A Study on Constraints Faced by the Cumin Growers in Adoption of Recommended Cumin Production Technology

The gap between the know how already attained and their application in field is still large despite of considerable advancement in cumin production technology. Cumin is the important spice crop of the Junagadh district. The present research was conceived to know the constraints faced by the cumin growers in adoption of recommended cumin production technology. The important constraints perceived by cumin growers were weight and quality loss during storage and transportation, inadequate and irregular power supply, high charges of electricity, inadequate storage facilities, lack of marketing infrastructure facilities, lack of post harvest management facilities and fluctuation of cumin price in the market.
