ABSTRACT
The present paper was an attempt to study the constraints in production, marketing and storage under
onion cultivation in Haryana. Multi-stage purposive sampling technique was used for the study. On the
basis of Agro-climatic conditions, the state was divided into three zones and one district from each zone
i.e. Yamunanagar, Mewat and Bhiwani was selected. In production constraints high cost of seed (70.00,
93.33 and 83.33%), lack of knowledge about seed/seedling treatment (70.00, 86.66 and 80.00%) and lack
of knowledge about proper harvesting time (93.33, 53.33 and 90.00%) were major constraints. In marketing
of onions, lack of technical knowledge (80.00, 90.00 and 83.33%), large storage losses (76.66, 86.66 and
66.66%) and lack of storage facilities (63.33, 43.33 and 63.33%) were major constraints in Yamunanagar,
Mewat and Bhiwani, respectively due to which farmers were not interested in onion storage.
Key words : Constraints, marketing, production, storage
