dc.description.abstractABSTRACT Banana is second important fruit crop of the country with good export potential. Banana rank first in production of different fruits in the state, however the productivity of this important crop in Chhattisgarh state is yet to be increased to compare with the productivity of Maharashtra and Karnataka states which requires extensive use of modern production, processing and storage technologies. In addition to this, the effective and efficient marketing system and transport facilities are required. The production of fruits in Chhattisgarh, Banana ranks first. The total area and production of Banana fruits in Chhattisgarh was 22082 ha. and 533257 metric tonnes (Anon. 2014- 15). It is cultivated in almost all the districts in state. The major Banana growing district Raipur, Bilaspur, Durg, Mahasamund, Balod, Bemetara Raighar. Banana production plays an important role in Chhattisgarh state. The total area under Banana in Durg district was 1650 ha. and 47850 metric tonnes production, respectively (2014-15). The study was conducted at Durg block in Durg district of Chhattisgarh where banana is an important fruit crop. A sample of 60 respondents in the ratio of 20: 20: 20 was selected randomly The respondents were classified into three groups viz., small (>2.00 hectares), medium (2.01- 4.00 hectares) and large (4.01 hectares and above) farms. The sample banana producers for banana cultivation disposal of their produce opted independent channels as per convenience. Yield, returns, marketing costs, constraints of production and marketing data were collected from the sample respondents as well as from different market functionaries through the pre-tested schedule for the year 2015-16. It was found that the average size of land holding in small size group was 1.47 and 3.72 ha medium and7.31 ha in large size group, respectively. The overall percentage of irrigated area was found to be significantly higher 96.02 percent to the total cultivated area. Overall cropping pattern in study area was still dominated by rice, banana followed by maize, vegetable was the next preference. The intensity of cropping was higher in small size group (298 %) followed by medium and large size group. The employment of human labour showed reverse relation with the size of farm but employment of hired human labour showed a scale relation with the size of farm. Bullock labour utilization was higher in small size and tend to decline as per increase of size. Fertilizer application was higher in small size and tends to decline as per increase of farm size because, use of intensive cultivation. The operational cost comprised human labour to fertilizer inputs known as cost A1/A2 showed a significant increase with the size of farm. The same was observed in the case of cost B1, Cost B2 but in the case of Cost C1 there was no considerable difference in size farm though slightly higher in small size group. The same was happened in the case of cost C2. The cost C3 was slightly higher in large size followed by other size farms. The net return over cost C3 (total cost) observed higher in small size followed by medium and large size farm in banana The productivity of banana was higher in small size group followed by medium and large size group. The average production was 543 q/ ha. and gross income receive per ha. higher in small size group (392000 Rs/ ha) and lower in large size group. And also found net income higher in small size group (192992 Rs/ha) fallowed by medium and large (180225.35 and 170378.93 Rs/ha ). The benefit cost ratio found higher in small size group (1.96) fallowed by medium and large (1.89 and 1.84).Cost and margin of various agencies in the marketing of banana in Channel-I. The share of producer in consumer’s paid price was maximum as approaching nearly 94 percent. It was found that the marketing cost and margins conclusion is that as the marketing functionaries reduced the share of the producer in consumer paid price on one side and on the other size increased the consumer’s paid price indicate that share of producer price tend to decline as per increase in the number of marketing functionaries and compelled the consumers to pay higher prices for the same quantity of banana without any relief. On the basis of above comparative statement it was found that when there is involvement of higher number of marketing functionaries in the dealing of banana marketing tend to decrease the producer’s share in ultimate consumer’s paid price one side and forced the ultimate consumers to pay higher price for the same quantity of banana as a consequence of incurring of various costs and margins recovered by market functionaries for their rendered services in the trading of this commodity. the marketing efficiency is higher in channel-I as compare to channel- II and channel-III. It was found that the problem faced by the sample farmers in the production and marketing of banana were problem in obtaining quality seed at reasonable price and higher prices for human labour and fertilizer inputs. Higher human labour input cost due to lack of management and high rate of human labour per days because constraint of human labour. And high fertilizer cost due to lack of market yard and reasonable price and also lack of credit facilities for securing crucial inputs at reasonable prices was not funded timely to banana growers through institutional financing agency. Some important constraints found in banana marketing such as price fluctuation in banana marketing lack of market information, lack of storage facilities, lack of processing industries based on fruit , lack of govt. facilities in marketing of banana.en_US
