Rental Markets of Tilling Machinery: Its Forms and Determinants of Participation in the Brahmaputra Valley of Assam

Abstract

Based on a survey of 121 farm households in the Brahmaputra Valley of Assam, the present study finds that the rental markets of tilling machinery are functioning in three forms and they are informal in nature. The participation in such markets is primarily guided by the purpose of extracting more returns from cultivation through mechanisation followed by the requirement to adjust with natural endowment related problems. It is found that the intensity of participation on demand side in rental markets of tilling machinery is determined only by the ownership of tilling implements.
