    An Economic Analysis of Production and Marketing of Potato and Onion Crops in Rewa District of Madhya Pradesh
    (JNKVV, 2013) Bareliya, Rajendra Singh; Khan, N.
    ABSTRACT The present study entitled “An economic analysis of production and marketing of potato and onion crops in Rewa District of Madhya Pradesh” was undertaken in the year 2011-12 the objectives of the study were. 1. To find out the economic analysis of production of potato and onion cultivation. 2. To study the different marketing channels of potato and onion. 3. To analyze the marketing margin, price spread in potato and onion marketing. 4. To identify barriers and future thrusts in potato and onion production and marketing. A multi-stage random sampling technique was adopted for data collection. The study was conducted in tehsil Gangeo district of Rewa (M.P.) where potato and onion is an important cash crop. Stratified random sample procedure was adopted for the selection of villages and farmers. Sample of 3 villages of this tehsil was selected randomly. A sample of 60 farmers in the ratio of 21:21:18 was selected randomly. The farmers were classified into three groups viz., small (>2.00 hectares), medium (2.01-4.00 hectares) and large (4.01 hectares and above) farms. The sampled potato and onion producers for potato and onion cultivation disposal of their produce opted independent channels as per convenience. Yield, returns and marketing costs and constraints of production and marketing data were collected from the sample farmer as well as from different market functionaries through the pre-tested schedule for the year 2011-12. 1. The average size of holding in small size group was 1.77 and 3.29 ha medium and 7.56 ha in large size group, respectively. 2. The number of small size farms were equal compared to medium and higher to large size farms but there was reverse relation so far as operational area was concerned. 3. The percentage of irrigated area was significantly higher varying 11.96 to 59.35 per cent as per increase of farm size. 4. Within the cropping pattern paddy followed by wheat, potato and onion, and maize were the better preferences of large size farm. In medium size wheat followed by potato and onion, maize and soybean were the preferential be sequence of crops. While in small size potato followed by wheat, potato and onion, soybean and maize were the part of cropping system. 5. Overall cropping pattern in study area was still dominated by wheat followed by soybean. Potato and onion was the next preference. 6. There was a keen competition between potato and onion acreage leaving a narrow margin in between them in rabi season. 7. The intensity of cropping was higher in small size group followed by medium and large size group. 8. The employment of human labour showed reverse relation with the size of farm but employment of hired human labour showed a scale relation with the size of farm. 9. Bullock labour utilization was higher in small size and tend to decline as per increase of size. 10. Machine power was uniformly applied in medium and large farm size only. 11. Investment on seed was the same in respect of farm size. Similar pattern was also observed in manure application. 12. Fertilizer application was higher in small size and tends to decline as per increase of farm size because, use of intensive cultivation. 13. Irrigation charge was slightly increased with the increase of size farm. Reverse to that for plant protection there was a strong relation of plant protection use which tremendously increased as per increase of farm size. 14.The operational cost comprised human labour to plant protection inputs known as cost A1/A2 showed a significant positive increase with the size of farm. The same was observed in the case of cost B1, Cost B2 but in the case of Cost C1 there was no considerable difference in size farm though slightly higher in small size group. The same was happened in the case of cost C2. The cost C3 was slightly higher in small size followed by other size farms. 15. The productivity of onion was higher in small size group followed by medium and large size group and in potato was higher in large and followed by small size group. 16. The gross return a sum of output, into unit price also followed the same pattern as observed in the potato and onion productivity. 17. The net return over cost C3 (total cost) observed higher in small size followed by medium and large size farm in potato and onion. 18. Family labour income was higher in small size group which tends to decline as per increase of farm size. 19. The net return per farm was higher in large size group due to higher allocation of potato and onion area and tend to decline as per decline of size farm. 20. Elasticity of production greater than one for inputs factors mainly manure and fertilizers, plant protection, indicates that for further increase of potato and onion output the level of these resources may be increased depending upon the capacity of farmers. 21. Elasticity of production less than one but greater than zero in case of irrigation and other inputs barring human labours indicate that the gradual increase in the level of such inputs may be considered with greater care otherwise there is a possibility of production cost. 22. The negative elasticity of production of human labour use in small size group indicate that to avoid the increase of incurred cost on this factor should be reversed till elasticity of production become positive. 23. The MVP of plant protection was highest followed by manure and fertilizer and irrigation for each farm size as well as overall. 24. The share of producer in marketing cost was appreciably higher in the channel-I but where the storage and commission and other related costs incurred if tend to decline in ultimate consumers paid price. 25. Extension of marketing functions tends to decline the producer’s share in consumer paid price. 26. In case of onion production there was no existence of post harvest technique except the drying of onion bulb for a few days and cutting of dried roots. 27. Constraints related to inputs use had varying degree and influenced the potato and onion productivity and returns per hectare. The proper correction, amendment or allocation requires to be observed as indicated in resource use productivity analysis. 28. Per hectare higher returns of potato and onion as well as higher return ratio over per rupee invested cost shows better prospect for area expansion and production of potato and onion cultivation.
