Abstract/Description: | The Bundelkhand region contributes more than half of the total pulse area of the Uttar Pradesh state but the productivity is below the state average, which calls for various technological interventions, development of infrastructure and marketing strategies. This study assessed the profitability of pulse cultivation, identified the constraints and suggested policy measures using the data collected during 2016-2017 from 100 pulse growers selected from two backward districts of the Bundelkhand region, namely Jalaun and Hamirpur. Growth in area, production and yield was estimated using data for 1980-2015 through compound annual growth rate and the highest growth was observed during the 1980-1990 period. Modern cost concepts were used to assess the profitability of pulse cultivation and results revealed that the cost of cultivation per hectare was significantly higher in pigeon peas in comparison to gram, pea and lentil crops. The marketing charges paid by the village trader, wholesaler and retailer ranged between INR 20 to INR 40 per quintal for different crops. It was also observed that the quantum of marketable surplus and its percentage share to total production in pigeon peas, gram and lentils increased with the increase in the size of land holding. The pulse production in the region is faced with constraints related to production, processing and marketing. Hence, technologies and infrastructure need to be embraced through suitable policies to favor farmers, so as to maintain balance and keep the interest of both producers and consumers. |
