Input and Service Delivering Systems through Contract Poultry Farming in Pune District Navadkar D. S., Kadam S. A., Gulve C. M. Strengthening Scheme, Department of Agricultural Economics, MPKV, Rahuri, Maharahstra Online published on 9 October, 2012. Abstract The relative economics of contract and non-contract poultry farms has been studied and the problems faced by contract farmers and sponsors [Venkateshwara Hatcheries Group Ltd. (VHGL)] has been identified. The data used in the study pertained to the year 2006 and were updated to the current prices. The contracting firm generally preferred middle-aged, educated and experienced farmers having small and medium landholdings, with a fair number of family members from a cluster of villages. Assured price, market, technology and inputs provided by the sponsors are found to be the major motivating forces for adopting contract farming. The net-income per bird has been found to be almost double in contract farming. The resultant output-input ratio over the total cost has been found to be higher in contract farmers (1:18) than in non-contract farmers (1:11). The study has suggested that contract poultry farming should be made more popular by dissemination of its merits. Top Keywords Poultry farming, contract farming, service delivery, Maharashtra.
