Abstract

In the present study, the economics of carp culture was investigated in Thanjavur
district, Tamil Nadu (India). Further, a model to measure technical efficiency in
carp farming is also described. The study showed that the annual total cost, total
income and net income per ha were Rs. 8,422, Rs. 21,256 and Rs. 12,834,
respectively. The frontier analysis revealed that cultured carp production can be
enhanced by all the "average farmers" through adoption of the technology followed
by the "progressive farmers" and by optimal allocation of the inputs
