind. Pineapple is an important commercial fruit crop with high export value. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the economic analysis of pineapple production in Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra pertained to the years 2013-16 with a view to analyse resource use pattern, cost and returns and farm business analysis. The study was based on the primary data collected from tenant growers of Dodamarg tahsil in Sindhudurg district. Per hectare physical input utilization pattern indicated that there was higher utilization of inputs such as hired labour, fertilizers and plant protection chemicals. Per hectare cost of cultivation and the net returns amounted to Rs. 588220 and Rs. 993511 for the three years with an overall benefit cost ratio of 2.68. The farm business analysis indicated that the pineapple cultivation was highly profitable in all the three years.Keywords

This paper has analysed the disposal pattern of pineapple fruit (Ananas comosus L.) and constraints in their production and disposal using primary data pertained to the years 2013-16 collected from a sample of 20 tenant growers of five villages in Dodamarg tahsil of Sindhudurg district. The study has found that more than 90 per cent of the produce were marketed in all the three years The problem of high cost of planting material, non-availability of hired labour are felt by majority of the pineapple growers as constraints in production followed by fluctuation in market prices, post harvest lossess in case of disposal of produce.Keywords

An attempt has been made to study the price spread, marketing efficiency and constraints in marketing of mango in South Konkan region of Maharashtra. Primary data were collected from various stakeholders constituting 100 farmers and 50 intermediaries in various channels. Five marketing channels of Alphonso were identified in study area. Intermediaries like retailer, wholesaler, wholesalercum commission agent and village merchant took more profit margins in channel I, II, III, and IV compared to channel V. The marketing efficiency was higher in channel V (11.00) and poor marketing efficiency was found in the channel I and II. From the result it showed that the movement of mango from farmers to consumer at lowest cost consistent in channel V which benefit both farmers and consumer. The major constraints faced by farmers in marketing of mango were high fluctuation in market price (91.00%), poor roads and unavailability of transport facility in time (83.00%), low price to mangoes (80.00%), and high transport cost (65.00%), high cost of packaging material (63.00%), late fruiting result in less price (61.00%) and dependent on intermediaries (60.00%).Keywords

The average overall post-harvest losses in alphonso mango from field level to marketing level including all marketing operations estimated to 32.29 per cent. In monetary term, at individual farmer level, the total of Rs. 1.37 lakh had been estimated as post-harvest losses, out of that Rs. 0.46 lakh losses were accounted at field level of individual farmer and Rs. 0.91 lakh of losses were accounted at performing various marketing activities.
