Description Quality seeds hold key position as it alone contributes nearly 20-25 per cent more to the
agricultural production. One district for each crop viz., Karnal for paddy, Sirsa for wheat and cotton,
and Bhiwani for rapeseed & mustard and bajra crops were selected purposively representing highest
area under these crops. The data for cost structure in public sector were collected from the HSDC head
office, Panchkula and in private sector, it is calculated on the basis of random sample. Seed industry in
Haryana consists of 12 public and 134 private seed processing units. Area and seed requirement of
paddy, wheat, cotton and rapeseed & mustard showing an increase of about 500, 231, 194, and 178 per
cent while in bajra, it has decreased i.e. -34.71 per cent over initial period. Seed distribution of paddy,
wheat, cotton, rapeseed & mustard and bajra showing an increase of 13, 23, 201, 29 and 1320 times.
Seed requirement and distribution gaps were found to be 83.08, 65.92, 50.36, 10.45 and 23.05 per cent
in paddy, wheat, cotton, rapeseed & mustard and bajra during 2009-10. Processing cost in HSDC was
7.50, 6.07, 5.31, 5.10 per cent in paddy, wheat, cotton, rapeseed & mustard while 5.06, 3.54, 3.73, 2.32
per cent in private processing plant in consumer price. Processing cost of HSDC was 7.97 per cent in
bajra seed. Margins of wholesalers were 4.14, 3.66, 2.63 per cent and retailers were 8.52, 7.17, 6 per
cent found in channel II in paddy, cotton and rapeseed & mustard. In wheat, the margins of wholesalers
and retailers were 6.64 and 7.98 per cent in channel III. Margins of govt. agency were 5.90 per cent in
channel II. Margins of retailers were 10.18, 9.42, and 6.28 per cent in paddy, cotton and rapeseed &
mustard in channel III. In wheat, the margins of retailers were 10.06 per cent in channel IV. Price
spread in channel I was 30.9, 11.14, 25, 14.16 and 44 per cent in paddy, wheat, cotton, rapeseed &
mustard and bajra. Marketing efficiency in channel I was 2.23, 7.97, 2.99, 6.06 and 1.26 in paddy,
wheat, cotton, rapeseed & mustard and bajra. In channel II, it was 0.97, 1.37, 1.49 and in channel III,
1.01, 1.41, 1.66 in paddy, cotton and rapeseed & mustard. In wheat, efficiency was 7.97, 1.10 and 1.18
in channel II, III and IV. SRR of paddy, wheat rapeseed & mustard and bajra were increased to 16.91,
34.08, 89.55 and 76.95 per cent in 2009-10. SRR of cotton was increased to 49.64 per cent in 2006-07.
Major factors which affect seed purchase were includes the non availability of seed in time or desired
variety, higher price, lack of awareness, lack of credit facilities, need to travel long distance etc.
Adverse climatic condition, SRR, performance of desired variety, adoption level of farmers and price
of seed and expansion of area are affects the seed requirements. Irregular supply of seed, adverse
climatic condition, market and transportation facilities, price of seed and expansion of area affects seed
availability.
