Agricultural Situation in IndiaSummary: The transportation and harvesting costs are important components of the overall cost structure of sugarcane. This paper is an attempt to estimate the harvesting and transportation costs based on the eld survey in major producing states. Multistage stratied sampling technique is used to select the sample farmers. The cost of harvesting and transportation is by considering existing operational modes. The overall cost of harvesting on contract-based is nearly Rs. 45 per quintal and Rs. 37 per quintal on daily-wage basis. The overall transportation cost covering all modes and destinations, altogether, is nearly Rs. 15.4 on 'per quintal' basis and Rs. 1.14 on 'per quintal per kilometre' basis with variation in cost by mode and destinations across states due to various underlying local factors such as modes, distance, availability and minimum threshold rates. The state specic costs and problems associated with states, farmers and mills on such operations are discussed. – Reproduced
