Description |
The present study entitled “Export Competitiveness of Turmeric in Andhra Pradesh” was undertaken to analyse the export performance of turmeric with respect to their domestic and international prices and direction of trade. The study also includes the technical efficiency of turmeric farms both in Guntur and Nizamabad districts,constraints faced by the farmers etcc. Both primary and secondary data was collected. The data on exports were collected using secondary sources from various published documents . Stochastic frontier production function, Nominal protection coefficient, Effective protection coefficient, Markov chain, Garret‟s ranking technique were used as analytical tools. In Nizamabad District farms, the estimate indicated that there is positive impact of seed and human labour on turmeric production and negative impact on chemical fertilizers,plant protection chemicals, irrigation and machine labour on turmeric production . In Guntur District farms, the estimate indicate that there is positive impact of seed, chemical fertilizers, plant protection chemicals, irrigation and human labour on turmeric production and negative impact on only machine labour on turmeric production. The technical efficiency of Nizamabad and Guntur districts farms was calculated. The mean efficiency of Nizamabad district farms was found to be (88.15 per cent) .The efficiency of the farms in Guntur district was found to be (99.88 per cent). Comparing the individual parameters in the farms of Nizamabad district have high coefficients for plant protection chemicals, human labour, sigma squared and gamma, and the remaining parameters namely intercept, seed, chemical fertilizers, irrigation and machine labour were high in the farms of Guntur district. As per the formula NPC of the turmeric had been estimated. The estimated NPC is 0.39 in 2008, which is considered to be highly competitive. Similarly from 2009 onwards due to rise in domestic prices the value of NPC is 0.4-0.7 which indicates the competitiveness has declined.It can be concluded that ,the turmeric considered in the study are competitive for exports.The results are on par with the study conducted by Ravi and Reddy(1998) on comparative advantage of selected agricultural commodities. The results are also in conformity with the studies conducted by Dahia (2001) on competitiveness of different agricultural commodities using Nominal protection co- efficients (NPCs). The negative sign for Effective rate of protection implies that there is negative value added at international prices during this year. This arises because input costs exceed the output price. Since the phenomenon is being observed at one point of time,it could be short term losses which get reflected as negative Effective rate of protection. Bangladesh was one of the most loyal importers of Indian turmeric as reflected by retention of 48.84 per cent Shares over the study period. The free trade agreements under the Bay of Bengal Intiative for Multi- Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) and South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) would have encouraged greater cooperation and trade between countries. United Arab Emirates, United States of America, Iran, United Kingdom and others retained export share of 28.54 per cent, 42.37 per cent, 30.71 per cent, 32.60 per cent and 81 per cent respectively. United Arab Emirates lost 71.46 per cent of its export shares to Japan, United States of America, Iran, United Kingdom and Bangladesh, while it gained shares from Japan, United States of America, Iran and others. Japan was found to be losing the status of a stable importer of Indian turmeric. United States of America lost 57.63 percent of its export shares to United Arab Emirates and Japan, United Kingdom and Bangladesh. Iran lost 69.29 per cent of its export shares to United Arab Emirates, United States of America and others, while it gained shares from United Arab Emirates, Japan, Bangladesh and others. The farmers of Nizamabad district cultivating turmeric are mainly facing with the constraint of lack of credit facility, followed by the other constraints namely forced to sell due to immediate need of money, due to high labour prices, presence of facilitative middlemen(commission agents), due to price fluctuations observed during this year, low yields are observed due to bad weather conditions, lack of stringent quality perceptions, inadequate facilities at the market for personal stay respectively. In Guntur district farmers those who are cultivating turmeric are mainly faced with the constraints namely price fluctuations, high labour prices, lack of awareness on benefits if exported, seasonal variations, transportation problems, lack of stringent quality perceptions respectively. |
