    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, DHARWAD, 1994) GUMMAGOLMATH, K C; RANGANATHA SASTRY, K N
    The study was conducted in Dharwad district of Karnataka, with an over all objective of studying economics of production and marketing of mango. Data were collected from 90 mango orchards from six villages of Dharwad taluk. Tabular, financial and functional analysis were employed to analyze the data. Financial feasibility was examined by estimating, NPV, SCR, XRR and PBP. The results revealed that the per-hectare cost of establishment for the four-year gestation period was Rs 55,394.15 in small, 52,999.02 in medium and 49,443.70 in large orchards The inter crops made good the establishment cost by 40 per cent in small, 32 per cent in medium and 28 per cent in large orchards. The per-hectare cost of cultivation was estimated for two periods. During 5th to 10th year it was high in small orchards (Rs. 12,921.61) followed by medium (RS. 12,908.72) and large orchards (Rs. 12,513.171 . During 11th to 20th year it was high in large orchards (Rs. 11,047.90) followed by medium (Rs 10,774.21) and small orchards (Rs, 9,135.86). The study further revealed that at 14 percent discount rate, the small orchards has maximum NPV, (Rs 1,69,889.60), BCR (4.06), IRR (26.63 %) and minimum PBP (6.8 years) as compared to large (1,42,746.60 3.69, 24.91 and 7.56) and medium (1,32,730.60, 3.69, 24.69 and 7.70)¬¬orchards. The results of functional analysis-yield of mango as dependent variable and land, labour, PPC, manure and number of trees as variables included in the function explained about 99, 72 and 98 percent of variation in mango yield of small, medium and large orchards, respectively. It was observed that PPC and manures contributed significantly to mango yield in large orchards. Whereas, manure in small orchards and number of trees in medium orchards contributed significantly to the mango yield Producer s share in consumer rupee was 65.70 per cent in Channel-I (Producer-commission agent-retailer-consumer) and it was 58.40 per cent in Channel-II (Producer-PHC cum Wholesaler-Retailer-consumer) The study indicated the possibility of promoting dry land mango orchards, specially among small farmers. There is need for examining the possibility of recommending higher density of plants.
