Application of garret ranking technique in studying the problems of mushroom production and marketing in Bilaspur district of Chhattisgarh

Abstract

The study was conducted in Bilaspur district of Chhattisgarh during the year 2022-23 to 2023-24, had analysed the constraints of mushroom on different categories of farmers. The calculate of Garret value and ranking of problems faced by mushroom farmers are shown below. The majority of production reported the constraints viz. Difficulty in maintenance of temperature and humidity which is highest among all the constraints contributes (55.88 percent) which holds rank Ist under Garett ranking, lack of knowledge about mushroom production (53.00 percent), lack of good quality of spawn (50.13 percent), lack of proper spawn mixing (46.75 percent) and lack of skilled human labour (44.25 percent), was the most important constraint faced by the farmers. The calculation of garret value and ranking of problems faced by mushroom farmers are shown below. The majority of marketing reported the constraints viz. poor marketing facility which is highest among all the constraints contributes (52.25 percent) which holds rank Ist under Garett ranking, lack of storage facilities (52.00 percent), Lack of aware about mushroom processing products (51.75 percent), lack of advertisement (49.88 percent) and unawareness about mushroom value (44.13) was the most important constraint faced by the farmers.
