Key Points

  • Production of sugarcane decreased from 0.35 lakh hectares in 2017-18 to 0.28 lakh hectares in 2021-22, indicating a significant decline.
  • The study involved interviews with 120 farmers across six sugar factory regions, focusing on their challenges and perspectives.
  • Ranked constraints included labour shortages for operations, lack of knowledge on pest control, and high wage rates affecting production.
  • Identifying these constraints highlights the need for targeted interventions to improve sugarcane cultivation and farmer support.

Abstract

The study was conducted in the sugarcane growing districts namely Nizamabad, Kamareddy, Medak, Wanaparthy and Khammam, where the total (six) sugar factories were located in Telangana. The area under sugarcane cultivation declined from 0.35 lakh hectares in 2017-18 to 0.28 lakh hectares in 2021-22. To find out the problmes encountered by the farming community was try to identified during our field visits to various sugar factory regions, farmers were personally interviewed to understand the situation and gather their perspectives.The total 120 number of farmers were selected randomly with 20 number per each factory jurisdiction randomly. The structure schedule was developed keeping in view of the objectives and variables to be studied. The responses were collected personally for data collection. Among the different 6 type of constrains Viz. situation constraints, technological constraints, financial constraints, managerial constraints, crop management constraints, infrastructural constraints were identified. ‘Shortage of labour for intercultural operations’ got 1st rank in the situational constraints. Lack of knowledge about pest and disease control got 1 st rank in the technological constraints. High wage rate of labours during for harvesting got 1 st rank in financial constraints. Poor turnout by labourer’s 1 st rank in managerial constraints. Occurrence of heavy weed growth got 1 st rank in crop management constraints. Lack of adequate machineries got 1 st rank in infrastructural constraints.
