Abstract

"The present study pertained to the profitability and resource use efficiency of cabbage production in high hills of Himachal Pradesh. The study was based on primary data collected through a survey method for the agricultural year 2020-21. The gross and net returns over total were observed as higher in Zone-IV (` 296562.89 and ` 140713.96, respectively) in comparison to Zone-III, thus making it a profitable venture. Cobb- Douglas production function was used to determine the factors affecting the yield of cabbage in both zones. It has been observed that seed, fertilizer, FYM, irrigation and Labour were significantly affecting the production but plant protection chemical was not found significant. Efficiency ratio for cabbage in case of fertilizer, showed a negative impact on gross returns. It shows the overutilization of seed and fertilizer and adjustment in seed and fertilizer value is required. The findings of the study strongly recommend the optimum use of the resources in order to attain desired increase in cabbage cultivation and ultimately the productivity. The government should arrange a farmer training programme to ensure proper fertilizer use and other technical knowledge."

喜马偕尔邦温带（高山）卷心菜生产的效益和资源利用效率

“本研究涉及喜马偕尔邦高山卷心菜生产的盈利能力和资源利用效率。该研究基于2020-21农业年通过调查方法收集的初步数据。与第三区相比，第四区的总回报和净回报高于总回报（分别为296562.89和140713.96），从而使其成为一家盈利企业。利用Cobb-Douglas生产函数确定了影响两个区域白菜产量的因素。据观察，种子、肥料、FYM、灌溉和劳动力对产量有显著影响，但植物保护化学物质不显著。在施用化肥的情况下，卷心菜的效率比对总收益产生了负面影响。这表明种子和肥料的过度利用，需要调整种子和肥料值。研究结果强烈建议优化利用资源，以实现卷心菜种植的预期增长，并最终提高生产力。政府应安排农民培训计划，以确保正确使用化肥和其他技术知识。“

期刊介绍： Economic Affairs is a journal for those interested in the application of economic principles to practical affairs. It aims to stimulate debate on economic and social problems by asking its authors, while analysing complex issues, to make their analysis and conclusions accessible to a wide audience. Each issue has a theme on which the main articles focus, providing a succinct and up-to-date review of a particular field of applied economics. Themes in 2008 included: New Perspectives on the Economics and Politics of Ageing, Housing for the Poor: the Role of Government, The Economic Analysis of Institutions, and Healthcare: State Failure. Academics are also invited to submit additional articles on subjects related to the coverage of the journal. There is section of double blind refereed articles and a section for shorter pieces that are reviewed by our Editorial Board (Economic Viewpoints). Please contact the editor for full submission details for both sections.
