| dc.description.abstract | Coffee occupies a place of pride among plantation crops grown in India. It is the second largest traded commodity next to petroleum. The study was conducted in Coorg district of Karnataka, which is the highest producer of Coffee. Data was collected from Madikeri, Somwarpet and Gonikoppal. The analytical techniques included were Trend, Tabular and growth analysis. The results revealed that trends in domestic prices and International prices of both Arabica and Robusta decreased significantly in the earlier period, than in the mid period the prices started increasing. While, in the later period the prices again started decreasing. About 30 per cent of the categories of 4-10 ha of Robusta and Arabica growers have reduced the area due to pests and diseases. All the categories (<4 ha, 4-10 ha and >10 ha) had reduced the cost of cultivation by reducing the round or quantity of fertilizer application, irrigation cost, taking less number of shade lopping and weeding. As a result they realized the yield reduction. Quantity of coffee processed was 2500 tonnes. Total variable cost formed a substantial component (97%) of the total cost of processing of which cost of raw materials (87%) constituted the major component of the total variable cost. Total quantity of output was found to be 2125 tonnes out of 2500 tonnes indicating 85 per cent of recovery. The net returns per tonne of output found to be Rs.1373 per tonne. Total quantity of coffee exported exhibited a growth rate of 4.1 per cent per annum with the unit price registering negative growth rate of 5.8 per cent. Most of the small farmers are demanding for coffee board to carry out the marketing of coffee. | en_US |
