ThesisItem Open Access Economic analysis of production and marketing of milk in Rewari district of Haryana(CCSHAU, 2014) Manish Kumar; Dhillon, AshokThe study on “Economic Analysis of Production and Marketing of Milk in Rewari District of Haryana” was done with the following objectives: (1) To work out the cost and return of milk production. (2) To study the different marketing channels and their efficiency. (3) To study the constraints in production and marketing of milk in study area. The present study was conducted in Rewari district of Haryana were selected purposively. Rewari and Bawal two blocks were selected randomly. Two villages from each block were selected randomly and out of each village 30 farmers were selected randomly. Finally 120 farmers from randomly selected two blocks from the district were selected for the present study. On the basis of the nature of data, various statistical and economic tools were used for estimation of cost and returns of production, marketing costs and margins. The study revealed that the maintenance cost of a cow and buffalo for a year was found to be Rs. 25655 and Rs. 30311 of this total maintenance cost, 80 per cent was the variable cost and 20 per cent was as the fixed cost. With respect to various categories, the maintenance cost of buffalo and cow was found a little lower in small category than large category. This may be due to better management by large category than small category. The average gross returns per cow were Rs. 46953 and per buffalo were Rs. 60102 per year which is much higher than in case of cow. The average net returns per cow were Rs. 21198 and per buffalo were Rs. 29790 per year respectively. The net returns per cow and buffalo too increased with the size of herds. The higher returns in large category were mainly due to higher number of cross-breed cows and better feeding of feeds and fodders than the other category. While, comparing the results for different channels, it was observed that the major share of the produce marketed through channel III (Producer → Cooperative societies → Milk plant → Consumer) while the producer’s share in consumer’s rupee was more in direct sale as compared to the other channel due to the elimination of market intermediaries. Marketing efficiency worked out in milk marketing showed that channel I (Producer – Consumer) was most efficient marketing channel. Major problems faced by the milk producers in production of milk were accounted as lack of good quality of breeds, insemination facility, veterinary services, green fodder and high prices of feed, lack of technical skills for housing and feeding, and lack of equipment in veterinary hospitals. Problems faced in marketing of milk were accounted as inadequate marketing intelligence, lack of good procurement centre, transportation, lower prices of milk, lack of A.I. facilities, dispute over quality of milk and irregular and delaying in payment.ThesisItem Open Access Production and Export Potential of Floriculture in Haryana(College of Agriculture Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 2002) Dhillon, Ashok; Khatkar, R.
