| Abstract: | Apple is commercially grown fruit crop and it is popular due to its wide range of adaptability and high nutritive value. The study was undertaken in Chak district of Wardak province in Afghanistan to examine the profitability of apple production and constraints faced by farmers in cultivation. Random sampling technique was applied for selecting sixty farmers and were Interviewed using thoroughly prepared and dually evaluated questionnaire. The cost and returns of apple cultivation has estimated. The Garret ranking technique was adopted to rank the constraints faced by the apple cultivars. The total establishment cost which is calculated for five years from transplanting of apple is 4,66,249 AFG per ha. The variable and fixed cost incurred in establishing an apple garden is 2,23,832 AFG which is accounted for 48.01 per cent of total cost per ha, and 2,42,416 AFG i.e., 51.99 per cent of fixed cost per ha. Among the five years of establishment cost, the highest cost has incurred in the primary year, i.e., 1,34,437 AFG. The annual maintenance cost per ha is 1,40,489 AFG. The variable and fixed cost incurred in maintenance of an apple garden is 72,199 AFG with (51.39 %) and 68,290 AFG (48.61 %) per ha, respectively. The average yield across the nation reached 9.1 tons per hectare in 2019. In my study area, the average yield currently stands at 12.5 tonnes per hectare. Similarly, the return obtained over cost of cultivation by sample apple grower is 1,11,858.3 AFG per ha. The returns per Afghani of total cost of cultivation in apple garden is 1.8 and return per Afghani of variable cost is 3.5. Major constraint of apple production in study area is low price with a mean Garrett score 67.75 followed by no access to credit with 57.21. Major marketing constraints faced by sample respondents is no cold storage facility with a Garrett score of 64.24 followed by poor transportation facility with a mean score of 63.79. |
