Abstract
Abstract : The present study of production and marketing of Chickpea in Washim district was carried out during the year 2018-2019, with the following objectives1. To study the performance of chickpea in Washim district. 2. To estimate cost and returns of chickpea production. 3. To study the marketing of chickpea. 4. To identify the constraints in production and marketing of chickpea grower.
The performance of chickpea was examined by estimating the growth rates of area, production, and productivity of chickpea.
The standard cost concept was used for working out cost and returns. Marketing aspects was studied by calculating producer’s share in consumer’s rupee. And the constraints in production and marketing were identified. The following conclusion drawn from the study.
The gross cropped area was highest in large group i.e. 7.86 hectare followed by medium 3.39 hectare and small group 1.90 hectare. Among all soybean dominated the cropping pattern in kharif and chickpea in rabi. The share of area under chickpea (Rabi) in small, medium and large size of land holding group and at overall level in gross cropped area was 13.54, 15.08, 13.98 and 14.20 per cent respectively.
Per hectare total cost of cultivation of chickpea i.e. cost 'C3' was highest in large size group i.e. Rs. 49148.00 followed by medium size group Rs.47182.00 and small size group Rs. 46656.00 respectively, and at overall level Rs. 47900.00.
The benefit cost ratio of chickpea at cost 'C3' was 1.54 in small group, 1.65 in medium group and 1.72 in large group.
For marketing of chickpea large number of farmers used channel III (i.e. Producer- Wholesaler-Retailer-Consumer).
Producer’s share in consumer’s rupee was highest in channel-I i.e. 98.29 per cent. Net price received by the producer was high in channel-I.
The major problem faced by chickpea growers were lack of technical knowledge, lack of financial facilities, high commission charges, high cost of fertilizer and inadequate storage facilities experienced in study area.
