The present study was undertaken to examine the labour utilisation pattern of member weaver household of cooparative and non-member weaver household in handloom silk weaving and there by to assess whether there has been any differences in labour utililisation among two categories of respondent.The study was carried out in five villages of Sualkuchi area of Kamrup district of Assam where most of the weavers' cooperatives are prevalent. Primary data were collected from 150 respondents comprising of 100 member weaver household of the coopertaive and 50 non-member weaver household of the same locality to analyse the impact made by the handloom silk weavers' cooperative on their member weaver household in labour utilisation.The study reveals that the annual household employment from weaving in member household was significantly higher (432.05 mandays) than the non-member household (t = 5.24∗∗). Average annual labour employment in weaving per loom in member household was higher than the non-member household.Similarly; absolute share of labour employment per loom in all the operations was higher in member household than the non-member household. It is also observed that hired labour accounted for the major share in the annual employment per loom in all the size groups of member and nonmember household.Keywords

The study was conducted to examine the marketing pattern of banana in Nagaon district of Assam. The marketing process of banana in the study area was facilitated by various market intermediaries like pre harvest Contractors cum Processor (Distant), Pre harvest Contractors cum wholesaler, Distant Wholesaler, Local traders etc. The pre-harvest contractors play a vital role in marketing of banana in the district. Out of the six marketing channels identified in the study area, major portion of produces were sold through channel II (Producer-Pre harvest Contractors cum wholesaler-Distant Wholesaler-Distant Retailers-Consumers) where the pre-harvest contractors cum wholesalers directly brought the produces to distant markets and sold to distant wholesalers and thereby to distant retailers and then to consumers. Within the district major marketing channel was observed to be channel IV (Producer-Wholesalers-retailers-consumers) where 26.53 per cent of the total produce by the sample farms were routed to the ultimate consumers through the wholesalers and retailers. Channel V (Producer-Retailers-Consumers) was found to be the most efficient channel in marketing of banana in Nagaon district with the efficiency index of 1.764 (following the Shepherds’ approach) involving middlemen.Keywords

The study was conducted to examine the post harvest loss of banana in Nagaon district of Assam.Average farm level post harvest loss of banana in the sample farms was found to be 0.309 per cent of the total production, which ranged between 0.315 per cent in marginal farms to 0.305 per cent in medium farms. At producer level post harvest loss of fruits occurred due to damage of fruits because of delayed harvesting of over ripped fruits, crushing/ breakage of fruits during harvesting and due to breakage and crushing of fruits during transportation, highest post harvest loss of banana at intermediary level was observed at the pre harvest contractor cum wholesaler level (13.78%) followed by local wholesaler level (13.58%) and distant wholesaler level (13.01). At retailers’ level post harvest loss was found to be 6.69 per cent of total. It was observed that among various stages of marketing of banana post harvest loss was found maximum during transportation followed by storage. Total post harvest loss of banana in the study area of Nagaon district was found to be 19.93 per cent of total production of the sample farms.Keywords
