Constraints Study in Sugarcane Cultivation: A Micro Approach

Abstract

The study was conducted using multistage stratified, purposive cum random sampling procedure and hundred respondents were selected from a block of district. Primary data was collected through personal interview technique and required secondary information for the reference was taken from the records available at district and block offices. Simple tabular, functional analysis using Garrett ranking method was used to cook the inferences. As per the results found and seen from the analysis, lack of technical knowledge was found as the first rank followed by labor constraints in  peak time at the second position. Technical knowledge includes ability to access input use efficiency, market knowledge, mechanized practices and many more.  Seeds unavailability at the third rank and irrigation facility and unavailability of finance facility were found at fourth and fifth ranks respectively. Rest all problems were found afterwards. Proper remedies should be imposed in rural societies so that, this decline of major economic crop should be controlled.
