Rice is primarily, a high energy or high caloric food. It contains less protein than wheat. The by-product of rice milling are used for a varieties of purposes. Rice is life: reflects the importances of rice as a primary source. Data were collected from 100 sample farms spread over 8 village of Sadat block. The overall average size of farms and average number of sample farm families were 1.47 ha 11.37, respectively. Overall farms cropping intensity were found to be 192.93 per cent. Marketable and marketed surplus trends were increasing with increase size of farms. Per farm marketable surplus was observed to be 3.74, 28.86, 32.27 and 125.45 quintals under marginal, small, medium and large size of sample farms, respectively with an average of 19.60 quintals. Per farm marketed surplus was observed to be 6.18, 27.97, 30.52 and 108.90 quintals under marginal, small, medium and large size of sample with an overall average of 19.70 quintal. Marginal farmers were sold more than the marketable surplus to meet their cash obligations and re-purchase the rice from the market in a later period to meet their family and/or farm requirements. It has been observed that the from period December to February covers the maximum disposal of unhusked rice by all size groups of farmers.

Abstract


Rice is primarily, a high energy or high caloric food. It contains less protein than wheat. The by-product of rice milling are used for a varieties of purposes. Rice is life: reflects the importances of rice as a primary source. Data were collected from 100 sample farms spread over 8 village of Sadat block. The overall average size of farms and average number of sample farm families were 1.47 ha 11.37, respectively. Overall farms cropping intensity were found to be 192.93 per cent. Marketable and marketed surplus trends were increasing with increase size of farms. Per farm marketable surplus was observed to be 3.74, 28.86, 32.27 and 125.45 quintals under marginal, small, medium and large size of sample farms, respectively with an average of 19.60 quintals. Per farm marketed surplus was observed to be 6.18, 27.97, 30.52 and 108.90 quintals under marginal, small, medium and large size of sample with an overall average of 19.70 quintal. Marginal farmers were sold more than the marketable surplus to meet their cash obligations and re-purchase the rice from the market in a later period to meet their family and/or farm requirements. It has been observed that the from period December to February covers the maximum disposal of unhusked rice by all size groups of farmers.
