    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 2001-08-09) MANJUNATHA, M. B.; KARNOOL, N. N.
    India is one of the principal wheat producing and consuming country in the world, wheat forms and staple food to most of the population in the world. Wheat flour based products such as chapathi are part of the staple diet in most part of central and northern India. Nearly 10.5 million tonnes of wheat is processed every year. The leading flour producing states are, Uttara Pradesh, Maharashtra, Kamataka, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Haryana and Punjab. The overall objective of the study was to analyse the performance of roller flour mills in Bijapur district of Karnataka. The two units located in the Bijapur district were selected for the study. Further, they were categorised into small and medium scale units based on their installed capacity The primary data was collected for the year 1999-2000. ; The results showed that the investment in both categoiy of roller n flour mills was financially feasible and economically viable. The per quintal total cost of processing was Rs.908.99 and Rs.959.53 in small and medium scale units respectively. The value added as a result of processing activity at an overall average level was Rs.220.85 per quintal of wheat processed. The marketing cost per bag of maida (90 kgs) was high in chsmnel-I (Rs.34.70). Among items of cost incurred sales tax accounted for 57.06 per cent of the total cost of marketing. The industry on an average utilised only 37.62 per cent of installed capacity-. Break even quantity of output in small and medium scale units was 15.468.84 quintals and 1.37,757.17 quintals respectively. The labour intensity was very low in both the units, capital iniensity and efficiency was higher in medium scale unit. Problems regarding marketing, processing, government policies and procurement were considered as the most important problems.

    GRADING, PROCESSING AND MARKETING OF CASHEWNUTS IN NORTH DISTRICT OF GOA
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 2004-01-24) NAMDEO, NAIK AMITA; WADER, L.K.
    Cashew was introduced to India by the Portuguese about 400 years ago. It plays an important role in the Indian economy as it act as foreign exchange earner. The quality of agricultural produce brought to the market by the farmers varies from lot to lot. So it is highly essential to grade the produce on scientific lines, inorder to get remunerative prices. So the present study was undertaken to develop grade standard, study quality price relationship, procurement, processing and marketing management of cashew processing units in North District of Goa. Out of 42 units in North District of Goa, 15 units were selected randomly. The primary data was collected through personal interview for the year 1999-2000. Laboratory analysis, indexing, stepwise multiple regression analysis and tabular presentation were employed for data analysis. Five grade standards were developed for cashewnut based on composite index. The results based on price quality relation brought out that number of nuts, moisture percentage and cutting test reduced the prices and these factors explained 95 per cent variation. In present study only two pattern of procurement of cashewnut were followed. The procurement was maximum in the month of May followed by April. The total cost of cariying inventory was higher for large units (Rs. 526.92 per quintal) then small and medium size units. The total cost of cashew kernel production in cashew processing units was Rs. 4063.22 per quintal. While net returns was Rs. 125.78 per quintal. On an average maximum quantity of cashew kernels were marketed through distributor and the cost of marketing was high in the same (Rs. 98.36/tin). The major problems faced by the processors were non-availability of raw nuts, improper grading of raw nuts and high working capital.

    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 2001-08-09) DAKHANI, K.M.; Vijayakumar, Dr.H.S.
    To analyse the efficiency of procurement of agricultural inputs in terms of cost and distribution, and to suggest the ways to improve the performance of the organisation, Kamataka Agro-industries Corporation (Agro-input division) in Dharwad district was selected for the study. Primary and secondary sources of data were utilised for the study. The data pertains to the period 1995-96 to 1996-97. KAIC procures 6767 tonnes of fertilizer by incurring a cost of Rs.4,86,659 in procurement but it can adopt the minimum cost routes as suggested in suggested procurement schedule and save about Rs.37,128.The sensitivity analysis was earned out by assuming that KAIC is going to supply the whole demand for fertilizer of a district. The storage cost was found to be highest at Haveri and lowest at Navalgund agrokendra, because Navalgund agrokendra was actively engaged in sale of seeds and PPC. The lowest unit storage cost of fertilizer of Rs. 15.28 per tonne was seen at Haveri and the highest of Rs.28.12 per tonne at Mundargi because of the turnover that agrokendra cuold achieve. In organisation structure it was found that there is a need for one assistant to be posted at agrokendra and delegation of power to purchase directly from input supply firm. Among the taluks Haveri agrokendra had lion share of 79.02 per cent in the sale of fertilizer followed by Dharwad ( 57.30 per cent). Navalgund agrokendra ranked first in the sale of seeds while Shiggaon stood first in the sale of PPC among the agrokendras. The total margin earned amounted to of Rs. 1.911 Lakhs and Rs.1.586 Lakhs at Hubli and Haveri agrokendras respectively, while the lowest margin of Rs.0.537 Lakhs was found at Hangal. The gross profit earned by Navalgund agrokendra was highest (Rs. 0.891 Lakhs) , followed by Hubli agrokendra (Rs.0.793 Lakhs). Gross profit was earned at six agrokendras namely Navalagund, Hubli, Dharwad, Mundargi, Haveri and Shiggaon while the four agrokendra namely Ranebennui, Hanagal.
