| dc.description.abstract | The present study on risk assessment in production and marketing of potato in Eastern Dry Zone (EDZ) of Karnataka used both the secondary data on area, production, productivity, arrivals and prices of potato and primary data from 80 potato growers and 30 market intermediaries. The growth rate analysis revealed increasing production in Chikkaballapur (4.66 %) while area was decreasing (-2.66 %) in Kolar. Potato arrivals and prices in study markets varied across the years with higher seasonal indices of arrivals during December (275.60) in Chikkaballapur and January (295.66) in Kolar market. Farmers in Chikkaballapur district realized higher yield (128.25 q/ac) than Kolar farmers (121.88 q/ac) by incurring total cost of ₹ 117081/ac and ₹ 120568, respectively. The potato cultivation was profitable as revealed by higher returns per rupee of expenditure (1.34 and 1.49). The resource use efficiency analysis indicated scope to increase area under potato and use more of FYM while usage of plant protection chemicals needs to be reduced as it was over utilized. The quantification of risk in production and marketing of potato using Value at Risk (VaR) revealed high market risk in Kolar (₹ 1538/q) than Chikkaballapur (VaR of ₹ 804.20/q), with corresponding VaR of 100 quintals 93.01 quintals with respect to production risk. Majority (43.75 %) of the farmers preferred Channel I (Farmers→ Wholesalers→ Retailer →Consumer) compared to Channel II (37.50 %) and Channel III (18.75 %). However, the PSCR (61.75 %) and Acharya’s marketing efficiency index (1.61) found relatively higher in Channel-III than other channels. | en_US |
