Description The study on Production and Marketing management of ginger was conducted
in Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka state. From Uttara Karnataka district, top
three taluks namely, Sirsi, Siddapur and Mundgod were selected based on the highest
area under ginger crop. The required data for the study were obtained from both
primary and secondary sources. Primary data was collected from 90 farmers and 30
market functionaries spread over three taluks of Uttara Kannada district. To evaluate
the objectives of the study, data were analysed using simple tabular analysis with
averages, percentages and Garrett’s ranking techniques were adopted.
The per hectare cost of cultivation was higher in case of small (Rs.89435.17)
farmers compared medium (Rs. 89203.30) and large (Rs. 87015.34) farmers.
However, there were no substantial differences in the cost of cultivation between
small, medium and large farmers. The average net returns on per hectare basis was
worked out to be about Rs. 3,38,064, Rs.3,60,547 and Rs. 3,78,427 for small, medium
and large farms respectively and on overall basis it was Rs. 3,76,535 per hectare. The
benefit cost ratios were 4.78, 5.13, 5.34 and 4.92 in small, medium, large and pooled
farms respectively. Supply of plant material at subsidized rates would reduce the cost
of cultivation.
Three marketing channel were identified in which the producer’s share in
consumer’s rupee was highest in channel I. marketing efficiency in channel I was
recorded highest (5.15) compared to other two channels. The major problems
confronting the cultivators areincidence of pest and disease.Hence, extension agencies
need to gear up their activities to train farmers for effective control of disease. In case
of intermediaries lack of storage facilities has got first rank. So, cold storage facilities
have to be created in the Ginger growing areas.
