Abstract: This study was conducted to know the problems of mango growers in GLOBAL GAP certification and constraints in adoption of good agriculture practices. Study was conducted in Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts of Konkan region of Maharashtra state, which contributes nearly 70 percent area under mango in the state. The Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts were purposively selected for the present study. In GLOBAL GAP certification majority 97.00 percent of the respondents faced problem like ‘delay in issuing/ obtaining certificate’, while 96.00 percent of the respondents said that ‘renovation of certificate is essential every year’ and ‘entire process needs heavy investment’, respectively. However, four-fifth (80.00 percent) of the respondents said that ‘need more documentation and record keeping’, followed by (68.00 percent) ‘non availability of residue analysis and soil and water testing laboratory in vicinity’. With regards to production constraints, nearly cent percent (96.00 percent) of the respondents perceived the constraint, ‘non availability of labour during peak period’, followed by ‘non availability of manures/fertilizer in time’ (98.00 percent). However, with respect to economic constraints, cent percent of the respondents perceived the constraint, ‘costly hired labour’, While 69.00 percent of the respondents faced constraints ‘post-harvest losses results in economic losses’.
