- Abstract
The present study has been carried out with the objective of studying the impact of lease-in land on agriculture and agribusiness in the Mysuru district of Karnataka. The proportion of farmers who lease land was the highest among semi-medium farmers. The Mysuru district was chosen due to the availability of a larger number of small and marginal farmers. The total cost of broiler production per bird and the cost of dairy units under the leased-in-land system is more than the cost of a privately held poultry and dairy operation. There is a significant gap between leased-in units and owned units due to the existence of fixed rent and varying operations. Ownership of pond units is substantially more expensive than leasing ponds. The surplus resources available on the farm, the non-viability of small farms, and the lack of opportunity that agriculture had positively and significantly influenced emerged as the major reasons for acquiring leased-in land. The major constraints faced by the respondents are: beneficiaries of the government are the actual owners, not tenant farmers; LEC (loan eligibility card) fails to serve the purpose of credit; indebtedness; and timely unavailability of the inputs. Leased-in enterprises have a lower B:C ratio than owned-land entrepreneurs due to high rental values and the possibility of reverse tenancy. By providing access to land and allowing for more efficient use of labour and resources, legalization of the land lease market could help improve agricultural efficiency.
