Abstract :

This paper describes the Relationship of profile characteristics of Rice farmers with their constraints in rice production in Nellore District of Andhra Pradesh. The data was collected from a sample of 120 Rice farmers by following ex-post-facto research design. The Correlation analysis study between the profile characteristics and constrains faced by them revealed that the variables like education, training undergone, credit orientation, social participation, mass media exposure, extension contact and scientific orientation were having negative and significant relation with constraints faced by the rice farmers. Risk orientation had positive and significant relation with constraints faced, where as age, farming experience, farm size, economic motivation, management orientation and innovativeness had non significant relationship with constraints faced by the rice farmers.
