ThesisItem Open Access Production and Export potential of Tomato and its processed products in India(CCSHAU, 2015) Punia, Meenu; Mehta, V.P.India ranks second in the area as well as in production of tomato next to China. In total world production, the share of China and India was 23.61 and 8.49 per cent, respectively. The surplus production of tomato causes glut in the market, causing distress sale and low profit to the growers and the probable solutions to the problem is to export the surplus tomato production in fresh or processed form. The present study has made an attempt to have Production and Export Potential of Tomato and its processed products in India with these objectives, (1) to study the trends in area, production and productivity of tomato in India, (2) to analyze the performance and trends in export of tomato and its processed products, (3) to analyze the contribution of Haryana in production and export of tomato. The present study is based on secondary data which were collected from various issues of the Statistical Abstract of Haryana, agricultural statistics at a glance and economic survey of India and other published and unpublished sources. Linear growth rates were computed by fitting linear function and least square technique was used to compute the compound growth rates by fitting exponential function. The regression analysis was carried out for a time span, using the ordinary least squares (OLS) method. In overall period (1991-2014), area, production and productivity of India increased at a compound annual growth rate of 4.9, 6.4 and 1.1 per cent per annum. RCA in both tomatoes and tomato products was far less than unity and the RSCA were negative, almost -1. Fresh tomatoes contributed maximum in the export basket of India. In overall period (1991-2013), area and production of Haryana increased at a compound annual growth rate of 9.1 and 6.7 per cent and productivity declined by 2.1 per cent per annuum. Haryana’s rank was12th in tomato production with 2.2 per cent share. The values of CV in export of tomato and its products, except fresh tomatoes, came down during the second period than first period, which indicated that export of tomato and tomato products from India became more stable during the second period than first period. The study reveals that the existence of high instability in export of tomato and its products require the attention of policymakers to retain hold on the international market. Tomato is an important vegetable-cum-processing crop of India. Its productivity is very low. So, there is need to popularize the improved production technology and processing varieties. Market survey of importing countries should have to be done to strengthen the export in the upcoming years. Government should declare support price for tomato crop prior to its sowing season and implement, “Crop Insurance Scheme” as the crop is highly perishable.ThesisItem Open Access Economic analysis of vegetable cultivation under polyhouses in Haryana(CCSHAU, 2015) Parveen Kumar; Chauhan, R.S.Vegetables are the main source of vitamins and minerals. The vegetables also offer better crop diversification and crop intensification. During winter season under north Indian conditions, it is extremely difficult to grow capsicum, cucumber in open field conditions; however various types of protected structures have been developed for growing some high value crops continuously by providing favorable environment condition and giving protection from the excessive cold and this is called polyhouse technology. The present study has made an attempt to have Economic analysis of vegetable cultivation under polyhouses in Haryana with these objectives. 1. To study the present status of polyhouse cultivation in Haryana. 2. To compare the economics of vegetable cultivation under polyhouse & open field conditions. 3. To identify the constraints and to assess the prospects of vegetable cultivation under polyhouses. The present study was conducted in Karnal district of Haryana selected purposely on the basis of maximum number of polyhouses in the state. Two blocks were selected randomly, i.e. Gharaundha and Indri. Again, two villages from each block were selected on the basis of predominance of vegetable cultivation both under polyhouses & open field conditions. Ten respondent farmers each under polyhouses & open field conditions were randomly selected from each village, thus making a total sample of 80 respondents. On the basis of the nature of the data, simple statistical tools like averages and percentage were used to compare, contrast and interpret results properly. The primary data for the agriculture year 2013-14 were collected by survey method by conducting personal interviews of the selected farmers with the help of specially designed schedule. The overall findings reveal that in polyhouses, farmers adopted three cropping pattern R1, R2 and R3 i.e. tomato-cucumber (R1), capsicum-cucumber (R2) and cucumber-cucumber-cucumber (R3) respectively. The cost of cultivation for R1, R2 and R3 were ₹607720.36, ₹581816.43 and ₹849876.2 per acre respectively. In comparative economics analysis the cost of cultivation of selected vegetables tomato, capsicum and cucumber under polyhouses