Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important cereals next to
rice and wheat, in the world as well in India. It is one of the
most versatile crops and can be grown in diverse environmental
conditions and has diversified uses in human food and animal feed.
It has got immense potential and is therefore called as "miracle
crop" and also "queen of cereals." The crop occupies third place
among the cereals and it is cultivated over an area of 7.59 million
ha with a production of 14.71 million tonnes and the average
productivity is 1938 kg /ha.In Tamil Nadu, it occupies an area of
0.20 million hectares with a production of 0.24 million tonnes and
an average productivity of 1189 kg/ ha. maize growers face specific
problems in marketing because the feed industries procure maize
through private agencies like village merchants, middlemen problem
etc. In order to help the maize growers to overcome the constraints
social studies are required ultimately. In this regard the present
study is contemplated.
