The district is the natural home of many citrus species. Among the different citrus spp. grown in the district Khasi mandarin Citrus reticulata L. Blanco is the most Production economically important and grown commercially. Even though a favourable agro-climatic constraints Khasi condition prevails in the district however the production is low. A study was conducted with mandarin 105 numbers of farmers of Kokrajhar Dotma and Gossaigaon block of Kokrajhar district to Kokrajhar district analyse the production constraints of Khasi mandarin. The production constraints were Citrus spp categorised as technological constraint marketing constraints infrastructural constraints and Article Info financial constraints. The study revealed that out of the technological constraints lack of knowledge on scientific crop production ranked I and lack of high yielding quality Accepted planting materials ranked II . In regard to marketing constraints lack of remunerative 12 May 2020 price of produce ranked I and shortage of dedicated market shed ranked II . Available Online 10 .
