The Present experiment examines and evaluates the socioeconomic status of household shrimp farmers, aspects cultivation, cost return structures farming. Through random selection, farmers from two distinct Balasore district blocks have been purposefully chosen for study. Additionally, information on various costs streams 40 twenty (20) each block, has gathered. was gathered with goal examining structure Step-by-step regression analysis used to identify elements that affect farming yield when compared seasonal paddy cultivation. To important variables Cob-Douglas production function through a stepwise model where feed, amount labor both operation management, duration cultivation in particular pond are highly significant is also selected region. From correlation matrix, degree association presented discussion. finally 96.8% 5% threshold significance fifth stage. As result, it clear this at level significance, meaning independent can account dependent variable (productivity). It found models significance.
