Using simple random sampling method, the survey was done on 90 farmers from Myingyan and Taungthar townships, 25 wholesalers and 25 retailers (5 each from Yangon, Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw, Myingyan and Taungthar). According to the results, most of the respondents in the study areas operated small scale onion farms of less than 1.2 ha. In terms of growing system, bulb to bulb system was observed in rainy onion growing and seed to bulb system in winter onion growing. Most of the growers used their own seeds and sets, but no usage of either improved or hybrid variety was observed in study areas. Most of the respondents used too dense planting spacing which were around 156 plants/m2. While farmers from Taungthar area commonly used cow dung manure, most of the farmers from Myingyan area apply inorganic fertilizer alone during winter season. In both growing seasons, more split application of urea fertilizer was observed in Taungthar area compared to Myingyan area. Accordingly, the average yield of onion in Taungthar area was higher than that of Myingyan. According to economic analysis, the gross margin per unit of land received from growing winter onion in Taungthar and Myingyan were 952,575 kyat/ha and 346,393 kyat/ha respectively and that from rainy onion in Taungthar and Myingyan were 523,954 kyat/ha and 418,432 kyat/ha respectively. The benefit cost ratio (BCR) for winter onion was 1.35 in Taungthar and 1.15 in Myingyan, while BCR for rainy onion was 1.36 in Taungthar and 1.35 in Myingyan. In both seasons, profitability of growing onion in Taungthar was more positive and attractive to farmers.\r Onions produced in Myingyan and Taungthar townships were marketed along the channel comprising Yangon, Mandalay, Mawlamyine and Nay Pyi Taw markets. The marketing margins and profit of local wholesalers who traded to Mandalay market were observed the highest. The marketing margin (92 kyat/kg) and cost (47 kyat/kg) in Yangon wholesale market were the highest compared to Mandalay and Nay Pyi Taw wholesale markets. The highest profit (53 kyat/kg) was observed in Mandalay wholesale market. In Yangon and Nay Pyi Taw market channels, the highest profit share of consumer price (11.77% and 12.35% of the consumer paid price) was obtained by the farmers. According to the responses of sample farmers, the most serious problems being faced during the onion production and marketing were price fluctuation, labor difficulties, high cost of fertilizers and pesticides. Among them, price fluctuation was determined to be the biggest problem for the farmers. Based on the results, it can be suggested that the practices such as usage of improved varieties, more split application of urea fertilizer and more usage of cow dung manure should be preformed. It also needs to improve the availability of agro-chemical inputs, the storage facilities, processing technologies and marketing efficiency in order to optimize the farmers‟ productivity and income."}]},"item_1583103108160":{"attribute_name":"Keywords"},"item_1583103120197":{"attribute_name":"Files","attribute_type":"file","attribute_value_mlt":[{"accessrole":"open_access","date":[{"dateType":"Available","dateValue":"2020-05-05"}],"displaytype":"preview","filename":"ye win paing MS thesis 2015.pdf","filesize":[{"value":"2784 Kb"}],"format":"application/pdf","licensetype":"license_note","mimetype":"application/pdf","url":{"url":"https://meral.edu.mm/record/205/files/ye win paing MS thesis 2015.pdf"},"version_id":"5a3b44e9-1cff-42d5-9f66-1062e0bc61e0"}]},"item_1583103131163":{"attribute_name":"Journal articles","attribute_value_mlt":[{}]},"item_1583103147082":{"attribute_name":"Conference papaers","attribute_value_mlt":[{}]},"item_1583103211336":{"attribute_name":"Books/reports/chapters","attribute_value_mlt":[{}]},"item_1583103233624":{"attribute_name":"Thesis/dissertations","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_supervisor(s)":[]}]},"item_1583105942107":{"attribute_name":"Authors","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_authors":[{"subitem_authors_fullname":"Ye Win Paing"}]}]},"item_1583108359239":{"attribute_name":"Upload type","attribute_value_mlt":[{"interim":"Publication"}]},"item_1583108428133":{"attribute_name":"Publication type","attribute_value_mlt":[{"interim":"Thesis"}]},"item_1583159729339":{"attribute_name":"Publication date","attribute_value":"2015-01"},"item_1583159847033":{"attribute_name":"Identifier","attribute_value":"https://yauor-yau.archive.knowledgearc.net/handle/123456789/273"},"item_title":"Local Production Practices and Marketing Channel of Onion (Allium cepa var. cepa) in Selected Areas of Myanmar","item_type_id":"21","owner":"1","path":["1582969222431"],"publish_date":"2020-03-05","publish_status":"0","recid":"205","relation_version_is_last":true,"title":["Local Production Practices and Marketing Channel of Onion (Allium cepa var. cepa) in Selected Areas of Myanmar"],"weko_creator_id":"1","weko_shared_id":-1},"updated":"2022-03-24T23:17:05.133565+00:00"}
