Description Black pepper (Piper nigrum), known as the ?King of Spices? is one of the oldest agricultural commodities of commerce. India is the second largest producer of pepper in the world after Vietnam. The study ??Value Chain Analysis of Black Pepper in Karnataka?? covers (Kodagu, Hassan and Chikmagalur districts of Karnataka). The statistical techniques involve value chain analysis, Garrett?s ranking and percentages. The major varieties grown are Paniyur series (61.66 %), Karimunda (20 %) and Panchami (18.34 %). No grading, value addition and certification is done by the sample farmers at the farm gate. Most of the traders (86.66 %) sell their produce to the wholesalers. Major quantity of the black pepper (60 %) the wholesalers purchase is from village level traders. Majority of black pepper (46.66 %) the retailers purchase is from the processors. Major constraints faced by the farmers are poor availability of labour and fluctuation of prices by the market intermediaries. Price fluctuation and less availability of buyers and sellers are the major constraints faced by the traders. Major constraints faced by the wholesalers are price condition in the market for procurement and poor availability of pepper. Poor availability of pepper and the customers were the main constraints faced by the retailers. There are potential opportunities for strengthening the black pepper value chain.
