| Description |
The study was conducted to assess the production and marketing of banana in Chikkaballapur district of Karnataka during the period of 2012-13. The primary data were obtained from the 60 farmers, villager level traders, wholesalers, retailers and vendors. The secondary data were collected from the Directorate of Horticulture and concerned officers of the respective district. The results revealed that, three important marketing channels were identified in the study area. The main players in channel-I were producer, village level trader, wholesaler, retailer and consumer, in channel-II: producer, village level trader, retailer, consumer whereas in Channel-III: producer, village level trader, vendor, consumer. The share of producer in the consumer rupee was higher (50.90%) in channel-III, as compared to channel-II (46.80%) and channel-I (41.59 %). Farmers preferred the channel-I, because farmers relished (received) the cash immediately after the sale of the produce to village level trader at the farm level itself. Further, in channel-I, the risk of violent price fluctuation in open market could be avoided.
