:The present study on cost benefit analysis of sugarcane cultivation in Bhandara district was undertaken in Sakoli, Pavani and Tumsar tehsils of Bhandara district in the year 2014-15 with a view to socio-economic characteristics of sugarcane farmers, examine input used, cost structure and returns in production of sugarcane. The present study is based on total 90 sugarcane farmers. The nature of data based on primary data with personal interview method. The cropping intensity was 181.92 per cent at overall level. The highest cropping intensity observed in large type of land holding. i.e. 200.00 per cent. The per hectare cost of production (Cost C 2 ) of sugarcane during the year 2014-15 for the overall level was Rs.92949.02 and average per hectare gross returns were Rs.148101.01. The average net returns obtained at an overall basis were Rs.55324.98. The input-output ratio on an overall basis was 1.59. The average cost of production per tonne for sugarcane was Rs.1172.25. The major constraints faced in the farmers of sugarcane was low level of productivity (87.22%) whereas in marketing of sugarcane the major constraint expressed by sample farmers was low FRP prize (82.22%).
The conventional paddy growing tracts are in worst crisis due to social, biological and technical setbacks. Well acclaimed rice bowls in several part of the nation is facing a decline in area, production and productivity. In India, there is a growing demand for rice due to ever escalating population. Rice is consumed both in urban and rural area and its consumption is growing due to high-income elasticity of demand. To meet the growing demand, a rapid income in paddy production is needed. But there is little scope to increase the area; hence increase in production and productivity with an improvement in efficiency of production to act as a technological breakthrough to meet the growing demand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
