Abstract: : The present chapter has attempted to analyze the Socio-Economic characters of the sample farmers selected for the study.As already mentioned in methodology part of the study a total of 300 Farmers are selected for the study.Out of which 100 belongs to Ainavilli mandal, 100 to Ambajipeta mandal and 100 to Amalapuram mandal.In this study simple percentages Chi square Tests have been applied to find out association if any between different variables taken into consideration for the study.Agriculture is a labour intensive sector activity and all the members in the family should work to fulfill the requirements. Most of the Farmersin this mandals come under the marginal, small and large category and both male and female have to work to minimize the labour expenditure. It can be seen from the table 6.1 and Figure 6.1 that the proportion of male farmers are relatively high i.e. 98 per cent among the total farmers and it is a clear evidence that men are actively participating in coconut production and marketing activities in the study area.A close perusal of mandal-wise analysis of data shows that this per centage is almost same but somewhat higher in respect of Ambajipeta mandal (33.57) whereas this is some lower (33.56 per cent) in Ainavilli and Amalapuram mandals. As male members are more productive and physically strong, they are concentrating on cultivating of coconut and the marketing activity.
