    AN ANALYSIS OF ENTREPRENEURIAL BEHAVIOUR AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE OF BYADAGI CHILLI GROWERS IN HAVERI DISTRICT, KARNATAKA
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2022-12-18) VEENA, BUSHETTI; KRISHNAMURTHY, B
    The study was conducted in Haveri district of Karnataka to study the entrepreneurial behaviour and economic performance of Byadagi chilli growers during the year 2021-22. The Ex-post-facto research design has been adopted in the present study. Haveri, Hangal and Byadagi talukas were selected based on high, medium and low productivity of Byadagi chilli, respectively. From each taluka five villages selected based on availability of more number of Byadagi chilli growers and from each village 12 farmers were selected, thus total sample size encompassed to 180 farmers from 15 villages. It can be noticed that, less than half of the Byadagi chilli growers (47.22 %) belonged to middle age category, 30.55 per cent of Byadagi chilli growers were educated up to PUC, little more than half (56.67 %) of the Byadagi chilli growers belongs to joint family system. Equal number (40.00 %) and more than one third (37.78 %) of the Byadagi chilli growers belonged to medium category of extension participation, social participation and mass media exposure respectively and only 34.44 per cent of the farmers have undergone training programmes. The study also reveals that the overall entrepreneurial behaviour score based on the cumulative raw scores of all the six dimensions revealed that, more than two third of (68.33 %) of the Byadagi chilli growers had medium level of entrepreneurial behaviour followed by 19.45 per cent under low category and remaining (12.22 %) had high entrepreneurial behaviour. More than one third (38.33 %) of the growers had medium overall economic performance followed by low (32.78 %) and high (28.89 %) category. This might be due to the reason that the cost of production and profit are in inverse proportion.
