chrysanthemums in the Ahmednagar district was about 266 hectors in 2008-09. Two
tehsils viz. Nagar and Parner of Ahmednagar district were selected for the study. For

cultivators a list of the flower growers was obtained from the revenue records at the
selected villages. The required number of cultivator's form each village was selected
randomly. In all 150 chrysanthemum growers spread over ten villages from the total
sample of the study. For the purpose of analysis, the famers were grouped in to three
classes on the basis of total holdings, small holdings (1-4ha), medium (4-10ha), and
large (above 10ha). According to 40 families were selected from the group of small, 50
