Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Cotton often referred as “White Gold” has been in cultivation in India for more than five thousand years. India occupies the 2nd place among the cotton growing countries of the world. The increased industrialization and urbanization in India is bringing about shifts in cotton consumption pattern. This in turn, has resulted in increased demand for cotton. The present study is carried out with the objective of studying the production and marketed surplus in case of cotton crop. Production and marketed surplus of cotton are very important for the development of agro based industries as well as for the economic development of the country. Both play an important role in country‟s export earnings also. Therefore, it is important to study the production and marketed surplus of cotton crop. In present study, two concepts viz. "marketable surplus" and "marketed surplus" have been coined to ascertain the quantity of produce available for marketing and the quantity actually marketed. The study suggests some measures for raising the production activity as well as area under cotton crop so that its production and marketed surplus may increase.
