The present study was undertaken on sixty farmers during 2009-10 to examine the economic analysis of Naga King chilli and to assess the resource use efficiency and sustainability value indices of Naga King chilli on different farm size groups. The resource use-efficiency on pooled data for Naga King chilli was found to be maximum on human labour (5.388), followed by seed cost (3.458133) and it found to have negative impact on marketing cost (-3.42835) and FYM cost (3.54689), respectively. Further it was observed that on pooled data the sustainability value indices was recorded as 0.599. As per the client satisfaction index 46.67 per cent were of medium group, followed by 30.00 per cent on low satisfied, while remaining 23.33 per cent were highly satisfied with the extension services available at present. It was further observed, on rank based quotient the foremost constraints was lack of warehouse / go down for proper storage, followed by lack of market information, problem of credit facilities, lack of transportation facilities, etc, which indicated that if such situation alter or taken care, there is great potential to enhance the Naga King chilli growers income subsequently global economy.

Secondary Information

The study was conducted using purposive cum random sampling technique and two hundred respondents comprised of 100 each borrowers and non-borrowers were selected from two block of district including marginal, small and medium categories of farm size. Primary data were collected through personal interview technique and required secondary information was taken from the record available at district and block level. Simple tabular and functional analysis and Garrett ranking were done to draw inferences. As per the result obtained from the study, no much difference was seen between the resource use efficiency of borrower and non-borrower farms and constraints faced by borrower. Since banana is a cash crop and it needs initial costs for its establishment, and after harvesting the crop regular source of income was generated by selling of suckers (seed) plant and its fruits. It’s by-product, leaves, etc. also used for various purposes. Minute inspection of the analysis showed that finance played important role for initiating the cultivation of banana crops showed the resource use efficiency that there is no considerable difference found on sample farms of borrower and non-borrower categories. Constraints faced by majority of the farmers were mainly delay in disbursement of loan and lack of the repayment period insufficient and improper management for withdraws on KCC.

Use Efficiency

The efficiency with which farmers use available resources is very important for agricultural production. This study examines the comparative resource use efficiency (RUE) between aerobic and conventional rice farms in Eastern Dry Zone (Zone-5) of Karnataka. Cross-sectional data were collected from 100 rice cultivating farmers (50 in Aerobic farms and 50 in Conventional farms) using snow ball sampling technique. Cobb-Douglas production function, Marginal analysis of resource utilization, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) were some of the analytical tools used in the study. The mean aerobic farm size was 0.43 ha while in Conventional rice, it was 0.63 ha. The physical water use efficiency (WUE) in aerobic farms (3.84 q/acre inch) was higher than conventional farms (1.64 q/acre inch). Also, the economic WUE was higher in aerobic farms (1643.54 `/acre inch) compared to conventional farms (269.41 `/acre inch). RUE indicated that, resources were not optimally utilized in both Aerobic Rice Cultivation (ARC) and Conventional Rice Cultivation (CRC). Bullock labour, machine labour, seeds and irrigation were underutilized in ARC, whereas, FYM was underutilized in CRC indicating that usage of additional amount of these inputs leads to increase in the returns. The DEA revealed that aerobic rice cultivating farms were more technically and economically efficient compared to conventional rice cultivating farms. Effective policies to promote and create awareness about aerobic rice can boost the rice production and productivity sustainably. The focus should be given to optimal allocation of resources which enhances the farm productivity and returns

Use Efficiency

This study evaluated resources–use efficiency among rice farmers in Katcha Local Government Area (LGA) of Niger State, Nigeria. The specific objectives are to; describe socio-economic characteristics of the rice farmers, determine the production inputs influencing rice output, resource–use efficiency in rice production and identify constraints associated with rice production. Two-stage sampling procedure was used for selection of 88 rice farmers on which questionnaire was administered. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics, multiple regression model and resource – use efficiency ratio. Results of the analysis revealed that 76.2% of the respondents were males, while 93.2% were married. The mean age, farming experience and household size of the respondents was 46 years, 23 years and 11 people, respectively. The multiple regression analysis result showed that double-log with R2 value of 0.9571 was chosen as lead equation and farmland (4.83, p<0.01), labour (2.34, p<0.05), seeds (4.04, p<0.01) and fertilizer (3.46, p<0.01) had positive coefficients and statistically significant. The efficiency ratio of resources-use in rice production showed that farm size (15.71) was under-utilized, while labour (0.001), seeds (0.554) and fertilizer (0.056) were over-utilized. Major constraints of rice production identified were inadequate training on resources usage (94.3%), followed by problem of pest and diseases (84.1%) and problem of storage facilities (81.8%). These problems ranked 1st, 2nd and 3rd, respectively. In conclusion, the production inputs were not efficiently utilized by the rice farmers. It was therefore recommended that, extension agents should educate farmers about relevant farm management skills in order to optimally utilize resources in rice production.

The study was conducted to examine the resource use efficiency of sesame production in Hong L.G.A of Adamawa State, Nigeria. Multistage sampling technique was used to select fifty seven sesame farmers in the study area. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The results revealed that high percentage (57.9%) of the respondents were female, 91.2% were married and 54.4% were within the age bracket of 31-50 years. Among the farmers, 35.1% attended tertiary institution, most (56.1%) of them had a household size of 3-6 persons and 70% of them had no extension visit. The study also revealed that the majority (70.2%) of the sesame farmers had farm size of 1-2 hectares, 33.3% had a farming experience of 10-15 years, and many had no access to credit (91.%) and membership of cooperatives (86%). The results showed that effects of labour, fertilizer, farm size, chemical and seed were positive and statistically significant. R2 of 90.0% and F-ratio of 65.5 were recorded for the inputs. The study showed that the production inputs (especially labour and seed) contributed to sesame production output and production resources were under-utilized by the farmers.