were higher as compared to open field conditions by ₹206816.90, ₹246564.40 and ₹185651 per acre respectively. The net retunes from polyhouses were higher as compared to open field conditions by ₹51097.54, ₹124870.01 and ₹97138.68 per acre respectively. The results of the study revealed that the vegetables cultivation under polyhouses have contributed to the yield significantly. The major constraint reported by the respondent farmers were short life of polyethylene sheet, infestation of insect, nematodes & diseases, high cost of fertilizers and seeds. The constraints in the marketing of vegetable were lack of minimum support price, high price fluctuations, lack of market information and high cost of transportation.ThesisItem Open Access Economic analysis of production and marketing of baby corn in sonipat district of Haryana(CCSHAU, 2018) Sonu Ram; Parminder SinghThe present study was undergone to analyze the cost and returns, marketing cost, margin, price spread and constraints in production and marketing of baby corn in Sonipat district of Haryana. To derive the inferences of the study, the primary data were collected from 60 farmers i.e. 30farmers each from two villages i.e. Rajpura and Aterna which acted as ultimate unit of the sample. The required data on various aspects on production and marketing of baby corn were collected from 60 farmers and 10 market intermediaries. In baby corn production, the major components in total cost of cultivation was rental value of land, harvesting, weeding and fertilizer use. Net return per hectare was found to be ` 146012.50 in Sonipat district. Benefit cost ratio was 2.28, in which large farmers recorded significant cost benefit ratio. In the study of Baby corn, the following two marketing channels were found i.e. Producer → Processing mill, and Producer → Wholesaler → Retailer → Consumer. The channel-I was found to be more efficient, receiving highest share in the crops. There is a need to improve the marketing infrastructural facilities from time to time and ensure effectiveness of marketing channels. The main production constraints noticed were high cost of seeds & non availability of quality seeds in time (80%), relatively high harvesting cost (60%),lack of awareness about value addition at farmers level (35%) and sub optimal input use (33.00%). The main marketing constraints observed from the analysis of the study that are delay in sale of produce (63.00%), no open auction sale of produce facility (58.00 ), arbitrary rate fixation of baby corn by commission agents ( 55%), forced money lending by commission agents on high interest rate ( 48%), unauthorised marketing charges by commission agents( 46%), lack of interest and awareness of farmer in marketing of baby corn( 36 %) and low selling price during the months May-August ( 30% ) were the major constraints in the marketing of baby corn.ThesisItem Open Access Market Integration and price volatility of cotton in Haryana(CCSHAU, 2018) Mahesh V.; Grover, R.K.The present study aimed to study the price movement of cotton i.e. growth, trend, seasonal variation, volatility and co-integration among the selected cotton markets in Haryana. The monthly data on prices and arrivals of cotton were collected for the period from 2005-06 to 2016-17. Moving average method was used to estimate seasonal indices. The advanced econometric tools like ADF test, Johansen co-integration test and Granger Causality test were used to study market integration. Coefficient of Variation measure was employed to assess price volatility. The results shown the considerable increase in cotton prices in the selected markets, whereas arrivals growth and trend found positive but non-significant in all markets except Uklana and Fatehabad markets having negative growth due to shift in cropping pattern. Seasonal analysis resulted that the cotton arrivals in the selected markets were higher in the months of October to January (Peak period) and lower in the months of February to May (Lean period). The inverse relationship was found between price and arrivals of cotton in the selected markets with few exceptions. The price series of all selected markets showed the consequences of unit root and were stationary at first difference. The long run equilibrium relationship among the selected markets indicated that these were integrated with each other. This implies that prices in domestic markets of Haryana move together in response to changes in the demand and supply and other economic variables. The intra year prices in selected cotton markets during the study period remained almost stable with less than 10 per cent of variation, whereas for overall period Coefficient of Variation ranged from 28.50 to 30.88 per cent in the selected cotton markets indicating presence of not much higher volatility in the study period. The increased volatility can be addressed through stock management and by employing risk management strategies like crop insurance, future markets etc.ThesisItem Open Access Predicatioin and Utilization of Credit N Sugarcane Growing Tract of Ambala District of Haryana State(Department of Agricultural Economics Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 1984) Mehta, Ved Prakash; Rai, K.
