Abstract :
The study was conducted in Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan which has highest production under paddy cultivation. Tibbi tehsil in Hanumangarh and two villages in Tibbi tehsil were selected on the basis of highest area under paddy (PR 106). A sample of 50 farmers was surveyed for input use pattern in paddy (PR 106) and its marketing. The sample included 25 small, 16 medium and 9 large farms. On an overall basis, cost of cultivation of paddy (PR 106) was Rs. 31815.16. It had a tendency to increase with increase in the size of holding. The gross returns, on an average, were Rs.75210 and the net income was Rs. 43396.50 per ha. The marketable surplus had a tendency to increase with increase in farm size. Due to immediate cash needs, there was no difference in marketed and marketable surplus. The market analysis of paddy (PR 106) revealed that channel I was more remunerative because farmer’s share in consumer rupee was highest (59.48 per cent). The net share of commission agent was 1.13 percent. The net share of wholesaler was 4.02 per cent share in consumer rupee. The net share of miller was 13.14 percent and the net share of retailer was 2.73 percent. Price spread was maximum in channel lI (44.59 per cent) followed by channel I (40.49 per cent). Modified Marketing efficiency measure of channel I was 1.56 followed by channel II (1.24). Therefore, channel I was more efficient than channel II.
