TAILIEUCHUNG - Farmer’s willingness to pay for better agricultural information – A tobit regression approach

Agriculture is said to be a gamble with the vagaries of Monsoon. Most of the farmers face a lot of risky and uncertain situation in which they have to make decisions. Traditionally agricultural information is provided by state development departments, ICAR institutions, commodity boards and NGOs. The recent trend is private extension for high value crops. Farmer needs authentic information to make agriculture a viable and profitable venture. In this context, a study was planned to know the willingness of farmers to pay for better agricultural information. The study covered three districts that are Raichur, Gulbarga and Koppal districts consisting of one irrigated and one rainfed taluk each. Data were gathered from two villages in each taluk making a total sample size of 180 respondents. The results revealed that per cent of the respondents in irrigated and per cent in rainfed taluks were satisfied with the quantum of information available to them to make decisions. Further assessments were made to know the willingness to pay more money for obtaining additional information and the results revealed that % in irrigated region, % in rainfed region and % in overall were willing to pay more money for additional information. The data on quantum of payment were subjected for tobit regression analysis and the results revealed that farmers were ready to pay Rs for composite information which was significant at 1 per cent level, followed by Rs. for market information, Rs. for weather information and Rs. for plant protection information for one unit change in decision making behaviour score. From these results it could be concluded that farmers were willing to pay more for competent information. | Farmer’s willingness to pay for better agricultural information – A tobit regression approach
