It was mainly exported to India and the domestic prices depend on India‟s demand. India published a notification restricting the import of pulses through a strict quota for black gram, green gram, and pigeon pea in August, 2017. This study attempted to compare the profitability of black gram production before and after India‟s import suspension. Total 120 sample farm households were chosen by using a simple random sampling method from six villages in Kyauktaga Township. The study principally aimed to examine changes in cultivated areas, profitability of black gram production and to analyze the determinants on profitability of black gram production before and after India‟s import suspension. Descriptive, cost and return, and regression analyses were employed. The findings indicated that after import suspension, cultivated areas decreased in black gram and increased in green gram significantly in the study area. Accordingly, incomes from black gram as well as crop income were also decreased. Sample farmers mainly relied on crop income, and non-farm and remittance income sources became more important after import suspension. Therefore, it needs to create non-farm employment opportunities to sustain livelihoods of farmers. The effective price of black gram was significantly decreased and benefit-cost ratio before import suspension was about double than after import suspension. Hence, research and development are required for alternative crop substitution. The regression analysis showed that, effective yield of black gram, total material cost, hired labour cost and number of credit sources were significantly influenced on profit of black gram production before and after import suspension. To improve production and reduce cost of production, government should promote farmers to achieve systematic usage of inputs and extension services are required to provide improved agricultural practices. Because credit sources are important for profitability of black gram farmers, access to more credits from different sources should be facilitated. Import suspension in the study area had negative effect on the profit of black gram. Thus, government and related institutions need to find out alternative international markets. To penetrate other international markets, quality and standard of black gram are becoming critical factors for farmers. Finally, trade agreement would be needed to compensate the risk of domestic farmers and traders."}]}, "item_1583103108160": {"attribute_name": "Keywords", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"interim": "profitability"}]}, "item_1583103120197": {"attribute_name": "Files", "attribute_type": "file", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"accessrole": "open_access", "date": [{"dateType": "Available", "dateValue": "2020-05-05"}], "displaytype": "preview", "download_preview_message": "", "file_order": 0, "filename": "Pyae Phyo WAi (AEC-96)- Thesis.pdf", "filesize": [{"value": "2407 Kb"}], "format": "application/pdf", "future_date_message": "", "is_thumbnail": false, "licensetype": "license_free", "mimetype": "application/pdf", "size": 2407000.0, "url": {"url": "https://meral.edu.mm/record/56/files/Pyae Phyo WAi (AEC-96)- Thesis.pdf"}, "version_id": "810e2ca1-5a75-47d2-9d44-4c4efd9416cb"}]}, "item_1583103131163": {"attribute_name": "Journal articles", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"subitem_journal_title": "Yezin Agricultural University"}]}, "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": "Pyae Phyo Wai"}]}]}, "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": "2019-11"}, "item_1583159847033": {"attribute_name": "Identifier", "attribute_value": "https://yauor-yau.archive.knowledgearc.net/handle/123456789/147"}, "item_title": "COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PROFITABILITY OF BLACK GRAM PRODUCTION BEFORE AND AFTER INDIA’S IMPORT SUSPENSION IN KYAUKTAGA TOWNSHIP, BAGO REGION", "item_type_id": "21", "owner": "1", "path": ["1582969242608"], "permalink_uri": "http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000000056", "pubdate": {"attribute_name": "Deposited date", "attribute_value": "2020-03-05"}, "publish_date": "2020-03-05", "publish_status": "0", "recid": "56", "relation": {}, "relation_version_is_last": true, "title": ["COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PROFITABILITY OF BLACK GRAM PRODUCTION BEFORE AND AFTER INDIA’S IMPORT SUSPENSION IN KYAUKTAGA TOWNSHIP, BAGO REGION"], "weko_shared_id": -1}
