dc.description.abstractThe present study entitled “A Study on Efficiency of Tenant Farming in Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh” was intended to examine costs and returns, resource productivity and allocative efficiency on owned and tenant farms. The study covered four mandals and eight villages from Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. A sample of 64 owner cultivators and 64 tenant cultivators was selected at random from the eight villages. The primary data for the year 2017-2018 were collected through a pretested schedule by survey method. Conventional and functional analyses were used to analyze the data and arrive at valid conclusions. The total cost of cultivation per hectare for kharif groundnut, kharif paddy, kharif tomato, kharif sugar cane, rabi groundnut and rabi paddy was ` 94,469.94, ` 95,774.34, ` 1,70,623.48, ` 2,21,833.76, ` 91,773.44 and ` 1,61,589.47 on owned farms respectively and it was ` 93,390.34, ` 1,02,614.55, ` 1,76,099.98, ` 2,17,147.82, ` 89,351.31 and ` 1,61,764.38 on the tenant farms for the corresponding crops. The proportion of working costs ranged from 67.44 per cent to 81.59 per cent on owned farms and 67.95 per cent to 81.43 per cent on tenant farms for the crops under study. It is clear that all the measures of farm income viz., farm business income, family labour income, net income, farm investment income and returns per rupee of expenditure were higher on tenant farms against owned farms. The net income was ` 61,375.06, ` 71,475.70, ` 30,836.52, xii ` 59,282.01, ` 74,129.06 and ` 74,723.53 from the cultivation of kharif groundnut, kharif paddy, kharif tomato, kharif sugar cane, rabi groundnut and rabi paddy respectively on owned farms and the respective figures for tenant farms were ` 63,921.66, ` 61,429.45, ` 43,910.02, ` 63,711.01, ` 82,348.69 and ` 59,785.62. The returns per rupee of expenditure were estimated and they stood at ` 0.59, ` 0.68, ` 0.16, ` 0.24, ` 0.73 and ` 0.42 on owned farms and ` 0.62, ` 0.54, ` 0.23, ` 0.27, ` 0.84 and ` 0.33 on tenant farms for the crops under study respectively. Plant protection chemicals, manures and human labour were the factors which exhibited relatively higher potential for increased output on tenant farms. As per the results of MVP/MFC ratio, it was observed that each additional rupee of investment on manures, fertilizers, seed would add 2.59, 3.57, 25.11 on owned farms respectively and 0.59 plant protection chemical and 25.64 seed on tenant farms for aforesaid variables. In case of plant protection chemicals, the ratio was less than one indicating less profitability of further use on tenant farms. The major constraint identified was marketing constraint which was given first rank where the minor noticed was subsidiary constraint.en_US
