Samples of 15 farmers 70 intermediaries were selected. Cob Douglas production function analysis was taken up to know the resource productivity of chickpea. The coefficient of multiple determination, R2 for the production function fitted for chickpea farmers indicated that 83 percent of the variation in income was explained by the independent variables included in production function. Production coefficient of area and material costs had turned out to be positively significant. Labour costs shown negatively significant effect. The returns to scale were 1.772 which is more than unity indicates increasing returns to scale. For price spread analysis two marketing channels were identified in the study area.
