| dc.description.abstract | Sugar industry is an important agro-based industry in India. There were 408 sugar factories in the country during 1994-95, producing 146.43 lakh tonnes of sugar. Considering its importance in the development of rural-led economy, the present study analysed the performance of the sugar industry in Karnataka. The data were collected from eight sugar factories over a period of time. The analysis of data included compound growth rate analysis, ratio analysis, principal component analysis, computation of cost of processing, break-even level of sugar production and capacity utilization and SWOP(T) analysis. The results of the study revealed that, due to economies of large scale production, the above average sugar factories were better than their counterparts with respect to crushing activity and financial performance. All the sugar factories had a recovery percentage, above 10 per cent, which is satisfactory. The current ratio was greater than unity in all the sugar factories except in the c^e of Kampli sugar factory. Due to high exit rate of the stock and its management, the turnover ratios were found to be better in above average sugar factories. The profitability ratios were found to be negative in cooperative sugar factories. However, the cooperative sugar factories had better networth than public and private sector sugar factories due to creation of huge assets with less borrowings. The installed capacity was under-utilised in all the sugar feictories during 1995-96, except Ugarkhurd and Davangere sugar factories. The cane cost formed the prime share in the total cost (71.79%), followed by the other variable costs (16.60%). It was also found from the study that, to be a viable factory, a below average sugar factory with a crushing capacity of less than 2100 TCD has to produce 333,900 quintals of sugar and an above average sugar factory (5000 TCD) has to produce 1078,330 quintals of sugar. The results of principal component analysis revealed that, equity, owned funds, borrowings, liabilities, inventories, assets, total sales, sugar sales, total income, total purchases and total expenses highly influenced the performance of sugar factories. | en_US |
