Description The Study was conducted in Nasik and Sangli districts of Maharashtra during the year
2004-07. Totally, 110 farmers who have exported their grapes in the year 2003-04 were
purposively selected for the study. The data were collected from the respondent by using
questionnaire and were scored, tabulated and analysed by suitable statistical tools.
The results indicated that, majority of the respondents had knowledge about preproduction
procedure for export; most of them had knowledge about quality production for
the grape export and had low knowledge about post harvest practices for export. Cultivation
practices like girdling, thinning, hormone management, nutrient management, water
management, disease and pest management practices to meet export standards were adopted
by majority of the respondents.
The major constraints faced by the respondents were; difficult to replace the varieties
after plantation (production constraint), high rate of interest for the loan availed (financial
constraint), more incidence of paste and diseases, irregular supply of electricity (general
constraints), high initial investment for garden establishment (constraint related to cost), and
difficult to meet exports standards of grape (export constraint).
It was found that respondents used informal sources with high intensity than formal
sources. More than one third of the respondents use MAHAGRAPES as regular source of
information. Respondents were depending on private consultant and private exporter for
exporting their grape produce. Majority of the respondents used friend as regular source of
information.
The profile analysis of respondents revealed that, they belonged to the all the three
age groups, all of them had education upto middle school and above, more than one third of
them belonged to small land holding category, majority of them belonged to medium
extension participation category and belonged to medium risk orientation, medium economic
orientation, medium innovativeness and medium to high management orientation.
