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.
