INTRODUCTION
“I know not how I may seem to others, but to myself I am but a small child wandering upon the
vast shores of knowledge, every now and then finding a small bright pebble to content myself
with”
- Plato
India is a country of villages and major philosophy of people is self production and
self consumption. Though the industrialization and globalization have changed their
philosophy a bit and it is changing day by day, the major part about the role of the
farmer is still confined to the use of traditional methods of farming and procuring.
Reasons for this are endless from illiteracy to small land holdings. But various
government schemes and work had done by other organizations give us a hope to
have a great future of farmers and of India.
India is credited with one of the largest national seed markets in the world.
According to recent estimates, annual sales in Indian seed industry amount to about
Rs. 4000 crore or US $920 million, which include $900 million of domestic sales
and $20 million of international sales. The sale of seeds of field crops alone account
for $ 500 million and the balance is taken by vegetable seeds and other crops. The
total aggregates sales work out to about 4 percent of world trade of $23 billion and
India ranks 8th as far as the domestic seed market is concerned.
Objectives:
Ever since inception the division has been driven by continuous innovation in every
field of activity like Management, Research, Production, Processing, Quality and
Marketing. This has resulted in the establishment of a strong trust and brand equity
of JK seeds amongst the consumers, channel members, suppliers, government
officials and others. The name JK seeds inspire prosperity to all its stakeholders. A
Group of committed, highly qualified, experienced, top-ranking professionals in the
seed industry operate this Division under the guidance and supervision of Top Core
Management.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Sample size:
To represent the population, we have chosen 100 people as a sample of our study.
Sample unit:
We have taken all kinds of people as our sample. Major samples were y middle and
old aged farmers. Diverse group of individuals were interviewed belonging to
different locations, socio-cultural and socio-economical status.
Sampling technique:
We used random sampling techniques because it represents our population best.
Everyday 8,000-10,000 people stepped into farmer’s fair and that is the major
advantage for a student of management especially who is in the field of agribusiness.
Research instrument:
We prepared a self designed questionnaire in which some of the questions were
close ended, however few subjective questions were asked at the time of interview.
Research duration:
Project duration was from October 8th to 11th 2010. Time duration was from 9 am-6
pm.

4).Farmer preference criteria while choosing paddy varieties:
During survey it was found that compared to large farmers small farmers are
investing less amount of money on farming so they are very much price sensitive
when it comes to afford hybrid varieties so they are preferring OP varieties which
are very much less in cost.
Moreover large farmers are concentrating on productivity. Hybrid varieties are more
susceptible to diseases than OP varieties. Large farmers are cultivating Hybrid
varieties despite of occurrence of diseases and cost.they are giving more priority to
productivity. The rice of Hybrid varieties not much taste as compared to rice OP
varieties.

RECOMMENDATIONS
On the basis of study it was found that very few farmers of this region were
using ‘Hybrid paddy varieties’ seeds.
2) Most of the small farmers are concerning about the cost factor,they suggested
that if govt provide subsidies on seeds than willing to cultivate hybrid varieties.
3) During the survey we found that farmers quoted hybrid varieties are more
susceptable to diseases than OP varieties.Comapny should contrate to produce
Hybrid varties with very good disease resisistance varieties than farmers may
prefer the hybrid varieties.
4) Demonstrations about the usage of hybrid varieties & sampling field experiments
can solve the misconceptions of farmers about hybrid varieties.
5) In some regions dealers do not have hybrid seeds stock. So company should
establish closest stock points of hybrid varieties to the farmers. Than availabilty
to farmers is much easy.
