The field experiment was conducted to study the integrated farming approach over conventional method of agriculture farming. An area of 5.6 ha of land was selected for the experimental trial involving twelve small and marginal farmers at village Chakramdas of Vaishali district in Bihar. The initial survey conducted to assess the farming practice and the economics of conventional farming over developed integrated farming systems (IFS). The crop equivalent yield (q/ha), net returns (Rs/ha) and the Benefit: Cost ratio was calculated both as per farmers practice and as per integrated farming approach. Crop + fish +duck +goat integration supersedes over all other integrations in terms of monetary returns (Rs. 1,07, 828/annum) with a sustainability index of 83.9 while in terms of RGEY, Crop + fish + cattle integration supersedes among other integrations (18.76t/ha) but due to more labour requirement it couldn't supersedes over crop + fish + duck + goat integration in economic terms. Under individual component goat rearing again supersedes over other enterprises with a B: C ratio of 2.7. Additional nutrient gain in terms of NPK was found highest with poultry upon nutrient recycling within the system.

The study was conducted at Dingapota Haor under Mohongonj Upazila in Netrakona District during April 2011 to March 2012 to examine the profitability of individual farming systems namely crop-livestock-poultry–fishcatching (C-LP- FC), crop-livestock-fish catching-labour selling (C-L-FC-LS), fish catching– labour selling (FC-LS), crop-livestock (C-L), crop-livestock-fish catching (C-L-FC) and crop-livestock-poultry (C-L-P). A total of 60 farm households under six farming systems were selected that analyzed the level of input used in different enterprises. The results showed that the highest net return of C-L-FC farming system was Tk. 119214 and lowest for C-L-P farming system which was Tk. 25131.The estimated total costs of C-L-P-FC, C-L-FC-LS, C-L, C-L-FC and C-L-P farming systems were Tk. 287959, 304430, 62316, 255624, 322654 and Tk. 241354 respectively. Again for C-L-P-FC, C-L-FC-LS, FC-LS and C-L farming systems, the net returns were Tk. 66238, 107578, 74673 and 42967 respectively. Among the farming systems, C-L-FC produced the highest gross margin of Tk. 424859 and CL- P produced the lowest which was Tk. 266486. The benefit cost ratio of all the farming systems was more than 1 which indicates that all of these were profitable. The gross margin, net return and BCR for C-L-FC farming system was reasonably high and the system earned positive management income indicating that the farming systems were economically viable even under all possible full cost assumptions.

Fish consumption is very less in Pakistan as compared to the world. The study was designed to conduct the economic analysis of the fish farming. Two districts were selected with the highest number of fish farms, i.e. Muzaffargarh and Khanewal. A total of 50 fish farms from both study areas were selected randomly for the study. Economic analysis was carried out from the collected data to estimate the profitability of fish farming. In order to make a comparison of profitability of fish farming with crop cultivation on per acre basis, data from 50 farmers from crop sector were also collected. The results revealed that fish farming was more profitable as compared to crop farming in the study area. Net income per acre was estimated at Rs. 252426 from fish farming as compared to net income per acre of Rs. 58612 from wheat-cotton, Rs. 72662 from cotton-rice and Rs. 53290 from sugarcane cultivation. The benefit cost ratio (BCR) of fish farming was calculated 1:1.52 and 1: 1.74 with and without land rent respectively. It illustrates that the enterprise yields 1.52 rupees and 1.74 rupees for every rupee invested. On the basis of results, it is suggested that fish farming should be promoted, especially in the areas of saline soils to enhance food security and uplifting the socioeconomic conditions of small farmers.

Abstract Drip method of irrigation (DMI) has the potential to save substantial water and electrical energy as well as increase the productivity of crops. Studies conducted on different high value crops have confirmed the various benefits of DMI. However, not many studies have researched the income and resource impact of drip irrigation including its benefit–cost pattern using survey data in crops like groundnut, which is an important oilseed crop in India. In this paper, an attempt has been made to fill this gap by using survey data collected from a water-scarce district from Tamil Nadu State in India. The results show that DMI can save about 34% of cultivation cost, 36% of water and electrical energy and increase about 79% of productivity over the same crop cultivated under conventional flood method of irrigation. The drip adopters are also able to generate an additional farm business income of Rs 25,911/acre (1 USD = INR 74.92, 1 acre = 4,047 m2) over the non-drip adopters. The net present worth and benefit–cost ratio estimated using discounted cash flow technique shows that investment in drip irrigation is economically highly viable for groundnut cultivating farmers.

