| dc.description.abstract | The focus of the study was on the production, marketing and export performance of turmeric in Karnataka. Field level data were elicited for the agriculture year 2011-12 through personal interview method. The time series data on area, production, productivity, arrivals, prices, exports etc. were obtained from secondary sources. The growths in area, production and productivity were found to be higher during pre-WTO period in the case of India as a whole. Whereas, the instability indices for area, production and productivity of turmeric were lower during post-WTO period. The variation in average production of turmeric during the post-WTO period over the pre-WTO period was mainly due to change in mean area (122.95%) and change in mean yield (58.39%) in the case of Karnataka and India respectively. Per acre average cost of cultivation of turmeric was found to be high in the case of Belgaum district ( 83402) and B: C ratio was found to be higher in the case of Chamarajanagar district (2.02). The MVP: MFC ratio for chemical fertilizers and plant protection chemicals were found more than unity in the case of all four districts. In the case of all the selected districts majority of the farms achieved 90-95 per cent level of technical efficiency. The producer’s share in consumer/processor rupee was more in channel-IV than channel-I and it was the highest in the case of Chamarajanagar district compared to others. The growth rate in export of turmeric in terms of quantity and value was high during overall period than that of pre and post-WTO periods. Results of Markov chain analysis revealed that the countries pooled under ‘others category’, UAE, UK and Iran would be the stable importers of the Indian turmeric in the future. The results of the co-integration analysis revealed that the Kochi, Erode and New York markets were well co-integrated. In all the four selected districts the major problems faced by the farmers were pest and disease attack and higher price fluctuations. | en_US |
