Title

ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF SMALL LANDHOLDERS IN CAPITALIST FARMING MODEL OF PUNJAB

Abstract

The resource poor small farmers (up to 2 ha) in Punjab, that form about one-third of the total landholdings in the state are facing various challenges as farming is not generating economic viability for this section as compared to the other farmers (more than 2 ha). As per a field survey 2016-17, the percentage of non-viable small farmers was about 56 per cent and that of other farmers was about 18 per cent. The cash crunch pushes them towards indebtedness. Despite aggressive measures to extend the reach of institutional credit, about 20 per cent of their loans are still sourced from non-institutional sources. Of the various state support schemes and subsidies for the welfare of this section, they are able to appropriate only about 7 per cent of the power, and about 9 per cent each of the total fertilizer and canal irrigation subsidies, and the rest goes to benefit other farmers. Moreover, this section is not able to enjoy much of the MSP state bill as they have a smaller marketable surplus in comparison to their larger counterparts. There is a need for extensive rationalized support policies which would uplift this most needy section of the farming community. Cooperative farming, cheap credit, debt waiver, creation of alternate rural employment, etc. go a long way in improving their economic well-being.

Key Words

Small farmers, indebtedness, income and expenditure, agrarian crisis.
