Abstract
Paddy is most prominent crop among the food crops of India and is likely to be
continued to dominant in future also. The highest percentage of people in country are
engaged in the processing and marketing of paddy. The random cum purposive sampling
technique were used to select District, Block, Village and the sample farmers, Ambedkar
nagar District of Eastern Uttar Pradesh At first was selected purposively of the to avoid the
operational inconvenience of the investigator with a list of all 9 blocks of Ambedkar nagar
district of Eastern Uttar Pradesh along with area of paddy was undertaken block wise and
the one of the block namely Tanda was selected purposively for this study. A list of village
growing paddy in selected block was from official record and five villages having
reasonable higher area under paddy were was obtained selected randomly for study. A list
of all the cultivator of each selected villages were prepared along with their size of the
operational holding and then it was arranged in ascending order on the basis of holding
size. The cultivators were classified into three categories viz. below 1 ha. (marginal), 1-
2 ha. (small), and 2-4 ha (medium). Finally 100 farmers were selected randomly from five
selected villages. The study reveals that per farm average investment on overall farms
recorded to Rs.319642.70 In cropping pattern paddy covers 36.79 per cent to total cropped
area and the cropping intensity was 193.00 per cent shows inverse relation with the size of
holding. Per hectare cost of cultivation shows negative relation with size of holding as it
was maximum of Rs. 39111.01 on small farms. On all farms per quintal cost of production
overall was found to Rs.589.298 and productivity was 51.27 quintal per hectare. Five
variables namely seed. machinery charges manure and fertilizer, irrigation charges and
human labour were considered work-out the resource use efficiency. These three factors
had positive role in production of paddy on all size groups of farms and two factor had
negative role in the production of paddy. The value of M.V.P. to factor costs was found
both( positive and negative) indicating the positive factor that, there is further scope to
increase the investment on these factors to realize return more than the cost. In case of
paddy cultivation Labour problems Technical, Irrigation, Seed problems, and financial
problems. The following suggestion were made viz, to establish sound irrigation facilities,
at farm level, HYV of seed to be used along with timely sowing and improved agricultural
implements, liquidity of crop loan through Kisan Credit Card be available without delay.