Drip method of irrigation (DMI) introduced relatively recently in India has proved to save sizeable water and augment productivity of crops. Studies conducted mostly on high-value fruit crops have confirmed the various benefits of DMI. However, not many studies have brought out the economic and resource impacts of drip irrigation including its benefit–cost pattern using survey data in crops like okra (ladies’ fingers) which is an important vegetable crop in India. In this article, we have made an attempt to fill this gap by using farm survey data collected from a water scarce district of Tamil Nadu state. We found from this study that DMI can reduce about 15 per cent of cultivation cost, save about 47 per cent of water resources and electrical energy, and augment about 49 per cent of productivity of okra over the same crop cultivated under conventional flood method of irrigation (FMI). Farmers cultivating okra under DMI are also able to generate an additional farm business income of ₹72,711/acre over the non-drip adopters. The net present worth and benefit-cost ratio estimated using different discount rates corroborate that investment in drip irrigation is economically highly viable for okra crop cultivating farmers.

<p>Penguasaan lahan dan produktivitas kakao di tingkat petani masih sangat rendah sehingga berdampak pada rendahnya pendapatan petani. Kabupaten Kolaka merupakan salah satu sentra utama kakao dengan jumlah petani kakao sangat besar di Sulawesi Tenggara. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui profil dan kelayakan usahatani kakao di tingkat petani. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Desa Atula dan Desa Dangia, Kecamatan Ladongi, Kabupaten Kolaka Sulawesi Tenggara pada bulan April sampai Juli 2012. Pengambilan data menggunakan metode survei dengan wawancara langsung terhadap 30 orang petani kakao yang diambil secara acak sederhana. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dan kelayakan usahatani melalui analisis benefit cost ratio (B/C ratio), net present value (NPV), dan internal rate of return (IRR). Hasil analisis dengan discount factor 18% per tahun diketahui nilai NPV Rp19.646.384,00; B/C ratio 2,87; dan IRR 51% sehingga diketahui usahatani layak untuk diusahakan. Pendapatan petani Rp7.697.674,00/tahun (Rp641.743,00/bulan). Jika produktivitas tetap (773 kg/ha) diperoleh break even point (BEP) harga sebesar Rp8.043,00/kg. Jika harga tetap (Rp18.000,00/kg), BEP produktivitas adalah 345,5 kg/ha/tahun. Periode pengembalian modal pada tahun keenam. Hal ini menunjukkan usahatani kakao di lokasi penelitian dapat memberikan sumbangan pendapatan ke petani, meskipun dengan keuntungan relatif kecil. Berdasarkan analisis tersebut, luas areal minimal untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup layak petani adalah 2 ha atau produktivitas di atas 1,5 ton/ha/tahun.</p><p>Kata kunci: Profil usahatani, pendapatan petani, kelayakan usahatani, kakao</p><p>Limitation of land tenure and productivity in farmers’ level causing lower farmers income. Kolaka District is one of cocoa main producers in Southeast Sulawesi with a large number of farmers. The objective of this study was to investigate the profile and feasibility of cocoa farming system in farmers level. The research was conducted at Atula and Dangia Village, Ladongi Subdistrict, Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, in April to July 2012. Data was collected by survey method and direct interview with 30 farmers. Data was analyzed descriptively and feasibility analysis method with criteria of benefit cost ratio (B/C ratio), net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR). The result showed that cocoa farming system is feasible (NPV of IDR19,646,384.00; B/C ratio of 2,87 and IRR of 51%). Farmers income was of IDR7,697,674.00 per year (IDR641,743.00 per month). If the yield is constant (773 kg/ha), then price break even point (BEP) is IDR8,043.00/kg. If the price is constant (IDR18,000.00/kg), then BEP of yield is 345,5 kg/ha/year. This result showed that cocoa farming gives a relatively low level of income for farmers, eventhough it is feasible. Based on those analysis, minimum area of 2 ha per households of productivity or 1.5 ton/ha/yr required to meet income decent life.</p>
