Sirsa and Hisar districts from Haryana and Balasore and Kalahandi districts from Odisha were purposively selected having highest area under cultivation of selected fruit crops. From each district 30 farmers were randomly selected thus making a total sample size of 120 farmers. The compound growth rates in area, production and productivity of kinnow in Haryana were found to be 11.69, 17.67 and 5.36 per cent respectively. Similarly in case of guava in Haryana the CGR in area, production and productivity was found to be 8.09, 15.08 and 6.46 per cent respectively. The CGR in area, production and productivity of guava in Odisha was found to be 0.20, 1.29 and1.09 per cent respectively. The CGR in area, production and productivity of banana in Odisha was found to be 0.92, 5.11 and 4.15 per cent respectively. The CGR in area under total horticultural crops in Haryana, Odisha and India was found to be 5.22, 0.87 and 2.32 per cent respectively. The CGR in production under total horticultural crops in Haryana, Odisha and India was found to be 7.97,1.65 and 4.69 per cent respectively. The CGR in productivity under total horticultural crops in Haryana, Odisha and India was found to be 2.60, 0.78 and 2.33 per cent respectively. The average total establishment cost, operational cost, NPV, IRR, B:C ratio and pay back period for kinnow in Haryana were found as `122460, `56662, `747703.64, 26.24 per cent and 7 years respectively. The average total establishment cost, operational cost, NPV, IRR, B:C ratio and pay back period for guava in Haryana were found as `95784, `56463, `751368.52, 26.41 per cent and 7 years respectively. The average total establishment cost, operational cost, NPV, IRR, B:C ratio and pay back period for guava in Odisha were found as `97804,`57093, `488638.60, 26.42 per cent and 8 years respectively. The average total cost, net return and B:C ratio of banana in Odisha were found to be `136351, `462817 and 1:3.46 respectively. Major constraints faced by fruits growers were indentified as lack of infrastructure for processing and storage, inadequate infrastructure for post harvest management, poor marketing facility, lack of good quality planting materials etc.ennullThesis
