| dc.description.abstract | Bamboo is found well distributed in Karnataka from Uttara Kannada and Belgaum districts in the north to Mysore and Chamarajnagar districts in the South. Bamboos have been in demand due to their multifarious uses. The present study pertains to three eastern plain districts namely, Bellary, Bidar and Koppal in Karnataka state. In the first stage two markets in each district and in second stage five traders each from these markets were selected by using multi-stage random sampling. The analytical techniques included were Lorenz curve technique, multiple regression and tabular analysis. The results revealed that all the three markets viz. Bellary, Bidar and Koppal markets are competitive in nature and co-efficient of inequality was found to be 0.05, 0 and 0.178 respectively. Traders purchase major quantity of bamboo from private source (96.6 %) on monthly basis. The sales pattern followed by KFD was found to be only through allotment and of traders showed that major quantity of bamboo was sold to Medars (70.81 %). Three important marketing channels were found viz. Karnataka Forest Department -> Traders, Karnataka Forest Department -> Paper mills and Producer-seller -Traders -> Consumer. The total marketing cost incurred by traders was found to be Rs. 1050 per tonne and that of paper mills was Rs. 1305 per tonne of bamboo. The producer's share in consumer's price was found to be 51.88 percent and the marketing efficiency ratio was 1.07 in channel-HI. All the traders opined that high transportation cost was a major problem followed by inadequate supply from KFD (83.3%) and harassment from government officials (83.3%). Both the paper mills expressed non-availability of bamboo in time as major problem. Efforts may be made to supply/allot larger quantity of bamboo to medars community and of traders by forest department. Further, bamboo sale by auctioning may be encouraged. | en_US |
