Abstract:

Agricultural sector is the primary sector whose growth will act as a catalyst to the growth of other sectors. Theorists have propounded the growth stages in that an economy’s growth is transited from agriculture through industry to the service sector. So far as the state economy is concerned there is virtually no growth in the agricultural sector and in the manufacturing sector. The growth of the economy is mostly contributed by the service sector. However, one cannot neglect the primary sector if one seeks long run sustainable growth of the economy. The performance of the agricultural sector, especially in developing countries often depends on environments outside the reach of policy-makers. The weather, world prices (depending on how much the world demands of agricultural products and how much the rest of the world delivers), external trade barriers, terms of trade and global market access all play pivotal role in influencing agricultural outcomes. The present study is descriptive by nature. The sample was selected based on the convenience sampling or purposive sampling. The sample size is confined as 100 farmers who are having account in the co-operative banks. These farmers are selected from all in the Tanjavore district. Farmers must shift their cultivation pattern from traditional crop to commercial crop, so that they can earn more income from their cultivation. And also use natural seeds and fertilizers for their cultivation.
