| dc.description.abstract | The present study titled “A comparative economic analysis of paddy seed and grain production in Karimnagar district of Telangana state” was conducted in Karimnagar district of Telangana. The Telangana state is one of the leading rice producing states in India endowed with suitable climatic conditions for both Hybrid and OPV paddy seed production. The present study was carried out with the following specific objectives. 1. To analyze the economics of seed production vis-à-vis commercial grain production of paddy in Karimnagar district of Telangana. 2. To identify the factors determining farmers participation in the seed production. 3. To identify constraints in seed and grain production in paddy among sample farmers in Karimnagar district of Telangana. A total of 180 sample paddy growing farmers were selected, 60 each for hybrid seed, OPV seed and grain production by adopting multistage random sampling technique. Primary data was collected during rabi season of the agricultural year 2022-23, using pretested schedule through interview method. Both tabular analysis and functional analysis were employed to analyze the collected data. Tabular analysis was used to analyze the data regarding the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents and to work out the costs and returns in paddy seed and grain production. Cobb- Douglas production function was employed to identify the factors influencing paddy yield. Multinomial logistic regression was used to identify the factors determining farmers participation in seed production. Finally Garrett ranking technique was used to analyze the constraints faced by the seed and grain farmers in the study area. Majority of the sample farmers in both seed and grain production of paddy belonged to middle age group of 35-45 years and had education up to school level. All the three types of paddy production sample farmers had more than 20 years of farming experience, but they had only four years of experience in seed production in case of hybrid seed production farmers and eight years for OPV seed producing farmers. Most of the farmers both in seed and grain production belonged to marginal and small size group. Paddy hybrid seed producing farmers were distributed across five companies namely Kaveri, Pioneer, Syngenta, ITC, Yashoda where as OPV seed producers were spread across eleven companies namely Varun, Sonam,Siri, Bhavani,Chatanya,Syngenta,Mahindra,Bioseed,Sriram,Kaveri,Godrej. Comparison of cost of cultivation of paddy seed and grain production farmers revealed that cost of cultivation of paddy hybrid seed production per hectare was high at Rs 115181.38, followed by OPV seed at Rs.93000.10 and Rs. 90581.39 for grain production. The net returns per hectare were estimated at Rs 85097.6 in hybrid paddy seed production and found high compared to OPV seed (Rs. 45613.2) and grain production (Rs. 42918.10). The per hectare net income in hybrid seed production was Rs 85,097.60 and was 86.57 per cent more than net income from OPV paddy seed production (Rs.45,613.2 )and 98.28 per cent more than net income from grain production ( Rs 42,918.1 ) .Net income from OPV paddy seed was 6 per cent more than net income from of grain production. Returns per rupee investment in Hybrid paddy seed production was 1.74 and found high compared to OPV seed (1.49) and grain production (1.47) indicating that Hybrid seed production was most profitable among three types of paddy production. The production function analysis indicated that human labour and machine labour in paddy hybrid seed production, machine labor and pesticide cost, in OPV seed production, paddy area, human labour ,pesticide cost, machine labour ,total N quantity and seed cost in grain production were the major contributing factors to total yield. The multi nomial logistic regression revealed that the probability of the farmers to become participant in seed production was influenced by age, gender, family size, experience in seed production, farming experience, farm size, motivation for seed production by fellow farmers or other agencies, paddy area and education level of the farmer significantly. Failure of crop due to unfavourable weather conditions, high wages of labour were the major constraints identified by all the three different types of paddy production farmers. In case of hybrid seed production dependence of farmers on companies for inputs and technical advices, non procurement of male seed by the company and not getting MSP price as A grade for male seed are the specific constraints identified. High input cost (seeds, fertilizers, pesticides), delayed payment by companies /marketing agencies are the major constraints identified by OPV seed production farmers. Low price of farm produce at the time of harvesting, unofficial cut in MSP due to quality discrepancy are the major constraints ranked by grain production farmers. As hybrid paddy seed production found profitable department of Agriculture has to play major role in planning and forecasting scientifically the demand for seed and make quality foundation seed available in required quantity for multiplication. Adequate extension services and capacity building need to be provided for seed growing farmers to enhance the skills for profitable seed production. There should be concrete policy regarding contractual agreement so that no breach of agreements will take place. And also crop insurance may be reinstituted so that it will help farmers at the time of adverse climatic conditions. | |
