Among the different districts in the state, Bijapur district is known for the production of fruit crops, particularly grapes and lime. In spite of this, considerable loss is observed due to improper post-harvest handling. The present study was conducted in Bijapur market of Kamataka to assess the economics of post-harvest losses in marketing of grape and lime. A multi-stage sampling procedure was adopted for the selection of samples. The data collected was subjected to growth rate analysis and tabular analysis. The results of growth rate analysis with respect to area, production and productivity of major fruit crops showed mixed results. The area and production of ber, lime, grape, mango and pomegranate showed positive growth whereas in the case of banana, area and production were declining in Bijapur district. Except in grapes and pomegranate, positive growth in productivity could be seen in other fruits. In the state, negative growth was observed only in the case of area under citrus fruits and productivity of pomegranate. The post-harvest losses in grapes at farm level amounted to Rs.3624.63 per farm (Rs.5548.83/ha). The monetary' worth of losses suffered by pre-harvest contractor, commission agent-cum-wholesaler and retailer was to the tune of Rs. 14,778.50, Rs.62,534.40 and Rs. 1307.84 respectively. The estimation of post-harvest losses in lime worked out to be Rs.3562 per farm (Rs.4092/ha). The losses suffered by commission agent and retailer were valued at Rs. 1,63,112 and Rs. 1665.96, respectively. The producer's share in consumers' rupee varied from 58.13 percent to 74.79 percent in the two channels studied under grape marketing whereas it was 61.12 percent in the lone channel studied under lime marketing. The opinion survey revealed problems like frequent price fluctuations, lack of cold storage facility, high commission charges etc., which required immediate attention of policy makers.ThesisItem Open Access PRODUCTION AND MARKETING OF SOYBEAN IN KARNATAKA - AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS(University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, 1999) BASAVARAJ, KULKARNI S; KUNNAL, L BThe study aims at evaluating the coiiomic of production and marketing of soybean in Belgaum district A sample of 120 farmers were selected using multistage sampUng method. The data was collected for the agricultural year 1997-98 through survey method. Belgaum district consisted of 2 soybean processing units, of which only one unit which was working was selected. The techniques of compound growth rate and tabular analysis were employed for analysing the data. There was a significant increase in area and production of soybean during the period 1986-87 to 1995-96 both in Belgaum District and Kamataka State as a whole but productivity showed a non-significant positive increase. The total cost incurred (Cost T)') for soybean production was Rs. 17,953.48 per hectare by small farmers and Rs. 16,602.06 per hectare by large farmers. An hectare of soybean generated a gross income of Rs.25,000 in small farms and Rs.23,000 in large farms. Two marketing channels were identified in the study area for marketing of soybean. Channel! was preferred mostly by large farmers (72.72%) compared to small farmers (27.80%) and Channel-II was preferred by small farmers (72.20%) compared to large farmers (27.28%). The total capiml invested in the processing unit was Rs.490.53 lakhs. The total cost of processing incurred per tonne of soyt)ean was Rs. 10,404.47, of which variable cost accounted for 96.50 pxr cent and fixed cost for 3.50 per cent. The net returns per ton of soybean processed was Rs.665.53 and the benefit-Cost ratio for the processing unit was 1.06. The major constraints faced by farmers in production were rust disease, non-availability of labourers. The problem of price fluctuadon, high transportation cost were the bottlenecks in marketing of the crop. The major problems faced by the processing unit were regarding the seasonal availabilirs' of raw material and inadequate power supply.ThesisItem Open Access EXTERNALITIES IN THE USE OF PESTICIDES AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS IN A COLE CROP(University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 1995) Aruna Kumara, V K; Karamathulla, NABSTRACT NOT AVAILABLEThesisItem Open Access ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF WATERSHED DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME - A CASE STUDY IN KALYANAKERE WATERSHED(University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 1996) Naga Prasad, K S; Gundu Rao, D SABSTRACT NOT AVAILABLE
