| Summary, etc. | Southern Shan State is an important and the largest potato production area of Myanmar. Kalaw Township occupies about 25% of total cultivated area of the Southern Shan State. The research deals with the assessment of potato-based cropping system contribution in household income of the Southern Shan State. The major objectives of this research were to identify the current farming practices and socio-economic situation of the farmers, to identify the productivity and profitability of current potato-based cropping system in the study area and to study constraints of the crop production through assessing farmer{u2019}s knowledge and practices in farming. Data collected from a randomized sample of 74 households in two villages in the Kalaw Township area. The data were tabulated and analysed by using descriptive statistics. Economic analysis as cost and return analysis was used to expose farm income and profitability of selected crop and cropping pattern. The study was carried out to identify socio-economic situation, farming practices, productivity, profitability and constraints in potato-based cropping system. About 97% of household income was from on farm income. Potatoes were the highest gross margin provides in comparison with 11 other crops. Summer potato gives the highest profit among the three growing seasons. Besides, potato (summer)- lowland rice was the highest profit provides in the six predominant cropping patterns. This research showed that the crop management practices of summer potato in lowland (le land) and monsoon potato in upland (Yar land). Low price of product, high input prices, inadequate funds, non-availability of good quality seed, disease and insect attack and limit of technology were the production and marketing constraints for potato cultivation in the study area. The research concluded that potato is the second most important food and cash crop after rice in Kalaw Township. Growing potato is a costly farming practice with sufficient income if the reasonable price of the output is prevailing in the market. Summer potato-based cropping pattern was the highest profit maker and can be practiced in lowlands under irrigation. However, most of the potato in Kalaw is produced in mountains under rainfed condition and those farmers usually confront with mainly the low price of product due to seasonal production. |
