Abstract:
The Present study is an attempt to examine resource use efficiency and constraint analysis for paddy production in North Konkan region of Maharashtra (India). The primary data was collected from 180 sample farmers during the year 2022-23. Farmer were divided into low, medium and high as per level of adoption. Cobb- Douglas production function was used to obtain input use efficiencies of paddy crop. The gross expenditure on Nitrogen (0.86**), Potassium (0.07**) contributed positively towards gross income for paddy. Whereas phosphorous (-0.10) and labour (-0.35) indicated negative relation to yield. The Cobb- Douglas production function estimates indicated that the ratio of MVP/MFC in case of labour, Nitrogen, Potassium, Potash indicated under utilization of input. The sum of elasticity was 0.41, which implies that there is decreasing return to scale. Farmers in the study area faced constraints such as a less amount of capital and unavailability of good quality seed. Suggestions received from paddy growers included developing innovative, low-cost equipment to reduce labour expenses and encourage research in rice cultivation.
