Abstract
A profitable comparative analysis of tomato
production in Haryana under different protected structures was done. The
results revealed that naturally ventilated polyhouse (NVPH) was around 34 per
cent costlier compared to net houses. The results indicated that the NVPH had
the highest total cost (cost C ) incurred on tomato in the district of Sonepat
(?872492), as compared to Karnal 2 (?865752)
and Hisar (?832322) and B: C ratio was highest in Karnal district (1.19) among
the three districts. In the case of a net house, the highest total cost was
incurred in Sonepat (?626197) compared to Hisar (?612524) and the B: C ratio
was found to be highest in Sonepat (1.48) compared to Hisar (1.47). It was
observed that Channel-III (producer to direct consumer) was a highly efficient
marketing Channel. Moreover, this research will aid in formulating effective
policies to reduce the cost of protected structures and improve the efficiency
in other market Channels.
