DESCRIPTION
There has been a drastic change in the agricultural scenario of the country since from the economic liberalization and globalization. This has resulted in the change of cropping pattern from the traditional food grain crops to modern commercial crops, which includes horticultural and garden crops. In this direction, the large and medium farmers have been easily changing the cropping pattern according to the growing demand for various products. Whereas, the marginal and small farmers have been finding it difficult to change their cropping pattern, as the crops, which are being cultivated on commercial basis are highly capital intensive. Therefore, the Contract Farming is one of the solutions to take care of the problems of these categories of the farmers, because in the Contract Farming the farmers get a kind of holistic support from the contracting firm or the trader who are involved in the contract business.
