Performance Analysis of Farmers Practicing Groundnut Based Cropping Systems

AbstractPerformance analysis of cropping systems involves evaluating their economic, agronomic, and environmental outcomes to identify the most efficient and sustainable practices. By comparing the performance of farmers practicing different cropping systems, researchers and policymakers can identify best practices, recommend strategies for improvement, and develop policies tailored to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability. This ensures that farmers not only maximize their yields and incomes but also contribute to long-term environmental conservation and food security goals. The study reveled that majority groundnut farmers belongs to low to medium level of performance. Through the adoption of modern farming technologies, improvements in groundnut yield, and the promotion of groundnut-based oil products, India can enhance its self-sufficiency in edible oil production, reducing its dependence on imports and meeting domestic demand more effectively.
