Abstract : The present study was conducted in Vaishali district of Bihar to identify and analyze the major constraints faced in production and marketing of vegetables inhibit the profitability of vegetable growers. The primary data was collected from 100 vegetable growers involved in the production and marketing practices in the district through a well-structured and pre-tested interview schedule. The constraints were determined individually at each of these stakeholders’s level. The results revealed that the major production constraints were problem of wild and stray animals, lack of reasonable price, and high occurrence of insect pests and diseases. The most critical marketing constraints were high transportation cost, market price fluctuation and lack of proper storage facilities. The findings highlight the need for effective interventions such as ensuring protection against wild animals, stable market prices, improved input supply, and better marketing infrastructure for enhancing vegetable productivity and farmer income in Vaishali district.
