Abstract

Finding out the problems that farmers in the agriculture sector face is the main objective of this study. Food items are crucial for preserving health and quality of life. Many countries throughout the world mostly depend on agriculture, and farmers are the backbone of any economy. This study's main objective is to determine the challenges faced by farmers in the Sambalpur district. This essay seeks to clarify the many problems that farmers encounter, such as those pertaining to production, labour shortages, a lack of pesticides and fertiliser, a lack of technical know-how, inadequate irrigation systems, a lack of machinery and equipment, marketing-related problems, a lack of suitable market facilities, financial difficulties, and a decline in soil fertility. In order to study the goal, primary data was gathered from the farmers, and a convenient sample technique was used to get responder perspectives. SPSS was used to analyse the data.
