Twelve million people in India depends on coconut for their livelihood either directly or indirectly. But the prevailing practice of determining the price of coconut by the price of coconut oil which is highly fluctuating in nature has resulted in non-remunerative price for the coconut farmers. To promote the sustainability in the coconut sector, it is imperative to delink the sector from dependency of coconut oil and enhancing the production of diversified coconut products. The present study was conducted with the objective of studying viability of tender coconut cultivation among small, medium and large farmers as a measure of product diversification. The investment decision model was used to analyse the viability of investing in tender coconut cultivation. Research results showed that the NPV was Rs.5.71 lakhs, Rs. 4.87 lakhs and Rs. 5.37 lakhs and the BCR was 2.99, 3.6, 3.2 for small, medium and large-scale tender coconut farmers. The IRR was 18.9 percent, 17.2 percent and 18.3 percent for small, medium and large tender coconut farmers respectively indicating that tender coconut cultivation is financially feasible. The data used for the potential 25 years of economic life of plantation, tender coconut plantation is profitable in the study area.","PeriodicalId":500025,"journal":{"name":"International journal of statistics and applied mathematics","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135433198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While for price data of castor was collected from AGMARKNET (www.agmarknet.gov.in). Looking to the seasonal indices, the lowest and highest seasonal indices of castor price were happened in May and August respectively for all the castor markets except Patan market. The results showed that the lower instability for price under castor was observed in Mehsana (1.045), Rajkot (0.999), Gandhinagar (1.158), Banaskantha (1.074), Patan (1.903) and Sabarkantha (1.089) districts. Majority of the districts showed the low level of instability for price. There may be chance of volatility persist in these markets yet it should be subjected to formal ARIMA effect test to confirm the presence of volatility. The seasonal component was estimated by fitting the cubic trend in Mehsana, Rajkot, Gandhinagar, Banaskantha and Sabarkantha markets. However in Patan market the trend observed in compound, growth, exponential and logistic. The results were obtained from the application of univariate ARIMA techniques to produce price forecasts for castor crop and precision of the forecasts were evaluated using the standard criteria of lower value of RMSE, MAPE, MAE MSE with higher value of Adj.
