| dc.description.abstract | The present study aimed at analysing production and marketing of honey in Kodagu district of Karnataka. Primary data were collected from 60 beekeepers and 5 market intermediaries from Kodagu district. The production of honey varied over the years with a CAGR of 17.57 per cent and7.86 per cent for India and Karnataka respectively for the reference period (2005–2018). The total initial investment cost incurred per hive of beekeeping was estimated to be ` 7,093.44/- and net returns from second year of investment was ` 4,677.70/-. The NPV per hive was ` 20,712.58/-, BCR was 3.61 and the IRR was found to be 62 per cent, indicating that the investment on beekeeping was financially viable. 38 per cent of the beekeepers sold their produce through channel IV and channel II (35.00 %) followed by channel III (20.00 %) and channel I (6.00 %).The producer’s share in consumer’s rupee was found highest in channel IV (100 %) followed by channel II (77.77 %), channel I (70.00 %) and channel III (63.63 %). Price spread in channel IV was found to be zero due to absence of market intermediaries and it ranged from ` 100 to ` 200 in case of other channels. Among the production constraints, Brood disease and inadequate availability of bee colonies were the major constraints faced by beekeepers. Untimely market information and low price of honey due to adulteration were the major marketing constraints faced by the beekeepers. | en_US |
