Escalation in cost of production resulting reduced profit margin
Inadequate information support system
Decline in soil fertility and productivity
Inadequate market facility and lack of scientific price for produce
Depletion of ground water and environmental degradation
Division and fragmentation of land holdings
Unorganized farming sector
FACTORS CONTRIBUTED FOR DECLINE IN THE ECONOMY OF THE FARMERS
Leading to apathy, loosing interest among farmers particularly present day rural youth in farming and migration to urban areas –
in extreme cases suicide

DBT has replicated this model in North Eastern States
Litchi Growers Associations have been established in Bihar on the lines of Commodity Based Associations
Karnataka Government has earmarked Rs.75 crores for replication of RBRC model in all 29 KVKs in Karnataka covering 1.25 lakh ha during 2011-12 to 2013-14
Govt. of Meghalaya and Andhra Pradesh have approached the University to provide technical know-how to replicate this model in their states.

CONCLUSION The model has the special feature of intensification of small
farmers through IFSD approach and ensures end-to-end approach without leaving any issues for chance factor.
The chances of success of improving productivity and income are certain in the process of sustainable development of small farmers.
Hence the RBRC model evolved and tested could be replicated or scaled up across the country with some modifications or refinements to suit different agro-ecological situations with varied resource base of the farmers.
