Abstract

The economic analysis of crop production and dairy farming has been reported for marginal and small farmers in Punjab for the year 2003-04. It has been found that a majority of the farm households are not able to meet their requirements from their income from crops and dairy farming. Further dairy farming has emerged as a major allied enterprise for supplementing the income of marginal and small farmers in Punjab. Income from off-farm sources has been identified another important factor contributing significantly to the disposable income of these farm households. The study has suggested to further exploit the potential of off-farm sources towards meeting the domestic expenditure. Also, the technical efficiency of crops and dairy farming should be improved to provide more income to farmers.
