INTRODUCTION

KALANAMAK RICE• Kalanamak is so named because its husk is black but

Kernel is white (Kala= black).It is famous for taste andaroma.

• Kalanamak is the most popular scented rice variety grownin Uttar Pradesh. It is among one of the most importantscented rice varieties of India.

• It is grown widely in Tarai area of Uttar Pradeshadjoining Nepal particularly in the districts ofSiddharthnagar, Santkabirnagar and Basti and in smallpockets in districts Gorakhpur, Mahrajganj, Balrampur,Gonda, Shrawasti.

(North Eastern Plain Zone of eastern UP).

Cont.……

According to H.N. Singh et. al., (2006 ) there is no

official record, but extensive discussion with farmers of

its native area of cultivation revealed that Kalanamak

used to be the most popular variety in this area until the

1970s. Even during the 1990s, statistics show that

Kalanamak was grown on more than 8 % of the rice area

in Siddhartha Nagar alone.

OBJECTIVES

• To study the comparative economics of Kalanamak

rice and Hybrid rice.

• To examine the resources use level in Kalanamak rice

and Hybrid rice.

• To study the supply chain of kalanamak rice.

Review of literature

• Nasurudeen and Mahesh (2004) compared the economics of rice

cultivation in karaikal region of Pondicherry (UT).They found that

total cost per hectare was Rs. 15,040 and Rs. 19735 for direct sown

paddy and transplanted paddy, respectively. The yeld level was

found to be more in the case of transplanted paddy (4185kg/ha)

than that in the direct sown paddy (3590kg/ha). However, net return

were more for direct sown paddy (6500/ha) than for the

transplanted paddy (Rs. 5375/ha). In spite of the of the low yield

level direct sown paddy proved to be more profitable as it reduced

the requirement of resources and cost of cultivation.

Cont.……

• Pawar et al. (2012) investigation was carried out a study using

multistage sampling. The technique like mean, percentage ratio and

cost concept of cost-A, cost-B, cost-C were used to analyze the

data.The result revaled that the net profit of 0.58 hectare mulberry

garden was Rs. 6233.55 and per hectare mulberry garden was Rs.

10747.43. the output input ratio was 1.17 per quintal cost of leaves

production was Rs. 405.90, in case of marketing of mulberry

leaves . It was clear that mulberry leaves were produced on own

farm as raw material for silkworm.

ANALYTICAL TOOLS

1.Calculation of Costs:-

Descriptive statistics will be used to workout costs.

Costs:

Cost A1 = Value of purchased material inputs (seed, insecticides and pesticides, manure, fertilizer),hired human labour, hired farm machinery, depreciation on farm implements and farm buildings, irrigation charges, land revenue cesses and other taxes, and interest on working

capital, etc.

Cost A2 = Cost A1 + rent paid for leased-in Land.

Cost A2+FL = Cost A2 + imputed value of Family Labour.

CONT…..

Cost B1 = Cost A1+ interest on value of owned

capital assets (excluding land).

Cost B2 = Cost B1+ rental value of owned land (net

of land revenue) and rent paid for leased-in land.

Cost C1 = Cost B1 + Imputed value of Family Labour.

Cost C2 = Cost B2 + Imputed value of Family Labour.

Cost C3 = Cost C2* + 10% of Cost C2+ on account of

managerial functions performed by farmer.

CONT…..

Returns:

Farm business income = Gross income – cost A1/A2

Family labour income = Gross income – cost B

Net income = Gross income – cost C

Farm investment income

= Farm business income – imputed value of family labour

(or)

=Net income + imputed rental value of owned land + interest

on owned fixed capital invested
