Abstrakt: The study was carried out with an overall objective of evaluating the efficiency of jackfruit marketing in cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu. The specific objectives were to estimate the cost of cultivation and income obtained by Jack farmers., to compare and analyse the price spread pattern in different channels of Jackfruit marketing and to analyse the constraints encountered by farmers. in Jackfruit processing and marketing. Cuddalore district formed the universe of the study. With regard to selection of taluk, Panruti was purposively selected, since production wise, it occupied the first position among the various taluks of cuddalore district. The estimation of cost of cultivation revealed that, cultivation of jackfruit is more beneficial for farmers. The study also revealed that, market intermediaries gain more profit compared to the producer. This problem could be addressed only if the activities of market intermediaries are curtailed. An effective way in limiting the activities of intermediaries might be, announcement of advisory prices by the Government. Lack of awareness and needed guidance on value addition and export related affairs are found to be the major constraints prevailing in the jack growing belt. Establishment of a full fledged Jack Promotion Council in an identified potential locality could solve these issues by providing periodical trainings on these aspects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
