Description	Not Available Goalpara is an aspirational district of NITI ayog in the state of Assam. The district is one of the highest producers of banana in the state, however, the productivity remains quite low compared to the national average. The district also shelters the once Asia’s largest banana market. The lower productivity and market related constraints have led to reduction in the charm of the market and repulsion of farmers from cultivating banana. Hence, this study was carried out in the district by studying the soil profiles from inorganic and organically cultivated banana fields. The soils were analysed for fertility properties. Also, the socio-economic constraints were surveyed in the field and data were collected from the farmers. The article discusses the results as problems and prospects, with an aim to help the banana farmers of the district as well as bring out their policy related problems in public domain. Not Available
