Executive summary The project titled “Quality and Quantity Mapping of chillies in Khammam and Warangal districts of Andhra Pradesh” was carried out for ITC- ILTD.

CHILLIES or Cayenne, was though, at one time, Americas most important contribution to the world of spices, chilli is today one of India's major export attractions. An annual plant, chilli comes in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors and in different degrees of pungency. It is thus variously called capsicum, paprika, pimento, sweet pepper, red pepper, cayenne pepper and bird's eye chilli depending on the type of chilli and the manner in which it is prepared and used. An indispensable culinary spice in several parts of the world, Indian chilli is grown largely in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Tamilnadu and in a number of other states as a round-the-year crop. The medium pungent 'Sannam' and the mildly pungent 'Mundu' chillies are internationally recognized as the finest in quality.

Chilli is one of the spice crops in India. Indian chilli is exported to USA, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the Middle East and the Far East. Products are available as powder and oleoresins. India also offers high capsaicin content chilli with or without stalks and with clipped stalks, and fresh and dried capsicum. Due to its hot nature it is adored and consumed by the gentry who love "Spicy Indian Food “ ¾ The project was taken up with the following objectives a) To map chillies growing areas in Khammam and Warangal b) To know the production, yield patterns, price trends and farmers realization price c) To study the cost of cultivation of chillies and know the cost benefit ratio of two alternate crops. d) To study the value chain of chillies. e) To suggest procurement strategy.. These objectives proved the company with distinct competitive advantage in terms of Quality, quantity, market prices, source and time of procurement along with the procurement strategy in the districts of Khammam and Warangal.

The project data was collected from sources like Directorate of Agricultural Statistics, Khairatabad, office of Joint Director of Agriculture, Offices of Agricultural Officers (A.O), Research Stations and farmers in the areas of Khammam and Warangal. .A survey was carried out at the farmer’s level in Khammam and Warangal districts. The aim of this study was to find out the cost of cultivation of chillies along with two alternate crops and their cost benefit ratios at the farmer’s level. The project also aimed at studying the value chain of chillies.

The study revealed that the cost of cultivation varied based on factors like soil type (red/black), varieties grown (hybrid /local), irrigation facilities and the land holding of the farmer. The cost of cultivation of chillies has inverse relation with land holding. The economies of scale seem to exist. This was due to the farmers application of fertilizers and chemicals decreased with increase in land holding and also the cattle pair engaged for the day could work more then 2-3 acres of land at the same price given for an acre. Cost of hybrid chillies was about

30305/- rupees per acre

Cost of local chillies was about

24380/- rupees per acre

The value chain of hybrid chillies begins after the chillies are being harvested. At this stage the cost of cultivation is around Rs 26100 or Rs 1373.684 per quintal.

The chillies after they are picked, they are dried on cement floor and the moisture content is reduced to 15%. An average bag of chillies after harvesting weighs 60 kg .This when dried for 10-15 days, the weight of the bag of chillies comes to 35 kg. Thus there’s loss in moisture and weight. Cost per kg of chillies after drying becomes Rs 23.603/kg.

The infected /spotted white coloured or discoloured chillies are separated from the whole lot dried. This graded chilli fetches good price in the market. Due to grading there loss of about 12.5% .The poor quality of chillies separated called “tallu” is sold at a very low price. Cost per kg of chillies after grading is

Rs 27.26/kg.The filling of chillies in gunny bags, transportation,

loading and unloading and weighing operations result in the total cost of 28.24 per kg

The farmer pays commission of Rs1.35/Kg and finally it when added the total cost incurred by the farmer on the one kg of chillies is worked out to Rs 29.63/ kg. 8

The various marketing channels existing are

Farmers-----wholesalers------retailers------customers Farmers -----big traders-----firms (process chillies) ------customers (chillies power) Farmers -----big traders-----firms (oleoresin extraction) Farmers-----companies

The total area and production of chillies in Khammam is 23634 ha area and 87222 tonnes of production and in Warangal its 24525 ha and 61312.0 tons. The average per acre yield in the two districts is worked out to 16qtls of local variety and 19qtls for hybrids. The company by entering into procurement into these areas can obtain regular supplies of chillies as there rapid fluctuations in chillies cultivating area every year. The percentage of production from the two districts is around 23 % of A.P “s production. The application of chemicals in these areas is very less compared to that of Guntur. Thus the company can get better quality of chillies at reasonable prices.

