| dc.description.abstract | In India about 25 million farmers are engaged in the sugarcane cultivation on 3.5 million hectares of land. At present there are 416 sugar factories, of which 232 factories are in co-operative sector whose major activities includes management of procurement, processing and marketing of sugar and by products. Using the secondary data the various management activities of the factory were studied. The study revealed that the area of operation of the factory was 45 kilometer in radius, covering 585 villages. On an average the sugar factory procured only 70.77 per cent of total sugarcane produced due to low installed capacity (3500 t/day). 81-17 per cent of the sugarcane area was under late maturing varieties. 78.13 per cent of total cane bill was paid in first installment. Major cost of procurement included prime cost of cane (85.10%) purchase tax on cane (6.14%), transport (4.07%) and harvesting (2.45%). The average sugarcane crushed was 6.54 lakh tonnes with 4090 hours of crushing (186 days). Hours lost due to cleaning was the highest (4.25%), followed by mechanical problem (4.24%), cane shortage (3.25%), miscellaneous (2.41%). Sugar loss in by products was 2.22 per cent which was lower than the norms fixed by Bhargava commission. The cost of production per quintal of sugar was Rs.837.25, of which the raw material cost constituted a major share (78.03%), other variable costs (7.01%), fixed costs (14.96%). Factory earned a profit margin of Rs.0.33 per quintal of sugar and by products sold. It implied that the costs and returns obtained were almost equal with very nominal profit margin. Sixty per cent of the sugar produced was sold in open market and 40 per cent was through levy quota. The price spread of sugar in Dharwad and Hubli market was Rs.102.81 (7.13% in consumer's price). Major problems faced by farmers were low price for cane, low harvesting charges paid by the factory, delayed payment, shortage of labour during harvesting and problem of transportation. | en_US |
