Pomegranate story

The internal rate of return was set up to be In the diverge of 57-59 per cent which was much higher compared to the make up of capital (9. 5 percent) and and so highly useful. Overall, the proposition of growing pomegranate tree school was highly valueable as revealed by the financial feasibility tests. Key words investment funds pattern, address, returns, pomegranate Introduction per cent of the wide reach on a lower floor pomegranate in the rule. Hence, Chalkier and Hurry chew up was specifically selected for the film.The top small towns having larger flying field under pomegranate nuance were selected. The Information on area under pomegranate crop and number of pomegranate growers from the selected villages was obtained from the respective village accountants (Total). A proportionate s ample of ten per cent of the population from each village was selected randomly. Thus, the total size of the sample selected for the study was 120. The average age of the ample farmers in both talk was found to be 44 eld and much than 50% farmers depended mainly on agriculture as their principal(a) occupation.Around 25% tot tatters in the selected talks completed their primary commandment were as the per cent of illiterate farmer in the selected talks ranged from 12 to 15%. So far as size of family was implicated, it was found to be 7 members in family in both talks. The average size of retentiveness of sample farmers was 2. 30 and 2. 89 ha and the average size of the pomegranate groves was 1. 58 and 1. 47 ha in Chalkier and Hurry talks respectively. The varieties of pomegranate big(a) in the study area were Ganges or haphazard type. The range of age of passenger car orchards was 4 to 15 divisions.The expected procreative life span of pomegranate orchard as estimated by the respondents was 25 years. On an average plant population per ha was 375. For analyzing the data serene during the study, tabular analysis and financial analysis were employ ed. The technique Material and methods of tabular analysis was employed for estimating the investment Pomegranate cultivation is practiced end-to-end the district. Pattern, keep live of pomegranate, pattern of labor However, the large scale litigation of pomegranate is use, yield and return structure of pomegranate etc.In order to grueling mainly in Chalkier and Hurry talk extending know the relative profitability of investment in pomegranate on an area of 260 and 628 hectares and forming 20. 08 and 48. 42 cultivation measures of project evaluation namely. Pay Back * Part of M. Sc. (Agar. ) thesis submitted by the first author to the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharma 580 005, India Horticulture is a fast growing heavens and expects comparatively lower requirements of water and easy adaptability to adverse soil and burn break through land situations.The productivity of fruits and vegetables is of vital importance as it provides higher specie income than cereals per unit of land. India is one of the leading countries in pomegranate production and more than 1. 32 lake hectare area is under cultivation presently. Out of this, nearly 94,000 hectare area is covered in Maharajahs, which produces fruits of over 1 lake metric tones worth close to RSI. 400 scores. In Chitchatted district of Karakas, where the study has been conducted pomegranate is being grown on commercial scale. The area under pomegranate in the district is 1297 ha (10. 9 % of total area under pomegranate in the state). Dry land horticulture is picking up fast in the district. The all-important(a) horticulture crops grown in the district are pomegranate, Saputo, Beer and Papaya. Study of the economics of pomegranate production is indispensable since there is no proper farm product line data on its terms of production. The accurate figures on establishment cost, operate cost and input requirement of pomegranate orchard could be of slap-up help to the pomegranate growers of Ch itchatted district in particular.Therefore, an attempt was make to study the investment pattern in pomegranate orchard and to compute the cost and returns in pomegranate litigation in Chitchatted district. 164 Karakas J. Agric. Sic. ,24 (2) 2011 Period (BP), Net play Value (NAP), Benefit Cost Ratio (BCC), and Internal Rate of go on (AIR) were computed. Results and discussion The cost of establishing a pomegranate orchard up to port can be broadly classified into establishment cost and livelihood cost.So, the establishment cost included not only the cost incurred in the cypher years that is at the time of planting but in addition the costs incurred in maintaining the plants till the time of bearing that is up to trey years tot planting. For establishing, pomegranate orchard investment NAS to e made on land, well, pump set, pump house, plant strong, digging of pits and sprayer and these costs together constituted the material costs of establishment. These costs have to be in vested during the year of establishment of the orchard and are considered as the costs incurred during zero year in the study.During next ternary years farmers has to maintain the orchard by applying fertilizers, manures, chemicals irrigation etc. The costs incurred by the farmers on all these items for the three years are grouped together as cost of sustenance. The total costs of establishment ( display panel 1) were found to be 1,90,888. 1 and 1,89,644. 33 per ha of which material costs constituted 56. 87 and 58. 15 per cent and maintenance costs 43. 13 and 41. 85 per cent in Chalkier and Hurry talk respectively. Similar results were obtained by Giuliani (1990) in his study of the pattern of investment in pomegranate orchards in Bujumbura district, Karakas.The establishment cost 24,229. 53) consisted of material cost in the initial year (85. 65) and maintenance cost (49. 35%) Upton bearing three years. The material cost included the value of land, plant material, cost of digging of pits and planting, well, pump set, pump house, and sprayer. The per hectare total establishment cost worked out to be 24, 224. 53 and returns per orchard was 45,429. 96. The maintenance cost (Table 2) as indicated in the results included the wages of labor as well as cost of materials utilized and fixed costs in Chalkier talk. It was observed that out of Table 1 .Investment pattern in pomegranate orchards SSL. No. Particulars total maintenance cost the major component was variable cost followed by material cost and fixed cost. Under the variable cost the labor cost create an important cost accounting nearly 50 per cent of total maintenance cost, since the crops require Geiger amount labor involvement to favour the important activity like loosening the soil around the form and formation of basin, watch and ward, pruning and training and land preparation etc. Among material cost the major component fertilizers, PC and manure.Since the pomegranate crop is responsively to nutrie nt and as well as in the recent year the diseases like bacterial blight and anthracnose have created lot of problem then to control these diseases the farmers have been trying with different chemicals thus the expenses on these items were found to be higher. So far as fixed cost is concerned the renting value of land formed the major cost component and it is observed that because of the higher productivity of the land and crops which are higher profit fronted the farmers to go for renting of land for the production of pomegranate crops.Even for the farmer who has been come in this crop on their own land where imputed the rental value victorious into consideration ongoing rental rate the cost worked out to be higher. Since the opportunity cost of land was taken into consideration for calculating the rental value of land,it was found to vary over the years. In Hurry talk, the maintenance cost (Table 3) included the wages of labor as well as cost of materials utilized and the fixed costs. It was observed that variable cost formed an important component followed by material cost and fixed cost.
