| Abstract/Description: | In recent times, value chain management in agriculture has taken pivotal role in enhancing farmer‟s income. This study has been undertaken to analyse the existing sweet potato value chain in the Belagavi district of Karnataka. Intensive primary survey and focused group discussions of 112 farmers, 10 commission agents in APMC market, 5 wholesalers and 10 retailers were conducted for the study by using well-structured and pre-tested questionnaire. Multiple regression modelwas employed for assessing farm harvest prices of sweet potato. The study revealed that the only sale-specified time as months of September, October and November to get a significantly higher price. The cost and returns analysis indicates that labour cost and chemical fertilisers/farm yard manure were the major expenditure in production accounting for 32 and 26 per cent respectively. The major constraints in sweet potato value chain are price volatility, lesser/no processing units, commission charged by traders in APMC market and high marketing cost. But the findings indicated that there are huge possibilities and potential to set up sweet potato based industries which will ensure remunerative prices for doubling farmers‟ income. Not Available |
