Description Oil seed crops occupy an important place in the farming system of India.
These are highly paying crops of the dry regions. Oils and fats are the important
constituent of human diet and are important source of energy. The present study was
conducted with the following objectives: (i) To study the marketing pattern of rapeseed
and mustard. (ii).To estimate the economics of rapeseed and mustard processing. (iii)
To identify the constraints in marketing and processing of rapeseed and mustard. For
this study the four markets namely Bhwani, Charkhidadri, Mahendergarh and Narnaul
were selected purposely. Two villages were selected randomly from each selected
market. From each selected village 30 farmers were selected randomly, therefore, a total
of 240 farmers were selected. Gross returns and net returns were found higher on small
farms as compared to medium and large farms in both the selected districts Two major VIIImarketing
channels observed under the study were (a). Channel-I:
Producer–Commission agent–Oil-expeller/oil-miller–Retailer–Consumer. (b).
Channel-II: Producer–Commission
agent–Wholesaler–Oil-expeller/Oil-miller–Retailer–Consumer. Among both the
channel-I is most prevalent route through which majority of the farmers sell more than
3/4th of their quantity sold in different market of study area. It was found that share of
producers in consumer’s rupee under channel-I was almost same in all the four markets.
Retailer’s share in consumer’s rupee was highest which ranged from 5.09 per cent to
5.60 per cent followed by oil-miller (3.3 to 3.59%), oil-expeller (2.46 to 3.0%) and
commission agent (1.78%). In case of channel-II the retailer’s share in consumer’s
rupee was maximum (5.14 to 5.74%) followed by oil-miller (3.40 to 4.01%),
oil-expeller (2.07 to 2.84%), commission agent (1.75%) and wholesaler (1.27 to 1.47%)
in all the four markets. In case of channel-I cost of oil expeller was maximum ranging
between Rs. 164 to Rs. 176 and minimum was of retailer as Rs. 5.25. in case of
channel-II. While the cost of wholesaler was maximum ranging between Rs. 86.65 to
Rs. 88.81 and minimum was of retailer Rs. 5.25. The cost and returns of processing of
rapeseed and mustard were also studied, and it was observed that total cost per quintal
of mustard was Rs.1806.48 whereas total fixed cost was Rs. 15.29, the value of oil and
oil-cake was Rs.1452.82 and Rs.414.16 per quintal of mustard, respectively. Hence the
net return was Rs.60.49 in case of oil-mills. In case of oil-expeller the total fixed cost
per quintal of mustard was Rs.18.85 whereas the total variable cost and total cost were
Rs.1824.19 and Rs.1843.04, respectively. The value of oil extracted per quintal of
mustard was Rs.1438.29 and for oil cake it was Rs.449.23 hence net return was Rs.44.8
per quintal. Comparatively low cost and higher return were found in oil-mills than the
oil-expellers, which indicated that, the cost of processing per quintal of mustard and
plant size were inversely related. The higher rate of taxation, market fees, power supply
and availability of raw material are the major constraints involved in processing. The
major problems regarding the marketing of rapeseed and mustard were price variation,
middlemen involved at different stages of marketing, lack of storage/warehousing
facilities, lack of grading and standardization facilities and auction problem.
