Selvaraj N

Banana may be a significant food crop and its greater economic importance among the food crops, since it's one among the leading commodities in agricultural exports. Hence, the assembly performance of the crop is of critical importance in improving the efficient use of resources. Farmers raise the crops with a hope of receiving fair returns for his or her hard labour. For this, they depend on the market conditions, which aren't very conducive to fulfill their hopes and expectations. Forced sales, multiplicity of market charges, malpractices in unregulated markets and superfluous middlemen are the issues faced by the farmers. These problems of selling get further added up by the special features of agricultural commodities namely, their inelastic demand, seasonality in supply, spatially scattered production, bulkiness and perishability. The study covered to spot the determinants of marketable surplus in banana. To review the issues faced by the banana cultivators within the production and marketing of banana. During this study area farmers, were found to not attach importance to fertilizers and pesticides. The farmers are cognizant of their importance but thanks to insufficient funds, they're unable to use fertilizers and pesticides as per the recommendations of the agricultural scientists. Besides, per annum the prices of fertilizers and pesticides keep increasing. Hence, it's suggested that costs of fertilizer and pesticides should be reduced, or they'll be applied to farmers at subsidized rates.
