Abstract
"THE STUDY WAS CONDUCTED IN THE MANGO BELT OF NORTHERN KARNATAKA, NAMELY
BELGAUM AND DIVIDED DHARWAD DISTRICTS WHERE THE EXPORT-ORIENTED ALPHONSO
MANGO IS CULTIVATED. CULTIVATORS WERE SELECTED THROUGH A RANDOM SAMPLE DESIGN
WHILE ALL THE PROCESSING CENTERS IN THE STUDY AREA WERE INCLUDED FOR THE STUDY OF
PROCESSING. INSTITUTIONS, PARASTATALS AND INDIVIDUALS, GOVERNMENT AND OTHERWISE,
CONNECTED WITH MANGO CULTIVATION TRADE AND EXPORT WERE EXTENSIVELY DRAWN UPON
FOR INFORMATION.
EXPORT PATTERNS STUDIED FOR THE DECADE 1990-1999 INDICATED A POSITIVE
COMPOUNDED GROWTH FOR EXPORT OF FRUIT MANGO, PULP, AND SLICES-IN-BRINE BOTH IN
PHYSICAL AND VALUE TERMS. JAPAN IN THE CASE OF FRUIT, UAE FOR PULP AND USA FOR
SLICES-IN-BRINE SHOWED THE HIGHEST GRO\MH. NOMINAL PROTECTION CO-EFFICIENT FOR
SLICES-IN-BRINE WAS THE MOST FAVORABLE EXPORT PRODUCT OWING TO ITS EXPORT
COMPETITIVENESS DUE TO LOWER DOMESTIC COSTS, FOLLOWED BY FRUIT AND PULP. UK WAS
THE LEAST UNSTABLE IMPORTER OF FRUITS, PULP, AND SLICES-IN-BRINE. MARKOV CHAIN
ANALYSIS REVEALED THAT UAE WAS THE PROSPECTIVE MARKET FOR FRUIT AND SLICES-IN
BRINE, AND OTHER COUNTRIES, SAUDI ARABIA WAS SO FOR PULP. LARGER FARMERS HAD
OLDER AND HIGHER MANGO AREA PROPORTIONS AND THEY CONTINUED TO LEAD IN THE MANGO
AREA EXPANSION. PER ACRE CULTIVATION ECONOMICS STUDIED FOR THE YEAR 1999-2000
INDICATED THAT THE ORCHARD ESTABLISHMENT REQUIRED RS. 12.021, ORCHARD MAINTENANCE
REQUIRED RS.J.OI"" PER ANNUM AND NET RETURNS WERE RS. 13,726, STIMULATING MANGO
EXPANSION IN THE AREA. TRIENNIUM MANGO ALPHONSO YIELD WAS 811 KGS PER ACRE IN
DHAR\VAD AND 1081 KGS IN BELGAUM. ALTERNATE FRUIT-BEARING DOUBLED PRICES IN THE
LEAN PRODUCTION YEARS. FRUIT SALE WAS UN-REGULATED AND DONE LARGELY THROUGH PREHARVEST
CONTRACTORS. PROJECTED MANGO AREA FOR 2004 A.D. WAS 5438 ACRES AND THE
CONSEQUENT PRODUCTION WAS 10,917 TONNES AND THIS WOULD REQUIRE AN INVESTMENT OF
RS.652 LAKHS. THE LINEAR PROGRAMMING MODEL ITERATED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THREE
ADDITIONAL PROCESSING UNITS IN THE AREA. THE COMPREHENSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIRED
FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE AREA INTO AN EXPORT ZONE WOULD REQUIRE AN ESTIMATED TOTAL
OUTLAY OF RS. 1444 LAKHS."
