This paper presents measures of the technical efficiency and factors influencing technical efficiency in cocoon production in Bhaderwah Block of Doda district in Jammu&Kashmir State by using frontier production model. The results revealed that the mean technical efficiency was 68.48 per cent and the study implied that the average output could be increased by 31.52 per cent by adopting proper technology. The stochastic frontier analysis also showed that 76 per cent of the observed inefficiency was due to the farmer's decision making and 24 per cent of inefficiency was due to the random factor outside the control of the farmers. So for increasing the productivity of cocoon in this area, it is very important that the existing technologies should be properly utilized.Keywords

An investigation entitled economic analysis of cost and returns of Basmati rice in Jammu district of J&K state was conducted in Basmati grown two different development blocks of Jammu district (R. S. Pura and Bishnah) during the agricultural year 2011-12. Four villages from each block were selected randomly. Further, from each village, 10 farmers were selected randomly, so as to constitute a total sample size of 80. Primary data on costs and returns of the Basmati was done by interviewing the farmers with the help of specially structured and pretested schedule and by visiting growers. The per hectare total costs of cultivation (cost-C2) of Basmati rice worked out to be Rs. 34107.21, Rs. 36895.48, Rs. 39414.98 and Rs. 40517.49 in case of marginal, small, medium and large farms, respectively, with an overall average farms of Rs. 38199.29 while as the respective cost A1, cost A2,cost B1, cost B2 and cost C1were Rs. 17876.26, Rs. 17876.26, Rs. 19363.48, Rs. 28521.21 and Rs. 24949.48 in case of marginal farms, Rs. 20305.58, Rs. 21745.58, Rs. 22469.84, Rs. 32691.48 and Rs. 26673.84 for small farms, Rs. 21804.10, Rs. 25004.10, Rs. 24622.52, Rs. 36183.98 and Rs. 27853.52 for medium farms, and Rs. 23094.17, Rs. 26694.17, Rs. 26315.43, Rs. 38287.49 and Rs. 28545.43 for large farms and on an average of overall farms were Rs. 20610.69, Rs. 23410.69, Rs. 22972.38, Rs. 34259.83 and Rs. 26911.84, respectively. The overall per hectare returns of Basmati rice were Rs. 53869.00, Rs. 53585.83, Rs. 53462.04, Rs. 54118.08 for marginal, small, medium and large farms with an average of overall farms was Rs. 53684.06. The benefit cost ratio on the total cost of cultivation was 1: 1.57, 1: 1.45, 1: 1.36 and 1: 1.34 for marginal, small, medium and large farms with an average of overall farms were 1: 1.40.Keywords

India is world’s largest milk producer, accounting for more than 16 per cent of worlds total milk production and is the world’s largest consumer of dairy products. The annual milk production of Jammu and Kashmir was estimated 16.51 lakh tonnes and annual compound growth rate was 2.23 percent in 2014-15. The per capita availability of milk is 302 g/day and its annual compound growth rate was -4.43 per cent in 2013-14. In every market there exists organised and un organised sectors for the marketing of the milk and dairy products. In the organised and un organised sector, there are two main agencies- the milk vendors and the halwais, who collect milk from cattle breeders and supply it to the consumers at their doorstep. The organised sector dairies like JKMPCL, They collect milk from their collection depots or points and transport it to the milk plants for processing and manufacturing. The present study was carried out on the basis secondary data and assisted by primary input from the JKMPC. The results revealed that the growth rate of production of milk during the year 2013-14 to 2014-15 showed increased trend from 0.98 per cent to 2.23 per cent. The per capita availability of milk during the year 2009-10 was 379 g/day but in 2012-13 the annual growth rate of per capita availability was 10.23 per cent showed negative trend in growth rate. The compound growth rate was found negligible in every month like, as in the month of September, 2014, the total sales were 178084 and calculated CGR was 0.03 per cent negative and comprised value of Rs.48.23 lakhs but in the month of October 2014, the result showed increase in the sales to 252258 with CGR 0.03 per cent and had value of Rs. 77.91 lakhs which revealed huge growth of sales of pouch milk in Kashmir division. For total value the compound growth rate was found to be highest 0.17 per cent in the month of December, 2014 where as lowest -0.13 per cent in March 2015.Keywords
