Abstract:
This study examines the challenges and limitations associated with agricultural production and marketing in Serchhip District, Mizoram. The district, with a population of 64,937 as of the 2011 census, relies heavily on agriculture, with over 60% of its inhabitants engaged in farming activities. Despite impressive literacy rates and a significant workforce involved in agriculture, several obstacles hinder the sector's efficiency and growth. Key challenges identified include geographical barriers, such as rugged terrain and inadequate road infrastructure, which impede the efficient transportation of goods. Technological inadequacies also persist, with outdated farming practices limiting productivity. Financial constraints are significant, characterized by limited access to affordable credit and insurance, and volatility in agricultural markets. The lack of well-structured producer organizations further weakens farmers' bargaining power and market leverage. Additionally, deficiencies in agricultural statistics collection hamper effective policy formulation and resource allocation. The study highlights the necessity of improving infrastructure, adopting modern agricultural technologies, enhancing access to financial services, and fostering farmer cooperatives to mitigate these challenges. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and policies can promote sustainable agricultural development and economic resilience in Serchhip District.
