    The study was carried out to examine an “Economic analysis of chickpea among members and non-members in farmer producer organizations (FPOs) in Banda District (U.P.)” The Banda district comprises eight blocks i.e. Badokhar Khurd, Jaspura, Tindwari, Naraini, Mahuva, Baberu, Bisanda and Kamasin. Among these, Mahuwa block was selected purposively, because it had highest number of FPOs. In Mahuva block, out of eight FPOs four FPOs were selected in which total 60 members and 60 non-members from 4 villages were selected to make 120 samples for the study. The variables of socio-economic status of chickpea growers had revealed that the majority of FPOs members had completed their middle school education (33.34 per cent) and while the majority of non-member had only completed their primary school (58.34 per cent). The majority of per cent of members (60 per cent) and non-members (70.0 per cent) belongs only agriculture sector while the annual income for members was 10 per cent and non-members was 3.33 per cent for range of 1,50,001-2,00,000. Further, the study revealed that the about 55 per cent of members and 38.3 per cent of non-members occupied the small (1.0 to 2.0 ha) land holding. The majority of both members and non-members having the buffalo cattle which was 91.67 per cent for FPOs members and 80 per cent for non-members. The cost and returns analysis indicated that the total cost of cultivation for FPOs members was Rs. 34821.03 per hectare and non-members was Rs. 36186.01 per hectare. The analysis of return indicated about the total net return for the FPOs members was Rs. 27542.72 per hectare and cost of production per quintal was Rs.2161.45 while the total net returns for the non-members was Rs. 12922.88 per hectare and cost of production per quintal was Rs. 2631.70 and B:C ratio for FPOs members was 1:1.79 whereas non-members was 1:1.35. This indicates that the FPOs members spends less and earns more in comparison to non-members. Further, the analysis of marketing costs indicates that the total marketing costs for FPOs members was 265 Rs. /Qtl whereas total marketing cost spent by non-members was 480 Rs. /Qtl. About Rs. 290 per quintal and Rs. 500 per quintal was the analyzed marketing margin under FPOs channel in chickpea for members and non-members. The producer’s share in consumer’s rupee was estimated 89.63 per cent for FPOs members and 81.78 per cent for non-members. The problems identified in the study area faced by FPOs members and non-members by the means of weighted mean score was 3 for lack of awareness about grading and packaging, shortage of well-developed storage and processing facilities etc. Besides of theses, the ranking of economic constraints perceived by FPOs members was I for lack of sufficient finance. Whereas rank I of non-members were high cost of labour and lack of sufficient finance in observed during study. The study also revealed that the weighted mean score and ranking of marketing constraints perceived by FPOs members at farm level was yearly price fluctuation was 3 and ranked as I constraints. Whereas the non-members rank I constraints was yearly price fluctuation, exploitation by middle men, distress sell/perishable nature of products and delayed payment.
