Andhra Pradesh during 2018-19. The results revealed that cost of cultivation was high for plant crop than the
ratoon farming with the benefit-cost ratio of 1.10 for plant crop and 1.30 for ratoon crop. Net income for the plant
crop was Rs.34735/- and Rs.41898/- for the ratoon. The coefficients human labour (0.73), manure (0.25) and
seed rate (0.39) were showing positive significant effect on output and plant protection chemicals (-0.08)
showing negative significant effect on output. The price spread analysis for the selected channel indicated that
the producer received 70.83 per cent of consumer’s price in channel 1 (sugar), 81.43% in channel 2 (jaggery).
Total marketing cost was highest for channel 1 (34.30%) than the channel 2 (18.80%). The index of marketing
efficiency was high for channel 2 i.e. 3.33 as compared to 1.06 for channel 1.

To get accurate unbiased results a long-term climate analysis of a particular area required in large variability in both spatially, temporally. For sustainable crop production long term weather analysis act as vital role in alternation of existing cropping patterns. This study aimed at analysing the trend of rainfall events in Prakasam district of Andhra state of India the data consists of annual precipitation time series from 1991-2019. Initially study concerns with analysis of data base using descriptive statistics, later trend change was detected by using non parametric tests. The results indicate an increased trend in June and monsoon season, with a decreased trend in July and winter season at 5% level of significance. Original Research Article

A sample of 128 farmers has been selected purposively from four mandals of Prakasam district in Andhra Pradesh. Technology adoption index, probit regression and poisson model with endogenous regression model used to analyse the impact backward integration on technologies adoption by chilli farmers. The findings show that majority (46.87%) of the chilli farmers who are following backward integration are adopting maximum technologies with technology adoption index 80-90 and the farmers who are not following backward integration (73.43%) are adopting less than four technologies with adoption index <50. The extension service (0.11) and backward integration (0.53) had a positive significant at 10 per cent and 5 per cent levels effect on adoption of technologies.

Multistage random sampling was selected adopted for the sample selection. A total of 128 sample were taken. Two major Agribusiness firms, i.e., ITC and Synthite that are following backward integration in chilli farming in Prakasam district were purposively selected for the study. The decomposition analysis showed that the per hectare returns of integrated farming was 13.28 per cent higher than that of non-integrated farming. The integrated technology component was contributing 3.7 per cent to the total increase in output. The total contribution of changes in the levels of input use to the outcome differences between the two groups was 9.58 per cent. Highlights m Decomposition analysis was used to analyse the impact of backward integration on input use pattern and profitability of chilli farmers, the farmers who are following backward integration are getting higher income than farmers who are not following backward integration.

Under non-integration chilli farming, seed, manures and irrigation are showing positive significant effect on output. whereas, human labour, manures and plant protection chemical are showing negative significant effect on output.Difficulty in meeting quality parameters, low/excess production of chilli and pressure for maintaining quality of produce are the major problems faced by the integrated farmers.The major problems faced by chilli firms are farmers negligence in maintaining quality, frequent price fluctuation in the market and low productivity. The major problems faced by the non-integrated farmers are low production, high cost of cultivation and non-availability of quality seed.

A Study on Production and Marketing of Rice Cultivation in Vizianagaram District of Andhra Pradesh, India, 2020

Tools such as costs and returns, marketing margins, input use efficiency, marketing margins and price spread were used for the study. The results have shown that the Benefit-Cost ratiois 1.05. The input use efficiency has shown a negative significance for chemical fertilizers,pesticides and seed rate. The price spread analysis has shown that the producers receive 27% of the consumer price. Marketing margin for the adopted marketing channel was worked out by comparing the prices prevailing at each stage of marketing. Since used prices were related to a particular point of time and as small concurrent margins were also worked out.

farmers following backward integration (46.87%) are adopting seven technologies with technology adoption
index 80-90; farmers not following backward integration (73.43%) are adopting fewer than four technologies
with adoption index <50. There is a positive and significant effect of extension services (0.11) and backward
integration (0.53) on technology adoption at 10% and 5% levels.

Pulses will help to support the food grain availability to the nation to sustain population growth. Therefore, the study was done to measure the extent of crop diversification of pulses with diversification measure Herfindahl Index (H.I.). The analysis concluded that the value of diversification of Pulses was 0.2632 which indicated more diversion of area towards pulses in India was observed. It indicates, pulses are one of main source to increase the food grain production in the nation.

The production from marine sector has progressively increased nearly by six times during the past 50 years and the landings were estimated at 3.49 million tonnes during 2018. Currently, fisheries contribute 0.83 per cent to national GDP of the country and 4.74 per cent of agricultural and allied activities. Marine fisheries sector also provides employment to nearly 32 lakh people in fishing and allied activities. The share of Indian seafood in the world market has shown an increasing trend over the years. In the last decade the seafood trade doubled both in value and quantity. The average annual growth was constantly increasing for quantity and value of export. The average annual growth was constantly decreasing for quantity and value of import of marine products. The major problems in sea food trade are
