“…The benefit-cost ratio of large holder farmers was estimated to be 1.82 and that of smallholder farmers was estimated to be 1.53 with profit more in large holder farmers than in smallholder farmers ( Table 5). The BC ratio calculated was similar to the BC ratio of mandarin farming calculated in Amravati district of India which was 1.63 but lowest than that of Nagpur district of Maharasta (Diliparo, 2014;Bante et al, 2015). According to Bheel and Burark (2012), the establishment cost of the mandarin orchard was Rs.…”

A study was carried out to assess the production status of mandarin in Dailekh, Nepal in 2019. A total of 75 households were sampled by using simple random sampling technique and interviewed with the pre-tested semi-structured interview schedule. Mandarin producers were the main source of primary data. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test and independent-sample t-test were used for data analysis using SPSS and MS-Excel. Farmers were categorized into large holder farmers (n = 30) and smallholder farmers (n = 45) category based on the farm size. The variable cost of mandarin cultivation was NRs. 7663.19/ropani. The gross return of mandarin was found to be NRs. 12403.76/ropani with the profit of NRs. 4740.58. The BC ratio of large holder farmers was 1.82 and the smallholder farmer was 1.53 with the overall BC ratio of 1.62. The price of mandarin had been increasing every year since 2015 A.D. to 2019 A.D. Labour and Bordeaux paste costs shows positive and significant relation with income from mandarin farming while costing of FYM and land rent cost show negative but non-significant relation. Disease and pests (0.74) were identified as a major production problem and lack of technical knowledge (0.75) was identified as a major pre-production problem of mandarin farming. Likewise, delay payment to the farmers (0.76) was identified as a major marketing problem faced by farmers. Out of total respondents, 60% were found to be highly satisfied with mandarin farming and 69.3% of the farmers were willing to expand their mandarin orchard.

The current study, "Economic Analysis of Cost of Production and Profitability of Watermelon in Thiruvallur District of Tamil Nadu in India," was conducted from 2022 to 2023. 100 farmers from the study area were chosen at random to participate in the study. Analyzing the costs, returns, profitability, marketing, and production of watermelons in the study area were the study's primary goals. 100% of the farmers used drip irrigation to grow watermelons and sowed seeds during the rabi season. The majority of farmers in the study area employed inputs that were above what was advised for watermelon cultivation. Pre-structured interview schedules were used to collect the data. The survey indicated that marginal farmers, small and semi-medium farmers, and medium farmers, respectively, spent Rs 155691.8, Rs 154302.5, Rs 149897, and Rs 148131.5 per hectare on watermelon farming on average. On marginal, small, semi-medium, and medium farms, the input-output ratio concerning cost C was (1:1.36), (1:1.39), (1:1.41), and (1:1.44), respectively. The cost of production lowers as farm size grows.

Orange is the second most important fruit crop of Maharashtra. However, the productivity of fruit is found to be dwindling which might be due to the gaps in adoption of recommended technical know-how. Therefore, the study was undertaken to assess the adoption gaps of recommended orange technologies and the influence of socio-economic characteristics on the adoption gaps. The average gap was to the tune of 31.89 per cent. As far as the association and influence of profile characteristic are concerned, it was found that size of land, source of credit, annual income, experience in farming and knowledge level of the orange growers, knowledge of GAP practices, mass media exposure and socio-economic status had negative correlation with adoption gaps (P= .01) whereas size of land holding and knowledge level, knowledge of GAP practices and annual income had negative influence on adoption gaps (P= .01). The study recommends that the proper extension and communication strategies should be developed for the dissemination of orange production technologies in state. Also, the public and private extension support systems are needed to be reoriented so that they can act more efficiently to provide necessary information about orange cultivation. The present study was conducted in Amravati and Nagpur districts of Maharashtra. An ‘ex post facto’ research design was used for the study. A sample of 200 orange growers was selected through stratified random sampling method for the study. The results of the study shows that most of the orange growers had gap in application of micro nutrient (44.76 %) followed by fruit drop measures (43.16 %) and plant protection measures (42.75%). The average gap was to the tune of 31.89 per cent. As far as the association and influence of profile characteristic are concerned, it was found that size of land, source of credit, annual income, experience in farming and knowledge level of the orange growers, knowledge of GAP practices, mass media exposure and socio-economic status had negative correlation with adoption gaps (P= .01) whereas size of land holding and knowledge level, knowledge of GAP practices and annual income had negative influence on adoption gaps (P= .01). The study recommends that the proper extension and communication strategies should be developed for the dissemination of orange production technologies in state. Also, the public and private extension support systems are needed to be reoriented so that they can act more efficiently to provide necessary information about orange cultivation.
