| dc.description.abstract | Coir is an unique natural fibre produced by coconut (Cocos nucifera) used in diverse applications. It is an important sector as far as economy of the country is concerned. Most of the coir workers are coming from socially and economically backward classes. The industry in India provides direct employment to more than 6.4 lakh workers and majority are women’s. To fulfill the objectives of the study, four taluks namely Tumkur, Gubbi, Channarayapatna and Arsikere were purposively selected from the two districts namely Tumkur and Hassan. The primary data were collected from the coir industrial owners. Secondary data were collected from the records maintained by the coir industry owners. These data pertained to the details of assets and liabilities, extent of investment made at different points in time, cash inflows and cash outflows. The data were collected for a period of eight years. The results showed that on an average total capital investment was highest in co-operative coir units (59.56 lakhs) than in private coir units (46.00 lakhs). Average Net present value (NPV) in co-operative coir units was higher than that of private coir units. The internal rate of returns of all other units in both the units was higher than the discount rate (12 per cent) considered in the analysis, B:C Ratio was higher in private coir units (Rs.1.17) as compared to co-operative coir units (Rs.1.14). Similarly co-operative coir units took higher time to recover the investment (1.56 years) compared to private coir units (1.55years). Average total cost of producing one tonne of coir fibre is (Rs.29435.00) was high in private coir units and in co-operative coir units is (22986.30). In case of private coir units the gross return per tonne was Rs.19390.00 and co-operative coir units is Rs.16851.30. The results indicated that investment in co-operative coir units was high as compared to private coir units. The private coir units should also update the production technology through additional investment to harness economies of scale in their operations. | en_US |
