Description |
The production of jaggery ranges between five million tonne to seven million tonne. As much as 40-45 per cent of sugarcane crop has been processed annually in to jaggery or khandasari. The study was conducted in Mandya district of Karnataka during 2010-11.Tamilnadu, Gujarath, Orissa and Hydrabad were the major Markets. A sample of 30 each Jaggery processors and consumers was randomly selected for the study. The investment analysis of jaggery processing revealed that sum of Rs. 5, 28,035 investments was required to set up a jaggery processing unit with a capacity of one tonne per day. The cost of production per tonne of jaggery was found to be Rs.21, 160, and the net return realized per tonne of jaggery was Rs.23, 000. Consumers preferred colour as most important attribute followed by shape. Non availability of labour is one of the major constraints in production process followed by power cuts and insufficient power supply. This is one of the important reasons for hesitation among the processors to take up processing. The major constraints in marketing of jaggery were no transparency in price determination low price offers and no accuracy in weighment. In India, only Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra produce good jaggery of export quality because they have specialized centres for jaggery production. But Karnataka does not have such jaggery research centre for quality jaggery production. Therefore government and non- government organization need to be worked in this way. |
