The study was designed and conducted in the western zone of Maharashtra to understand the constraints perceived by the small and marginal farmers. The study was carried in eight villages of Pune and Ahmednagar districts with 240 respondents selected by simple random sampling method. Major constraints expressed by the farmers were: high cost of seed, pesticides and fertilizers with average value (64.90), followed by low price/lack of remunerative price (66.88), non-availability of credit institutions (70.09) and lack of proper training and marketing (62.22).
