The present study was conducted in Jodhpur market to estimate some aspects like employment generation and problems faced by chilli processing units. In total 12 processing units were selected in three categories (small, medium and large) and interviewed for detailed study. The findings indicated that total employment generated increased with increase in the size of processing units i.e. 3569.70 hours by small units, 6583.50 hours by medium units and 8730.80 hours by large units. The employment generated by one quintal of chilli processing decreased as size of processing units increased i.e. 4.89 hours, 3.85 hours and 2.79 hours for small, medium and large units, respectively. The unavailability of labour, credit and raw material (chilli) were the main problem faced by all three types of processing units in the study area.
