dc.description.abstract | The present study entitled “A Study on Performance of Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) in Kurnool District of Andhra Pradesh” was intended to examine various economic activities, technical efficiency, marketing practices, price spread and constraints of production and marketing on FPO and non-FPO farms. Kurnool district was purposively selected for present study as the district is having nine actively functioning FPOs (six under NABARD and three under SFAC). The list of the mandals along with corresponding number of FPO farmers was prepared. One mandal from the district with maximum number of FPO farmers was selected purposively. The selected FPO was found xii covering four villages in Dhone mandal. Hence all the four villages in the mandal were purposively selected for present study. All the FPO farmers in selected villages were listed out and 40 farmers were randomly selected. Another sample of 40 non-FPO farmers from the same villages were also randomly selected to serve as a control group. The information related to the present study was collected using a well-defined and pre-tested schedule through personal interview method. Detailed information was collected from the sample farms and it pertained to the agricultural year 2016-2017. Tabular analysis and linear programming technique (DEA) were employed to analyse the set objectives. The average size of the farm was 2.375 ha on FPOs and 2.6 ha on non- FPOs. The per hectare value of assets for FPOs was Rs.13,13,069 and the same for non-FPOs was Rs. 13,35,00. Total human labour utilized was 171 and 161.2 man days per hectare on onion FPO and non-FPO farms. On an average the total cost of cultivation per hectare of onion was Rs. 1,07,958 on FPO farms and Rs. 1,05,031 on non-FPO farms. The price per quintal was more on FPO farms with Rs. 920 compared to Rs.831 on non-FPO farms. The gross income realized on FPO farms was higher with Rs. 1,97,800 as against Rs. 1,61,600 on non-FPO farms., The net income was higher on FPO farms with Rs. 89,842 compared to Rs. 56,568 per hectare on non-FPO onion farms. Total human labour utilized was 104.38 (100 per cent) and 100.4 (100 per cent) man days per hectare on groundnut FPO and non-FPO farms respectively. The total cost of cultivation per hectare of groundnut was Rs. 58,142 on FPO and Rs. 57,526 on non-FPO farms. The price per quintal was slightly more on FPO farms with Rs. 4482 against to Rs.4380 on non- FPO farms. In groundnut the gross income realized on FPO farms was slightly higher with Rs. 78,804 as against Rs. 74,030 on non-FPO farms. The xiii net income was higher on FPO farms with Rs. 20,661 compared to Rs. 16,503 per hectare on non-FPO farms. Between FPO farms and non-FPO farms of onion and groundnut, FPO farms were better off in respect of OTE, PTE and SE than non-FPO farms in both onion and groundnut crops. The analysis of price spread in onion marketing revealed that the producer was getting higher share of consumer’s rupee in Channel I (80.29 per cent) than that of Channel II (58.1 per cent). The same trend was observed in the case of groundnut also, where the producer was getting higher share of consumer’s rupee in Channel I (80.71 per cent) than that of Channel II (78.4 per cent). Major problem putforth by both FPO farmers and non-FPO farmers was labour shortage during the crop growth period. Pests and diseases was another problem as ventilated by 70 per cent of FPO farmers and 72.5 per cent of non-FPO farmers. | en_US |
