Abstract

Sericulture might be considered as an important area for uplifting the economy of rural masses of Assam as the nature has endowed with favorable climatic and environmental conditions for various silk producing worms and their food plants. The research study was undertaken in the purposively selected Dhemaji districts of Assam during the year 2022 with the objectives to study profile characteristics of Eri rearers and to explore the problems faced by them. A total of 120 farmers were selected as respondents and data were collected by following simple random sampling technique by the personal interview method using standardized structured interview schedule. Constraints faced by the Eri silkworm rearers were majorly categorized into five broad categories, viz., personal problem, non-availability of resources, problems during rearing of silkworm, marketing problems and problems related to post cocoon sector of sericulture Appropriate statistical tools viz. frequency, percentage, mean was employed to analyze the data. Findings revealed that majority of the respondents termed “lack of capital” (2.86), “unavailability of rearing equipment” (2.66), “could not get seed in time” (2.88), “involvement of middle men” (2.75) and “lack of availability of spinning machine” (2.73) as the most serious problem under each category.
阿萨姆邦德马吉地区农业发展制约因素研究
蚕桑养殖可能被认为是提升阿萨姆邦农村经济的一个重要领域,因为大自然赋予了各种产丝蠕虫及其食用植物有利的气候和环境条件。该研究于2022年在阿萨姆邦的Dhemaji地区进行,目的是研究Eri抚养者的概况特征,并探讨他们面临的问题。选取120名农户作为调查对象,采用简单随机抽样技术,采用标准化结构化访谈时间表的个人访谈法进行数据收集。鄂里家蚕养殖者面临的制约因素主要分为个人问题、资源不可获得问题、养蚕过程问题、市场问题和蚕业茧后环节问题五大类,采用频率、百分比、平均值等统计工具对数据进行分析。调查结果显示,在每个类别中,大多数受访者认为最严重的问题是“缺乏资金”(2.86)、“没有饲养设备”(2.66)、“不能及时获得种子”(2.88)、“中间人介入”(2.75)和“没有纺纱机”(2.73)。
