Rice is a major crop that is grown in more than 110 countries. The
total area planted under rice in India is 44.0 million hectares
which is largest in the world against a total area of 156.6 million
hectares. The average yield of rice in India is 3.2 tonnes/hectare
alone. The reasons for low yield are limited area under irrigation,
seasonal shortage of resources and delay in land preparation and
transplanting. A study on economics and major constraints in rice
cultivation in Kaithal district of Haryana was conducted during
2009-10.Total costs in rice production amounted to be Rs.
33778.68/ha. Average yield was 4.99 t/ha. Benefit-cost ratio worked
out to be 1.27. Pests and disease incidence, lack of remunerative
price and labour shortage were the major constraints in rice
production.
