Economics of wheat production

Abstract

:In this study, an attempt has been made to study analysis of yield gap in wheat in Amravati district with view to study the economics of wheat production and resource use efficiency. The study was based on primary data on input used and there upon costs was collected from two tehsils viz., Amravati and Morshi and from each tahsil 45 samples were selected. Per hectare input utilization for wheat indicated that the medium farmers were used higher inputs as compared to other farm size group of farmers. Per hectare total cost of cultivation of wheat for the sample as whole was Rs. 37235.99 per hectare, gross return from wheat at overall level was Rs. 63861.60. The input-output relationship at overall size group was 1.76 at Cost 'C For the study resource use efficiency of wheat, Cobb-Douglas production function was used. In the overall group resources seed, plant protection and area were significant. Marginal value of product to factor cost ratio at overall group, in case of Human labour, bullock labour and seed was positive and more than one and in case of machine labour, fertilizer, manure, plant protection and area it was negative and less than one.

Growth and Variability in Selected Cereal Crops in Madhya Pradesh"

“…Agam et al (2019) reported similar findings in her study on growth performance of wheat in Amravati district during 1983-84 to 2012-13 and Sahu et al (2020) also reported similar findings in her research work on growth in production of wheat in India during 2000-01 to 2017-18.…”

“…It compares well with other cereal in nutritive value. It has good nutrition profile with 12.1 per cent protein, 1.8 per cent lipids, 1.8 per cent ash, 2.0 per cent educing sugar, 6.7 per cent pentose, 59.2 per cent starch with good source of mineral of vitamin and nicotinic acid (Agam et al 2017). It is processed in different forms like flour, suzi, maida and being eaten by number of consumers in different ways as porridge (Halwa), chapati, bread and biscuits etc.…”

“…It compares well with other cereals in nutritive value. It has a good nutrition profile with 12.1% protein, 1.8% lipids, 1.8% ash, 2.0% reducing sugar, 6.7% pentose, 59.2% starch, and a good source of minerals, vitamins, and nicotinic acid" [1]. It is processed in different forms like flour, Suzi, and maida, and is eaten by consumers in different ways such as porridge (Halwa), chapati, bread, and biscuits.…”

Analysis of Resource Use Efficiency and Profitability of Wheat Production in Kailali District, Nepal

“…is a cereal grain, originated from the Southwest Asia, but now cultivated worldwide. It has been described as the "King of Cereal" (Agam et al, 2017). It can be grown from below sea level to 5000 m altitude and in areas where rainfall ranges between 300-1130 mm ( Kumar et al, 2014).…”
