The present study aims to estimate the marketable and marketed surplus of paddy and to identify the factors influencing them. Required primary data were collected through interview method from 40 paddy farmers in Ambasamudram block of Tirunelveli district. To identify the factors influencing marketable and marketed surplus, multiple regression technique was employed. On average, the marketable and marketed surplus was 78.88 and 77.17 per cent respectively. The results showed that marketable surplus is higher than marketed surplus in case of large farms while marketable surplus is lower than marketed surplus in case of small farms. Area and average productivity were significantly positively related with marketable surplus and it decreases with an increase in family size and quantity retained for wages. Area, production, financial obligation and current prices showed positive relationship with marketed surplus while family size and family consumption showed inverse relationship in sample farms.
