    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, 1999) CHIDRI, MAHESH V; SONNAD, J S
    Tur being most important pulse crop of tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world, ranks second next to Bengal gram in India. In India, there are about 10,000 (1996-97) processing units spread over in several states and nearly 90% of them are under small-scale sector. In Karnataka, there are 160 tur processing units working. Ineffective management on the part of the processors has led to the failure or poor performance of many tur-processing units. Therefore the present study attempts to identify the managerial lapses and the problems faced by them in order to evolve appropriate policies for improving efficiency. Thirty tur processing units in Gulbarga district of Kamataka were selected. Further they were categorised into small and large based on their installed capacity. The primary data was collected for the year 1997-98. The investment in both category of tur processing units is financially viable and economically feasible. Totally Three patterns of tur procurement were noticed Procurement of tur was maximum during the months of February and March. The cost of carrying inventory per quintal of tur was higher (Rs.299.01) in large size units than in small processing units (Rs.265.80). The average production cost of tur dal per quintal of tur processed was Rs.2664.12 The average value added by processing activity was Rs.637.36 per quintal of tur processed. Maximum quantity of tur dal was marketed through channel 111 (Commission agent). The marketing cost per quintal of dal was high through channel III (Rs. 138.48). Taxes and commission charges accounted for 50 percent each in the total cost of tur dal marketing. The average capacity utilized by processing units was 40.96 percent of the installed capacity.
