| dc.description.abstract | Tamarind is an important cash crop of India and occupies sixth position in terms of export earnings. The main aim of the study is to estimate the costs and returns, documentation of pre and post-harvest practices, to analyse the marketing channels and to analyse the value addition process in tamarind. The data pertaining to the study was collected from 50 farmers and five traders (50 farmers from Ronur hobli and five traders from Chinthamani APMC). Descriptive statistics was employed to analyze the data. The results revealed that per acre total cost of cultivation of tamarind was Rs. 47,276, net returns over total cost was Rs. 12,002. The study area majority of the farmers were found practicing traditional harvesting method of climbing the tree to beat the fruits and shaking the branches (58%). The four marketing channels identified, are channel-I: Farmer Pre-harvest contractors Traders channel-II: Farmer APMC (Commission agent / trader) -III: Farmer Retailers Consumers and channel-IV: Farmer Consumers. Majority of the producers sold their produce through channel-I (62%), followed by channel-II (28%), channel-III (6%) and remaining farmers sold through channel-IV (4%). In the study area, 54 per cent of the farmers were involved in beating with the wooden mallet for the removal of tamarind husk. Hence, the production of tamarind is a subsidiary occupation for the dry-land farmers and they are realizing a very low income. | en_US |