The company before entering into the procurement in these areas must have seasonal data of the area and production estimation, so that they can schedule the amount of chillies to be procured each day and avoid risk of purchasing at high prices

The company should enter into direct procurement and direct farm procurement in areas of Khammam and Warangal.The Company should go for contract farming in areas of Bhadrachalam of Khammam district as it contributes to about 29%area and 30% of the total production of the district. The area is highly fertile, as it is on the banks of the river Godavari and size of land holdings of the farmers is large thus providing ideal conditions for contract farming.

The company can educate farmers on the terms of quality, variety by direct procurement.

INTRODUCTION

Chapter I

Introduction Chillies an overview The genus Capsicum stems from South America. Unlike most other tropical spices, chillies are easy to cultivate; therefore, their cultivation and usage has spread all over the world, especially to regions with tropical climate. The main producer today is India, albeit mostly for domestic use.

Chillies are the most common spice cultivated in India. It is grown nearly in all parts of the country, hills and plains. The important chilli growing states are Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Karnataka, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu. Andhra Pradesh alone commands 46% of the chilli production in India. As per the latest statistics, India produced 8, 00,100 tonnes of dry chilli from an area of 9, 30,000 hectare. No country in the world has so much area and production of chilli as in India.

India is one of the few countries rich in many varieties with different quality factors. Chilli is an essential ingredient of Indian curry. Chilli characterizes the curry by its tempting colour and titillating pungency. In curry, chilli is used as a paste, powder, broken split or whole form. There are Indian pickles, especially with tender mango in which chilli powder is added lavishly to form a thick paste with biting sensation at the end of curing. In all Indian homes, the poor and the rich use chilli alike.

While consumption of chilli is the highest in India, maximum export is also from this country. India made the record export of 51,900 tonnes of dry chilli in 1996-97. Oleoresin of chilli with low, medium or high pungency is also exported in large quantities. Chilli powder is another important item of export. Indian chilli and its products are brought by a number of countries. Important among them are Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, South Korea and USA for dry chilli and USA, Germany, Japan, UK and France for oleoresin. India supplies chilli in whole, crushed, powder or oleoresin forms in consistent colour and required pungency.

11

Utilization and Demand Chilli has two important commercial qualities. If some varieties are famous for red colour because of the pigment casanthin, others are known for biting pungency attributed by capsaicin. India is the only country rich in many varieties with different quality factors. While consumption of chilli is the highest in India, maximum export is also from this country. Chilli continued to be the major item of export in the world in terms of quantity.

Forms There are wide ranges of products based on whole or ground chilli entering world trade. The terminology for these products can be confusing, and definitions can vary between and even within markets. Chillies are used in whole dried or chopped form or as a ground powder. Chilli paste and chilli sauce are also frequently sold. Oil and oleoresin is the most important value added products of chillies.The key parameters for any dried chilli product are pungency level (measured in % capsaicin or Scoville Units) and color (measured in ASTA color units). In addition, size and appearance may be important. Producers should be sure that they understand exactly what the market requires.

Production and Supply In India chillies are grown in almost all States of the country. The important States growing chilli in terms of production are Andhra Pradesh (49%), Karnataka (15%) Orissa (8%), Maharashtra (6%), West Bengal (5%), Rajasthan (4%) and Tamil Nadu (3%). The total production in the country is around 1018000 tonnes (dry) from 915200 hectare in the country (1999-2000). The average productivity in the country is around 1112 Kg/ha Andhra Pradesh has the maximum productivity of 1948 Kg/ha followed by Punjab (1607 Kg/ha). Productivity is the lowest in Himachal Pradesh (270 Kg/ha).

Grades/Varieties 12

Chillies come in a bewildering range of varieties, such as Ruby King, California Wonder (both grown in comparatively milder climates), the Tabasco variety, Mexican chillies, Spanish and Hungarian paprika, Japanese chillies, African chillies, and Indian chillies which are sub-divided into many further varieties, such as Sattur, Byadagi, Sankeshwar, Guntur, Jwala, Rajpur, Mundu, etc., the names based largely on the areas where they are locally cultivated.

Quality requirements In chillies which are used in food preparations, quality is of much importance, and is based on the following characteristics: a good pungency level, a bright red colour, a good flavour, a mediumsized fruit with a moderately thin pericarp, a smooth, glossy surface, few seeds in the fruit and a firm stalk.

