Ajit Singh, H L Singh, V S Chaudhary

Abstract :

This Study attempts to examine the resource use efficiency of Paddy production in Meerut district of Western UP. A sample of 100 farmers was selected through multistage sampling technique. Farmers were categorized on the basis of land holding into marginal, small, medium and large farmers. Cobb Douglas production function approach was used to measure the resource use efficiencies by calculating and compå Marginal Value Products (MVPs) and acquisition cost (AC). Results depicted that ratio of MVP to AC for most of the resources were greater than 1 showing under-utilization of these resources. While the use of manure and fertilizer was found to be over utilised among all categories of farms, and irrigation was in medium and large farmers.
