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.
