Key Words: Pineapple export zone, Contract farming, Socio-economic status. INTRODUCTION The concept of contract farming has come a long way from such an origin. In the last couple of decades contract farming is viewed as a tool to provide technology, extension service, credit etc. to the farmers. It is perceived as a mutually beneficial arrangement between the firm and the farmers by many national governments and international aid agencies. The new Agricultural Policy of 2000 announced by the Government of India sought to promote growth of private sector participation in agribusiness through contract farming. There are several agricultural and horticultural crops produced in some form of contractual arrangements with the farmers in India. Big corporate houses such as Hindustan Lever, Pepsi Foods, A.V. Thomas, Dabur, Godrej etc. adopted contract farming for many crops apart from several small players. In West Bengal Company like Hindustan Lever Ltd, Reliance India Ltd., ITC, Calypso Bengal Pvt. Ltd. has taken initiative for introducing contract farming. In some part of West Bengal they are gaining confidence of farmers and in some parts yet to achieve this. In North Bengal especially in Siliguri and Utar Dinajpur Calypso Bengal Pvt. Ltd. has undergone several contractual agreements with farmer for crops like pineapple, turmeric etc. Therefore to encourage the contract farming system to improve the economic status of the farming community, it is desirable to assess the existing status of the contract farmers. Accordingly this study was conducted to know the socio economic status of the pineapple contract farmers.
