Description |
The present study entitled “ECONOMICS OF PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING OF SOYBEAN IN INDORE DISTRICT OF MADHYA PRADESH” was undertaken to study the costs, returns, resource use efficiency and processing aspects of soybean. The study covered two blocks and four villages with 80 farmers growing soybean. The sample farmers were stratified in to small (up to 2 hectares) and large (more than 2 hectares). The data pertained to 2009-2010 were collected through survey method with the help of pretested schedules. Conventional and functional analysis was used to analyze the data and to arrive at valid conclusions. The per hectare cost of cultivation of soybean was estimated at Rs.30,740.85, Rs.28,466.26 and Rs.29,587.43 on small, large and pooled farms respectively and thus exhibiting inverse relationship with the size of the farm. xi The cost of producing a quintal of soybean showed direct relationship with the size of the holding as it was Rs.1,727 on small farms, Rs.1,848.45 on large farms and Rs.1,793.20 on pooled farms. The net income decreased from Rs.13,342.47 on small farms to Rs.8,986.56 on large farms. The same on pooled farms was Rs.10,999.42. The break-even analysis indicated that the break – even output per hectare on small, large and pooled farms was 12.96, 13.13 and 13.10 quintals respectively. The actual output obtained by the farmers exceeded the break-even output. The results of allocative efficiency highlighted that the MVP/MFC ratios were more than unity for human labour and fertilizers on small farms, human labour on large farms and human labour on pooled farms indicating the scope of their further use. The quantity of soybean crude oil and de-oiled cake obtained from crushing 5.6 tonnes of soybeans was one tonne of oil and 4.6 tonnes valued at Rs.39,000 and Rs.64,400 respectively. The net returns obtained per tonne of crude oil were worked out to Rs. 1,301. |
