Abstract

In Manipur the horticultural crop that offers the biggest chance for a living for the highland agricultural community is the pineapple, which has considerable popularity and production. Manipur is one of the top states for producing pineapples in north-eastern India due to its suitable temperature and soil. The state is fortunate to have an endowment of favorable agro climatic conditions, which may support a variety of horticultural crops with economic yields. It has the second largest production next to rice and it is the backbone of a sizeable section of farmers as their major source of income. Hence it is necessary to discuss the growth of the pineapple so as to enable the state to formulate appropriate policy and enhancing the production. The main objective of this study is to identify the factors influencing the production of pineapple in Manipur. Primary data is used for this analysis. Multiple linear regression model is fitted for the study. From the study, the value of R2 for the model was found to be 0.934 which indicates that out of the total variation 93.4% of the variation in the production is explain by the independent variables included in the model.
