JAGGERY PRODUCTION, CHITTOOR DISTRICT, ANDHRA PRADESH
 
Description The present study entitled `Economics of Jaggery Production and Marketing in Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh’ was undertaken to study the costs, returns and resource use efficiency in the production of jaggery, and marketing aspects. The study covered two mandals and four villages with 80 farmers producing jaggery.
The sample farmers were stratified into small and large. Data pertained to the agricultural year 2009-10 were collected through survey method with the help of pretested schedules. Conventional and functional analyses were used to analyse the data and arrive at valid conclusions.
The cost of jaggery production was Rs 165859.81, Rs 171801.86 and Rs 169617.63 per hectare of sugarcane crop on small, large and combined farms respectively, thus, exhibiting positive relationship with the size of the farm.
The cost of producing a quintal of jaggery showed inverse relationship with the size of the holding as it was Rs 1688.14 and Rs 1598.75 on small and large farms respectively. The net income increased from Rs 50,180.15 on small farms to Rs 72132.34 on large farms.

The break – even analysis indicated that the jaggery output realized by the respondents was higher than that of break – even output, reflecting the profitability of jaggery production.
The results of allocative efficiency highlighted that there is scope for increasing the returns through reorganization of resources.
The producer’s share in consumer’s rupee was 82.33 and 79.58 per cent in channel I and channel II in marketing of jaggery.
The estimated remunerative prices were Rs 2001.78, Rs 1829.49 and Rs 1819 on small, large and pooled farms.
The seasonal indices of jaggery in two prominent jaggery markets viz., Anakapalle and Vellore indicated that the prices of jaggery are moving in the opposite direction to that of market arrival in both the markets.
