The present study was based on primary data and collected from selected farmers to estimate the resource use
efficiency and constraints in production and marketing of tissue culture and prorogated banana in Uttar Pradesh. Result of
study shows that the value of coefficient of determination (R2) and returns to scale were 0.86 and 0.625 respectively for
sucker prorogated banana production while for tissue culture prorogated Banana, the value of coefficient of determination
(R2) and returns to scale were found 0.46 and 0.37 respectively. Result also shows that technical, allocative and economic
efficiencies were higher in case of sucker propagated banana compare to tissue culture banana. The technical, allocative
and economic efficiency of sucker propagated banana were 79.40, 69.30 and 55.02 respectively. Similarly in case of tissue
culture banana they were 75.80, 55.60 and 42.14 respectively. Non availability of labour in sufficient quantity at correct
time was the major problem identified both in sucker and tissue culture banana production. Lack of market for banana
nearer (distant market) to farm or village was major problem felt by the farmer, Lack of regulated market, Non availability
of proper storage facilities and lack of grading and packaging. High cost of planting material was a severe problem in
tissue culture banana. The fluctuation in the market prices, distant location of regulated markets and lack of grading and
packaging of the produce were also some identified problems in the study area.
