A study was conducted on contract farming in sugarcane in Thanjavur district of Tamil Nadu during April-May, 2005. The data collected from 100 randomly selected sugarcane contract farmers revealed that assured price, credit, market, inputs, technology and reduced risk were perceived as the major motivating factors for contract farming in sugarcane. The farmers are highly satisfied with assured returns, risk reduction, timely availability of critical inputs including technical guidance, arrangement of credit and transport facility under various dimensions of contract farming. The factors such as delay in making contract, lifiting produce at field, unloading the produce at factory and payment, inadequate field visit, falling groundwater level and partiality towards big farmers were felt by farmers as major constraints in contract farming. Arrangement and supply of inputs in time, regular field visit and interaction with stakeholders to sort out the problems are some of the suggested measures to further improve the perfomance of contract farming.
