Agricultural Situation in IndiaSummary: Farmers in Uttar Pradesh face major problems in agriculture, particularly related to infrastructure, production, marketing, irrigation, and finance to a large extent. Besides, some natural constraints are also responsible for low productivity in agriculture. Hence, the present study was conducted in the selected Eastern districts of Uttar Pradesh with the purpose to identify institutional, social, and economic constraints that hamper the development and growth of agriculture. At the district level, the primary data is collected to analyze the farmers’ perception regarding constraints which is responsible for low agricultural productivity. The results show that the biggest problem as reported by the farmers was small and fragmented landholdings. Besides, high cost of irrigation, high rate of interest on loan, irregular transport facilities, lack of cold storage, and loss of produce on-field due to calamity have been mentioned as major problems by a large number of farmers. These problems and constraints are major areas of concern for Government and policymakers. To tackle these problems, effective delivery mechanisms are needed that can translate into effective facilitation in terms of increasing productivity or decreasing cost at the ground level. – Reproduced
