Abstract

Recently a study entitled “A study on income, expenditure and resource use pattern of paddy in Tiruvannamalai district” is conducted by a student with a view to analyze the performance of paddy in terms of cost and returns, resource use efficiency, and employment generation. The sample of 30 farmers growing paddy were selected at random from the Thanipadi, Vazhavachannur, Keezhsirupakkam, Perunduraipattu, Thandrampet, Veppur, and Andapattu villages. Average and percentage analyses were used to examine cost of cultivation, labour hours used, quantity of materials used and machine hours used by farmers in each crop production. Regression analysis was employed to measure the influence of selected explanatory variables on independent variables. Joint family constitutes about 43 percent and nuclear family was 57 of the total sample households. Average size of holding of 2.29 acre. Total cost of cultivation for paddy is Rs.17172.08/acre. Gross income from paddy is Rs.38919.09/ac. Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) of paddy cultivation is 2.27. Farmers sell the produce at aggregators, regulated market and mill owners. The human labors were used for sowing & transplanting, cultural operation and chemicals. FYM, chemicals, fertilizer and seed are the major material used in crop production. Rotavator and harvester are the machine used for crop production. About 77 percent of variation in dependent variables explained by the selected independent variables such as labor hours for inter cultural operation and quantity of seed and hours per irrigation.
