dc.description.abstractIn the present scenario of globalization quality of the product is one of the most important pre-requisite in the international market. The quality of the farm products can be improved through the adoption of organic farm practices. Contract farming alongwith organic farming plays a dominant role in reducing farmers marketing risk. India is one of the major producers of rice in the world. It contributes about 20 per cent of world’s export of rice in which basmati rice is a major contributor. With increasing trend towards globalization, it has become imperative to improve the quality of basmati rice to compete and harvest rich benefits in the international market. Recently cultivation of organi basmati paddy is gaining popularity in Haryana. Keeping this in view and marketing of organically produced basmati paddy, the present study was undertaken in Haryana with following specific objectives: i) To study the comparative economics of organically and non-organically produced basmati paddy. ii) To workout marketing cost, margin and price spread through different marketing channels. iii) To examine the constraints and prospects of organically produced basmati paddy. For collection of primary data, 120 farmers were selected from Sonepat and Kaithal districts practicing both organic and inorganic cultivation of basmati paddy. The organic farmers were further sub-divided into two categories i.e. one selling their produce in open market and another through contract to the processor. The collected data for the crop year 2003-04 were analyzed by simple tabular analytical method. The study revealed that i) The per acre net returns were more in non-organic basmati paddy but gross returns were more in case of organic basmati paddy. ii) The total cost involved in the cultivation of organic basmati was more compared to non-organic basmati paddy. iii) The cost involved in irrigation was less in case of organic basmati paddy due to better retention of moisture by the organic manures. iv) The price received by the farmer’s in case of organic basmati paddy was more than price received by the farmers in case of inorganic basmati paddy. v) The producers share in processors rupee was more in Channel-I i.e. in contract farming. vi) Organic basmati produce marketing was more efficient than inorganic basmati produce marketing. vii) Open market sale was less efficient than contract market sale. viii) Low yield of basmati paddy, higher cost of production and higher weed infestation were major constraints in organic basmati production. ix) Price fluctuation and delay in auction of produce were the major marketing constraints in marketing of organically produced basmati paddy. x) Contract farming helps the farmer in reducing marketing risk and increasing income. xi) Some incentives alongwith setting of certification agencies were suggested for popularization of organic produce in the country.en_US
