ThesisItem Open Access AN ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE OF TUMAKURU DISTRICT CENTRAL CO-OPERATIVE BANK IN KARNATAKA(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, GKVK BENGALURU, 2020-06-24) SAHANA PRASAD; GIRISH, M.R.The District Central Co-operative Banks occupy an important part in three-tier credit structure in India. The present study was conducted in Tumakuru DCCB in Tumakuru district of Karnataka state to examine the composition of loan disbursement; analyse the working capital and cost management; assess the recovery performance; and examine the constraints in functioning of the bank. The secondary data was collected from annual reports of the bank for a period of ten years from 2008-09 to 2017-18. The amount of agricultural loans, non-agricultural loans and total loans disbursed by the bank had increased with CAGRs of 18.56 per cent, 7.87 per cent and 12.75 per cent, respectively for the reference period. The overall cost of funds of the bank had increased from 6.69 per cent to 7.81 per cent while the overall return on funds had decreased from 11.62 per cent to 10 per cent for the reference period. The spread had decreased from 4.93 per cent to 2.19 per cent, indicating lower productivity of funds management by the bank. The recovery percentage of agricultural loans had increased while that of non-agricultural loans had decreased for the study period. The non-repayment of non-agricultural loans by the borrowers was the major constraint faced by the bank followed by the higher rate of interest for non-agricultural loans (14 %) charged, competition from other banks operating in the district, improper utilisation of loans by the borrowers of the bank and inefficient working of some PACSs in the district.ThesisItem Open Access A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONING OF SELECTED APMCs IN HAVERI DISTRICT OF KARNATAKA(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2018-11-17) AYESHABANU, A. LOHAR; GIRISH, M.R.The present study was conducted in Haveri district of Karnataka State. The study was undertaken to analyse the functioning of Byadgi, Haveri and Ranebennur APMCs in terms of trend in arrivals and prices of major commodities; structure, conduct and performance; and constraints. The primary data was collected from 30 farmers, five traders and five commission agents, from each APMC, resulting in a total sample size of 120 respondents. There was an increasing trend in arrivals of dabbi, guntur and kaddi varieties of dry chilli, maize, soybean and sunflower while there was a decreasing trend in arrivals of cotton for the reference period (2008-09 to 2017-18). There was an increasing trend in prices of all the major commodities in the selected APMCs. All the selected APMCs were oligopolistic in nature as the Gini concentration ratios were found to be 0.90, 0.85 and 0.88, respectively. The operational ratios of the selected APMCs were less than 0.50 and there was a declining trend for the reference period indicating that the operational efficiency of APMCs has increased. The gross ratios showed a declining trend for the reference period which was desirable from the performance point of view. The major constraints faced by the farmers in the selected APMCs were lack of timely market information, lack of infrastructural facilities and poor maintenance, and delay in payments while the major constraints faced by traders and commission agents were delay in payment by buyers, lack of storage facilities and inadequate infrastructural facilities.ThesisItem Open Access INTEGRATION IN POULTRY INDUSTRY - A STUDY OF BROILER PRODUCTION IN CHIKKABALLAPUR DISTRICT OF KARNATAKA(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2019-12-03) ARAVINDA, B.J; GIRISH, M.R.The present study was conducted in Chintamani taluk of Chikkaballapur district of Karnataka to analyse the management practices in broiler farming; backward and forward linkages in broiler farming; financial viability of broiler farming; and production and marketing constraints in broiler farming. The primary data for the study was collected from 30 contract broiler farmers. All the farms followed all-in all-out system of rearing of birds and deep litter system of housing in the study area. The average flock size was 12,383 birds per batch. The live weight per bird was found to be 2.26 kg with a FCR of 1.74. The integrator provided major essential inputs, namely, chicks, feed and veterinary care required for broiler production in the study area while the rest of the inputs were managed by the farmer himself. The total cost incurred and the gross returns realised per batch for rearing a flock size of 12,383 birds was Rs. 1,32,627.28/- and Rs. 1,51,101.67/-, respectively, resulting in a net return of Rs. 18,474.37/-. Rearing charges paid by the integrators to the farmers accounted for about 70 per cent of the gross returns followed by sale of manure (29.60 %), sale of feed bags (3.45 %). At 12 per cent discount rate, the NPW, BCR and IRR were found to be Rs. 30,64,889/-, 1.54 and 39.95 per cent, respectively, indicating the financially viability of broiler farming. High mortality of birds was the major production constraint while price fluctuation was the major marketing constraintThesisItem Open Access MANAGEMENT OF AGRIBUSINESS ENTERPRISE - AN ANALYSIS OF SHEEP REARING IN CHIKKABALLAPUR DISTRICT(University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK Bengaluru, 2018-12-03) SHABEER UL HASAN, S.; GIRISH, M.R.The present study was conducted in Bagepalli taluk of Chikkaballapur district of Karnataka state to analyse the backward and forward linkages in sheep rearing; to assess the financial viability of sheep rearing; and to identify the constraints in sheep rearing. The primary data for the study was collected from 40 sheep rearers. Majority of the sample sheep rearers used their own money realized from horticultural