Abstract The objective of the present paper is to analyze the levels, pattern and distribution of income among marginal and small farmers in rural areas of Haryana. The study has concluded that average household income and per capita income is directly related with the agricultural productivity and farm-size. The top 10 per cent earned 10 times more income than the bottom 10 per cent. The marginal and small farmers try to maintain a minimum level of consumption whether they can afford it or not. To overcome this problem, income of the farmers needs to be increased through different measures. Top Keywords Distribution, income, marginal and small farmers. Top |
