The present study was conducted to assess economics of marigold cultivation under contract farming vis-a-vis non-contract farming in erode district of Tamil Nadu and to examine the yield and price uncertainty, contractual arrangements in marigold cultivation. There were no price uncertainties in contract farming whereas there were very high price uncertainties in the case of noncontract farming. Farmers were satisfied with terms of contract. The major benefits to the contract farmers were assured buyer for the produce, all the produce can be sold even in case of damage and the farm gate collection. Important reason given by the former contract farmers for discontinuing cultivation of marigold on contract was low price for the produce.Keywords

This study is on the production and marketing of banana crop in the Tiruchirappalli district of Tamil Nadu. It is based on the data collected from 120 banana- producers in the blocks of Andanallur and Musiri during 2010-2011. The study has revealed that banana cultivation in Tamil Nadu is profitable enterprise as the net returns have been found to be Rs. 32793.96 and Rs. 37339.70 for Karpooravalli and Poovan banana, respectively. The total cost of cultivation was Rs. 140691.04 for Karpooravalli and Rs. 123220.30 for Poovan banana farms. Cost of production per bunch for Karpooravalli farms was higher (Rs. 61.23) when compared to Poovan (Rs. 51.73) farms. Gross income per hectare was the highest for Karpooravalli farms (Rs. 173485) when compared to Poovan farms (Rs. 160560). The banana - producers have been found to be follow three channels for the marketing of banana; channel I: Producer → Pre harvest contractor → Commission agent → Retailer → Consumer; channel II: Producer → Wholesaler → Retailer → Consumer; channel III: Producer →Commission agent → Retailer → Consumer. The marketing cost has been found to be higher channel II when banana was sold through channel I due to commission charges, transport charges and loading and unloading charges were contributed major proportion. The producer share has been computed as 59.06 per cent in the channel II. The study has suggested that measures need to be adopted to increase access of farmers to market information and they should be educated to sell their produce in the regulated markets which fetch higher returns as compared to village level marketing.Keywords

The present study assessed the virtual water trade and comparative advantages in rice exports. It suggests realigning the Indian rice ecosystem based on the demand–supply gap, groundwater exploitation, productivity growth and untapped productivity potential. It also advocates the phased shifting of acreage under common (non-basmati) rice production to potential regions identified as suitable. The proposed shifting of cultivation will lead to achieving a sustainable rice ecosystem, conserving the natural resource base and reducing risk in terms of environmental and economic factors. Emerging practices such as dry direct-seeded rice, and the system of rice intensification could be effectively used for sustainable rice ecosystem in India.Keywords
