Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite having a good scope of vegetable seeds as high value & low volume products, their profitable production is still elusive for the farmers. In this regard, a study was carried out to assess the economics of vegetable seed production and marketing in the Kavrepalanchowk district of Nepal. The primary data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a semi-structured survey questionnaire. For the interview, a sampling frame of all seed producers in the district was prepared and using the simple random sampling technique, sixty seed-producers were selected. Further, ten traders were also surveyed with a semi-structured questionnaire. The study found the highest benefit-cost ratio in tomato (3.36), followed by kidney bean (1.55) and cress (1.34). Only a single marketing channel was reported in the study site. The farmers sell their produces to a cooperative which eventually sells the seeds to a seed company. The limited irrigation facilities, incidence of disease and pests, and limited market information have been reported as the major hindrances in the study area. Thus, the findings show the potential to scale up vegetable seed production by enhancing market linkage and better collaboration between various value chain actors.

Book An Economic Analysis on Contract Farming in Vegetables Seed Production in Selected Areas of Rangpur District

Download or read book An Economic Analysis on Contract Farming in Vegetables Seed Production in Selected Areas of Rangpur District written by Md Abdur Rouf Sarkar and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contract farming can be described as half-way house between farm production and corporate farming. It involves contractual relation between farmers and central processing or exporting unit/firms. Seed is a vital input and dynamic instrument for increasing agricultural production. The present study was conducted at Mithapukur and Pirgachha Upazilas under Rangpur district to assess the profitability, contribution of factors to production and changes in socio-economic status of the vegetable seed contract growers. In total 90 open pollinated vegetables seed contract growers were randomly selected in consultation with BADC personnel at the rate of 30 contract seed growers (20 small and 10 medium) from each of the three selected vegetable crops viz., tomato, brinjal and okra. Total cost, gross margin, gross return, net return and benefit cost ratio (undiscounted) were estimated for economic analysis. The results revealed that per hectare (ha) total cost, gross return and net return of open pollinated vegetables seed production were estimated at Tk. 253136, 360000 and 106864 in tomato, Tk. 219765, 430000 and 210235 in brinjal and, Tk. 185072, 237120 and 52048 in okra, respectively. Benefit cost ratios came out to be 1.42, 1.96 and 1.28 for tomato, brinjal and okra seed production, respectively which was found a bit higher for the brinjal seed contract growers. The marginal productivity analysis indicated that the inequality of the contract growers in the study area have failed to show their efficiency in using the resources. The overall socio-economic status of the sample contract growers were found increased by about 26.02 percent. Scarcity of skilled labor, inadequate and untimely capital, non-existence of crop insurance were the problems confronting the open pollinated vegetables seed contract growers. Fixing scale of finance, crop insurance and government intervention were the suggestions.

Book Can contract farming in organic basmati rice be a boon to smallholders Evidence from India

Download or read book Can contract farming in organic basmati rice be a boon to smallholders Evidence from India written by Mishra, Ashkok K. and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demand for organic basmati rice (OBR), both at home and abroad, coupled with policy reforms in India have given rise to contract farming (CF) production in that nation. OBR production, however, is highly susceptible to weather and pest risks. This study investigates the impact of smallholders’ perceived production risks on their adoption of CF in OBR farming. We also assess the impact of CF in OBR production on yields, prices received, and the livelihood of OBR producers. We use farm-level data from smallholder basmati rice farms in India and the endogenous switching regression method to account for heterogeneity.
