Abstract:

The present study was conducted with the objective to identify constraints in the production and marketing of Capsicum in the Solan District of Himachal Pradesh and to suggest measures to overcome them. Overall, 80 capsicum growers were selected for the study. Farmers were distributed according to land holding size, i.e., marginal, small, semi-medium and medium farmers. The study revealed that among various production and marketing problems, about 73 per cent of the farmers reported problems with diseases in the study area. Which showed significant differences between the different farm categories. The high transportation costs were the major problem faced by the farmers in marketing.
