    SMALL RUMINANT VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS - A STUDY OF SHEEP REARING ALONG SOUTH TRANSECT OF BENGALURU
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 1-01-31) K., NISHMITHA,; GIRISH, M.R.
    The present study was conducted in South Transect of Bengaluru (Bengaluru Urban and Ramanagara districts) to map the sheep value chain; to assess the financial viability, production efficiency of sheep enterprise and marketing of sheep; to analyse the consumer preference for sheep meat; and to identify the constraints in sheep rearing. 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.

    PRODUCTION AND MARKETING OF SUNFLOWER IN NORTHERN KARNATAKA - AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 1996) KERUR, N M; BANAKAR, BASAVARAJ
    The sunflower is one of the most important oilseed crops which has recently occupied a larger area among oilseed crops in Northern Karnataka. In order to maintain the tempo of production of sunflower, it necessiated to study the economics of production and marketing of sunflower which was conducted in Bijapur and Raichur districts. The required data was collected from a total of 150 sample farmers growing sunflower who were selected at random. The samples were drawn from two villages from the selected market hinterlands of Bijapur, Talikot and Raichur market during 1995-96. Similarly, data was collected from market functionaries (90) from the selected markets. The data was analysed using tabular and various statistical techniques.The results showed that the growth rates with respect to area and production of sunflower recorded was positive. While, the productivity was negative. The per ha cost of production of sunflower was Rs.5627.88. The average yield obtained was 8.99 q/ha.The three main channels identified in the sunflower marketing were;Channel-I : Produccr-Scl!er->Village merchant->Commission agent->wholesaler->oil miller Channel-II: Producer-Seller->Commission agent->wholesaler->oil miller Channel-III.Producer-seller -> oil miller.The channel-ill was found to be more efficient from the point of view of better returns to the producer-seller. The total marketing cost incurred per qtl. by the producer-sellers were high, when the produce was sold through channel-II. The total marketing margin was higher in channel-I as compared to other channels.The seasonality in arrivals and prices were found to be high. The coefficients of variation of arrivals indicated that there was no integration over a period of time in all the markets and similar were the results found in prices. However, there is a positive spatial integration of markets between Bijapur and Raichur markets. The opinion survey indicated that farmers expressed non-availability of adequate credit, lack of quality seeds besides, fluctuation in the prices of sunflower.Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that the tempo of increased production of sunflower can be maintained by improving the management practices of sunflower production by making available the quality seeds and encouraging the co-operativisation of sales, storage and processing of sunflower.
