Losses Experienced by Farmers in the Cultivation of Pulses and Oilseeds: A Case Study of Haryana
Journal Title: Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 1
Abstract
Agriculture is nature based activity. Natural environment affect a lot to the productivity of different crops in farming. There are so many risks and uncertainties inherent in agriculture. Some of the risks are related to nature and others are related to market conditions. Most of the times, these risks adversely affect the economic condition of the farmers. The present study has been conducted in Haryana, India with the objective to trace out the different risk factors involved in the main crops of pulses and oilseeds that are grown and most worried by the sample population and also point outs the losses caused by these factors. The study highlights the loss bearing capacity of the respondents and concluded that there was a great difference between the actual experienced losses and loss bearing capacity of the farmers. The study also provides suggestion for improving the financial condition of the farmers, all kinds of risks should be covered under the insurance policies formulated by the government at present or in the future whether they are related to pre-harvesting or post-harvesting.
