Abstract
The present investigations were carried out in Nashik district of Maharashtra state. Two Taluks viz Niphad and Yeola and from them 7 and 6 villages respectively were purposively selected for the study in the year 2016–17. From each selected village 10 per cent respondents were selected randomly thus making a sample of 131 respondents. Opinion survey was conducted to elicit the opinions of farmers regarding the constraints faced by them in onion production and marketing. Garrett's ranking technique was applied for ranking these constraints. Garrett's mean scores for all the factors were arranged in descending order and constraints were ranked. The major constraints experienced by farmers in production and marketing were labour scarcity during peak time and frequent price fluctuation with Garrett's score of 79.83 and 81.06 respectively.
