| dc.description.abstract | The focus of the study was to estimate costs and returns, value chain analysis, cropping pattern and constraints in production and marketing of aonla in Tumakuru district of Karnataka. Primary data were collected from 30 aonla growers belonging to Koratagere and Tipaturu taluks of Tumakuru district. In addition, 32 market intermediaries were selected randomly for studying value addition and marketing channels. Descriptive statistics, value chain mapping and Garrett’s ranking techniques were used to analyze the data. The study revealed that, total cost of cultivation of aonla was Rs. 28,776 per acre and corresponding gross return was Rs. 76,750. Three value chains for aonla were identified, viz., Value addition from aonla to candy, aonla juice and aonla powder. Degree of value addition was the highest for processor in the case of candy (82.92 %) and juice (29.98 %) whereas it was highest for trader (27.05 %) in the case of powder. The percentage of value addition was the highest for farmer in the case of juice (35.97 %) and powder (49.76 %) and it was highest for processor in the case of candy (42.87 %). Lack of technical knowledge, information regarding crop cultivation, uneven distribution of rainfall / scarcity of water and uneven bearing / low bearing were the major production problems of aonla. Similarly, lack of awareness about market information and intelligence, low prices and no market demand during peak arrivals were the major marketing problems of aonla. | en_US |
