Abstract
The present study was conducted in Ranebennur taluk of Haveri district of Karnataka with the major objective of assessing the value chain analysis of chilli in Karnataka. The Primary data was collected from 110 respondents which include farmers (90), traders (10), retailers (5) and processors (5). The study showed that area and production of chilli in Haveri district showed negative growth rate of -13.27 and -11.98 per cent respectively and productivity of chilli in Haveri district showed positive growth rate of 1.46 per cent over ten years where as the area, production and productivity of chilli in Karnataka as a whole showed negative growth rate of -3.74, -5.45 and -1.34 per cent, respectively. With respect to degree of value addition for dry chilli, the extent of value addition was more (15.00 %) at trader/wholesaler stage and for processed product of dry chilli (dry chilli powder), the degree of value addition was more (23.21%) at processing stage. It was found that uneven rainfall was the major constraint at producer stage followed by non-availability of skilled labours and quality seeds. Price fluctuation and lack of storage facility were the major problems at farmers level as well as traders level and non-availability of adequate quality raw material for processing, high initial cost were the major constraints at processors level.
