Abstract
The farmers’ perception on the determinants of entering into contract Japanese
quail farming was analysed by factor analysis. The data for the study was
collected through a pre-tested interview schedule from the contract Japanese
quail producers in western zone of Tamil Nadu. Seven variables were
considered emphasizing the factors to go in for contract. Out of seven variables,
two variables, creating infrastructure and averting price fluctuation showed
highest factor loadings on the first dimension While two variables,
remunerative price and removal of exploitation by middle men had relatively
highest factor loadings on second dimension and the other two variables like
extending technical knowledge and forecasting disease outbreak higher in third
dimensions.