Medium-sized fruits are preferred to long pods, owing to the fact that in storage they remain intact better than longer pods, which tend to break at the distal ends. A fairly thin pericarp is necessary, as its moisture is less than that of a thick pericarp, and drying is more easily accomplished. On drying, fruits with thick pericarp show a wrinkled surface and dull appearance. Chillies with a bright red colour command higher prices than those which are dull red or even orange or, yellow in colour, and deep red fruits tend to retain their colour in storage longer than those which are of lighter shade.

In the case of pungent chillies, which are to be used for the preparation of capsicum oleoresin, the appearance is of much less importance, but high capsaicin content is essential.

When buying dried chillies select those that are uniform in colour and that have deep or brilliant colour. Make sure they are not faded, dusty or dirty and that there are no white spots or other markings that indicate improper drying, disease, or overlong storage. Select unbroken chillies, otherwise the essential oils that are contained in the flesh and that give the chillies their unique flavour will have evaporated. Good quality chillies will have a degree of flexibility indicating freshness. They should also have a good aroma, like fresh spices. Store dried chillies and chilli powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place. Although it is possible to store them for

13

extended periods of time, it is better to use them within six months. If you do keep them longer check through them occasionally and discard any that have spoiled.

Internal Marketing The major marketing centres for chillies are located in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu:

State Centres Andhra Pradesh Guntur, Warangal, Khammam, Hyderabad, Cuddapah, Vijayawada, Rajamundry, Nellore.

Maharashtra Nasik, Ahmed Nagar, Sholapur, Aurangabad, Nanded, Amaravathi, Lasalgaon

Karnataka Gharwad, Mysore, Hassan, Bangalore, Bellary, Ranibennur, Hubli, Byadgi

Tamil Nadu Pollachi, Ramanad, Madurai, Trichi, Thani, Dindigul, Virudunagar, Sattur

International Marketing India has immense potentiality to grow and export different types of chillies required by various markets. The estimated current world import of chilli is 1-lakh tonnes, 22.22% of total world import of spices. In eighties, around 1% of the total production only exported. This is mainly because of the high domestic consumption. In recent years around 2.75 % to 7.50 % of total production exported against the proposed target for chilli is 15 million tonnes. During the year 1999-2000, 64776 tonnes of chilli worth Rs.250.66 crores was exported. Though there was a growth in exports in terms of value by 8%, the quantity exported declined by 4.8% from the all time record export of 68019 tonnes during the crop year 1998-99. Oleoresin of chilli with low, 14

medium or high pungency is also exported in large quantities. Chilli powder is another important item of export. Other chilli products include: chilli seed, chilli fresh, capsicum genus and other pimenta. Indian chilli and its products are bought by a number of countries. Important among them are: Dry chilli - Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, South Korea, Chile Oleoresin - USA and USA, Germany, Japan, UK and France. India faces competition mainly from China and Pakistan who offer chillies at low prices in international markets.

Imports Imports of chillies can only be estimated as import statistics combine them with paprika and pimento. Imports as whole chillies have fallen in the world market as exports of chilli powder and oleoresin have grown. There are a number of factories in India, Pakistan and China set up in collaboration with multinational spice companies that are now able to produce chilli powder to meet EC and ASTA hygiene standards. Among the European Union countries, UK is by far the most important importer of chillies, reflecting its colonial heritage and large ethnic community, with the Netherlands the second largest importer.

Prices Prices of both whole chillies and chilli powder vary greatly depending on cleanliness, pungency, colour, and appearance of the product. Generally 0.7% capsaicin is the minimum level for the extraction market. Products with more than 1.0% fetch a premium. Prices for high pungency chillies (i.e. East African Bird eyes) are typically in the range of US$ 2000 to US$ 3000/tonne. Low to medium pungency Indian chillies (0.3 to 0.5% capsaicin) fetch between US$ 1,200 and US$ 1400 per tonnes.

Demand and Opportunities The world demand is expected to go up to 1, 13,000 by 2005 AD, consequently it is expected that there will be a great scope for export of chillies. Demand is growing for value added products using chillies such as chilli paste, curry powders and other sauces for the convenience food industry. Some of these are produced at origin but stringent hygiene and quality control level must be maintained. In the extraction industry, there is always demand for high capsaicin content (over1%) chillies, as this offers extractors a direct saving on unit costs of extraction. 15

The best opportunities for new suppliers lie in production of selected varieties of high capsaicin chillies for the extraction market, and in supplying niche retail markets for selected high colour high pungency whole chillies.

