Background: Little gourd is important vegetable crop that provide a considerable amount of income to farm families in Central Gujarat. The present investigation was undertaken with the goal to study the cost and return in cultivation of little gourd in central Gujarat. Methods: For this purpose, primary data was collected from 100 little guard farmers from three districts namely Anand, Kheda and Vadodara and categorized according to size of holding as marginal, small, medium and large farms. To arrive at conclusion the data was analyzed with cost concepts and relevant income measures. Result: The study found that the average per hectare cost of cultivation, gross income and net income of little gourd followed an increasing pattern from marginal to large farm sizes. The input output ratio was found decreasing as the farm size increased. The study suggested that there is enough scope of enhancing net returns through increasing the scale of operations at farm level that may be achieved by organizing small and medium farmers into producer organizations. Over and above this, the farmers should be encouraged for production of export-oriented quality to further increase the farm income.

“…The second most important constraint faced by the cucurbit crop growers was the unavailability of quality seeds (HYV) (overall Garrett score 55. 37). Keeping this in view, there was a strong need to strengthen extension services for providing information regarding technical knowledge and high-yielding variety amongst the cucurbit growers in the study area.…”

The present investigation was undertaken to estimate the comparison of costs and returns for cucumber and bitter gourd production. The specific objectives of this study included the profitability of cucumber and bitter gourd as well as identifying the major constraints faced by cucumber and bitter gourd growers. The study was based on primary data which were collected through personal interviews with the help pre-tested survey scheduled. In which, a multistage stratified purposive cum random sampling technique was used to select the district, block, villages, and respondents. The Results indicated that bitter gourd production was profitable crop in comparison to cucumber. Besides, marginal farms’ was shown to be more profitable than small and medium farms according to an analysis of aggregate measures that were calculated for financial efficiency. Moreover, to identify the constraints the Garrett ranking technique was used. From the results, cucurbit farmers faced several issues of managerial, technical, and financial. In which top two most common problems in management & technical faced by them were lack of technical knowledge and unavailability of quality seeds (HYV) and the top two financial problems faced by them were untimely availability of loans and high-interest rates respectively. Major suggestions of cucurbit farmers to overcome these constraints are training being imparted to implement new technologies, credit facilities with low-rate interest by institutional agencies and storage facilities in mandi should be provided to the farmers for their perishable products.

“…The producers' share in consumer's rupee of bitter gourd was 36.85% in PWM. A group researchers have recently shown that the low prices offered by market intermediaries, high transport cost, and multiplicity of market charges have contributed to low producers' share in consumer's rupee of bitter gourd (Kshirsagar et al, 2016). The study revealed that the mean producers' share in consumer's rupee was only 42.16%.…”

To study the price and volume variability pattern and analyze the relationship of market arrival with the prices of major vegetables, a study was conducted in Pokhara wholesale market, Nepal. The study collected seventeen year's monthly data of the wholesale market starting from 2001/02. Farmgate and retail market prices of major vegetables were collected by market surveys. The results revealed that the mean variability in the arrival of sponge gourd was higher, followed by green peas, tomato, bitter gourd, cucumber, cauliflower, and cabbage. The study reported stability in the price of green peas, bitter gourd, and cucumber compared to the prices of cabbage and tomato. The study confirmed numerous cases of positive relationships, though statistically non-significant, between market arrival and prices in terms of coefficient of correlation across months, although a negative relationship was found over the years in almost half of the cases. Computation of compound annual growth rate revealed a 7.22% growth in price and 13.95% growth in the arrival volume of selected vegetables over the years. Regression analysis confirmed that the volume of cauliflower was affected by the price and quantity of its close substitutes. A comparison between the farmgate, wholesale, and retail prices reveals that the mean price spread of fresh vegetables was 57.33%. The most crucial effect of these price differential was on producers since the mean producer's share was only 42.67%. The study suggested due consideration of the Government of Nepal to enhance market intelligence, stability in price, cold chamber, and cold chain development.