and agricultural crops for investing in sheep enterprise while some of them, especially women borrowed credit from SHGs. The family members met the labour requirements of sheep rearing. Chelur sheep shandy is the only sheep market located in Bagepalli taluk. It is a popular weekly shandy held every Friday where sheep is traded in large numbers. The total cost incurred and the gross returns realised per annum for rearing a flock size of 61 sheep was Rs. 1,59,577/- and Rs. 2,74,788/-, respectively, resulting in a net returns of Rs. 1,15,211/- . Among the variable costs, labour was the major cost accounting for about 83 per cent of the total variable cost. The sale of adult sheep accounted for about 75 per cent of the gross returns followed by sale of lambs (18.76 %), sale of manure (4.13 %), sale of meat (1.95 %), etc. At 12 per cent discount rate, the NPW, BCR and IRR were found to be Rs. 3,56,943.40/-, 1.72 and 53.77 per cent, respectively, indicating the financially viability of sheep rearing. Scarcity of water and exploitation by middlemen were the major constraints faced by sheep rearers.ThesisItem Embargo The present study was conducted in South Transect of Bengaluru covering Bengaluru Urban and Ramanagara districts. The study analysed the backward and forward linkages, financial viability, and production efficiency of goat enterprise; marketing of goat; consumer preference for goat meat; and production and marketing constraints of goat enterprise. The primary data was collected from 40 goat farmers, 90 consumers, and ten butcher-cum-traders. The backward linkages in goat enterprise included sourcing of credit, goats, fodder, feed, water, labour, and veterinary care; while the forward linkages included sale of goats and manure. The total cost incurred and gross returns realised per annum for rearing a flock size of 33 goats was Rs. 2,26,950.18/- and Rs. 2,97,090/- respectively, resulting in net returns of Rs. 70,139.82/-. At 12 per cent discount rate, the NPW, BCR, and IRR were found to be Rs. 89,351.75/-, 1.08, and 25.02 per cent, respectively, indicating financial viability of goat rearing. The cost of labour and fodder cost were the important factors which had positive impact on returns from goat rearing. Two marketing channels were prevalent, viz., Channel I: Farmer – Farmer / Consumer and Channel II: Farmer – Butcher – Consumer. Freshness was the major factor influencing the consumption of goat meat. High mortality rate of kids was the major production constraint while lack of market information was the major marketing constraint faced by goat rearers. The study recommended conduct of animal health camps on a regular basis and training programmes on scientific rearing of goats by the authorities concerned.(University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 2022-12-26) SUSHMITHA CHENGAPPA, A.; GIRISH, M.R.The present study was conducted in South Transect of Bengaluru covering Bengaluru Urban and Ramanagara districts.

The major actors in sheep value chain in the study area were input suppliers, sheep rearers, butchers, and consumers. The total cost incurred and the gross returns realised per annum for rearing a flock size of 51 sheep was ₹ 2,86,384.62/- and ₹ 4,29,364.83/-, respectively, resulting in a net returns of ₹ 1,42,980.21/-. Labour was the major cost accounting for about 49 per cent of the total variable cost. At 12 per cent discount rate, the NPW, BCR and IRR were found to be ₹ 3,36,569.23/-, 1.24 and 36 per cent, respectively, indicating the financial viability of sheep rearing. In the study area, two channels were prevalent for marketing of sheep, viz., Channel I: Farmer – Farmer and Channel II: Farmer – Butcher – Consumer. Majority (50 %) of the sample sheep farmers sold their sheep exclusively through Channel I while 37.50 per cent of the sheep farmers sold their sheep exclusively through Channel II. Tenderness was the most important factor influencing the purchase of sheep meat by sample consumers. The incidence of diseases and lack of organised marketing facility were the major constraints faced by sheep rearers.ThesisItem Open Access VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS OF SOYBEAN – A STUDY IN BIDAR DISTRICT OF KARNATAKA(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, GKVK BENGALURU, 2018-12-07) ASHWINI, C. THAMKE; GIRISH, M.R.The present study examined the cost and returns of soybean cultivation; trend in arrivals and prices of soybean in Bidar and Humanabad APMCs; various stakeholders in soybean value chain; marketing channels of soybean; and consumer preference for valueadded products of soybean. The primary data was collected from a sample of 40 soybean farmers, 10 traders, 10 wholesalers and 10 retailers of Bidar district; and 80 consumers in Bengaluru city. The results indicated that the average yield of soybean was 10.50 quintals per acre in the study area. The total cost of cultivation of soybean was about Rs. 31,906/- per acre. The gross returns amounted to Rs. 34,387/- per acre and the corresponding net returns was Rs. 2,481/- per acre. In the case of Bidar APMC, the arrivals and prices of soybean registered CAGRs of 44.52 per cent and 5.84 per cent, respectively for the reference period while the corresponding CAGRs were 53.90 per cent and 7.52 per cent, respectively for Humanabad APMC. In soybean value chain, the major actors / players involved include producers, wholesalers (soybean and / or value-added products of soybean), processors, retailers (soybean and / or value-added products of soybean) and consumers. Majority (67.50 %) of the soybean farmers sold their produce through commission agents in APMCs followed by those (32.50 %) who sold to processors while the rest (5.04 %) sold to village merchants. Among the value-added products of soybean, majority (70 %) of the consumers preferred chunks followed by oil (65 %), sauce (44 %), flour (20 %), etc.
