dc.description.abstractThe study aims at evaluating the coiiomic of production and marketing of soybean in Belgaum district A sample of 120 farmers were selected using multistage sampUng method. The data was collected for the agricultural year 1997-98 through survey method. Belgaum district consisted of 2 soybean processing units, of which only one unit which was working was selected. The techniques of compound growth rate and tabular analysis were employed for analysing the data. There was a significant increase in area and production of soybean during the period 1986-87 to 1995-96 both in Belgaum District and Kamataka State as a whole but productivity showed a non-significant positive increase. The total cost incurred (Cost T)') for soybean production was Rs. 17,953.48 per hectare by small farmers and Rs. 16,602.06 per hectare by large farmers. An hectare of soybean generated a gross income of Rs.25,000 in small farms and Rs.23,000 in large farms. Two marketing channels were identified in the study area for marketing of soybean. Channel! was preferred mostly by large farmers (72.72%) compared to small farmers (27.80%) and Channel-II was preferred by small farmers (72.20%) compared to large farmers (27.28%). The total capiml invested in the processing unit was Rs.490.53 lakhs. The total cost of processing incurred per tonne of soyt)ean was Rs. 10,404.47, of which variable cost accounted for 96.50 pxr cent and fixed cost for 3.50 per cent. The net returns per ton of soybean processed was Rs.665.53 and the benefit-Cost ratio for the processing unit was 1.06. The major constraints faced by farmers in production were rust disease, non-availability of labourers. The problem of price fluctuadon, high transportation cost were the bottlenecks in marketing of the crop. The major problems faced by the processing unit were regarding the seasonal availabilirs' of raw material and inadequate power supply.en_US
