Abstract
The study was conducted on Performance of Food Processing Special
Economic Zone for the year of 2012-13 in Hassan district of Karnataka. The
objectives of the study are to examine the Project planning and
implementation of Food Processing Special Economic Zone, to assess the
level of farmer's participation and benefits realized through Special
Economic Zone and to document the constraints in implementation of
Hassan Food processing Special economic Zone (HFPSEZ). The data was
collected from 5 companies and 60 farmers. Descriptive statistics,
percentage and Garret ranking tools were used to analyse the data. The
findings of the study indicated that only few companies started business
and there was delay in implementation of the HFPSEZ. The farmers involved
in the production of cereals, pulses, fruits, vegetables and plantation crops
are not participating in the HFPSEZ. Eighty three per cent of farmers
interested to participate in the HFPSEZ in future and 71.42 per cent the
farmers expressed the interest in contract farming with the companies. The
problems encountered by HFPSEZ are non availability of raw material
throughout the year which was the major problem, non availability of skilled
labour, electricity and water in the project area were the other constraints.
These problems could be addressed by the government and promoters. The
promoters have to invite new compames and encourage farmers
participation.