The project in ITC-ILTD was undertaken, to study the area and production of chillies in Telengana districts of Khammam and Warangal and to study the cost of cultivation of chillies and its value chain. The project was taken up with the following objectives

OBJECTIVES OF STUDY ¾ To map chillies growing areas in Khammam and Warangal ¾ To know the production, yield patterns, and price trends ¾ To study the cost of cultivation of chillies and know the cost benefit ratio of two alternate crops. ¾ To study the value chain of chillies ¾ To suggest procurement strategy.

Limitations The project had following limitations like Ö The survey has the limitation of limited area .since the area surveyed were the top ten mandals in these two districts. Ö The data from the farmers was taken based purely on their recalled memory. Ö The sample size was limited, as only 30 farmers were interviewed from such a big population of the mandal. Ö The project had an element of time limitation. Ö The statistical tools were elementary in nature. 17

Scope of study

The project provided an in-depth knowledge to the organization and me about the chillies. The company through project was able to map the area under the chillies, varieties which are grown in those specific areas, the cost of cultivation, market prices and the quantity of chillies produced in these two districts. In addition the company was able to make in depth analysis of the value chain of chillies and on setting up of the procurement centres.

Chapter III

Results and discussion of the Project Introduction In Andhra Pradesh, the extent of area under the crop in 1955-56 was1.76lakh hectares with 1.4 percent share in gross cropped area and of which only 16.9 percent was under irrigation with 9 percent share in gross irrigated area. As the area under rainfed is high, there are fluctuations in the area under the crop due to vagaries of the monsoon. It reached its peak during 1999-2000 with 2.68 lakh hectares with 2.1 percent share in gross cropped area, out of this area 64.5 percent under irrigation with 3 percent share in gross irrigated area. The percentage area under irrigation was raised from 16.9 percent to more then 40percent in seventies and above 65 percent in nineties .Due to this the state average yield of the crop has raised from 565 Kgs per hectare in 1955 to 2631 Kgs per hectare in 2001-02. The crop is popular in Guntur district with 19.8 percent share in chilies area in 1955-56 and raised its share to 23 percent 2001-02 .The Telangana districts Warangal (3.1percent share) and Khammam (1.7 percent share) with 4.8 percent share in area in1955-56 has raised to 21 percent in 2001-02.

Production Out of the total production, Guntur district with 22.3 in 1955-56 percent share stood first among the districts and the same trend is continued in2001-02 with 34.7 percent production. The share of the Warangal and Khammam in production of chillies in 1955-56 is 1.5 percent and it rose to 24.3 percent in 2001-02.

Mapping of Chillies Growing Areas in Khammam and Warangal Khammam CLIMATE. The climate in the district is generally dry and is very hot in May with mercury rising upto 52 C. Normally the temperature varies from 41 C in summer to 16 C in winter. RAINFALL The district will have around 1000 mm normal rainfall mostly through south west monsoon which is fairly reliable. SOIL The predominant soils in the district are chalka, dubba, and black soils. 43% area of the is district chalka soil and in 29% black soil and in the rest 28% is dubba soil. Nearly 48% of the total geographical area of the district is covered by forest. The areas on the banks of the river Godavari are considered as the most fertile lands in the district.

Cropping pattern Agriculture is the back bone of the district’s economy, paddy is the main crop grown in the district followed by Jowar, Chillies, Cotton, Tobacco, Sugar, Sunflower etc., are the important of commercial crops beside this Mango, Coconut, Cashews, Banana etc., are important Horticulture Crops grown in the district. IRRIGATION The geographical area of the district is 15.81 lakh hectares. Out of 4.71 lakh hectares gross cropped area, 4.46 lakh hectares is the net cropped area whereas gross irrigated area is 1.74 lakhs hectares and net irrigated area is 1.64 lakh hectares. Irrigation is plays vital role in the development of agriculture. Major source of surface water irrigation in the district is the Left Bank Canal of Nagarjuna Sagar Project. Perennial rivers flowing through the district have been the important source of 24

Irrigation. a) Tanks Khammam district has a network of Nagarjuna Sagar left canal system besides this about 55,522 hectares are covered by tank irrigation in all mandals in the district. b) Wells Tube wells and Filter points covers 19,223 hectares and 39,517 hectares covered by other wells system besides this 21,729 hectares covered by lift irrigation in the district. c) Canals Nagarjuna Sagar left canal is the main canal source of the district irrigating 97,479 hectares area covered under this Project. i) Major Irrigation.

The area and production in chillies of the khammam and Warangal can be understood by the graphical representation. The area and production of the two districts can be compared. The areas in Khammam districts which have good irrigation facilities cultivate hybrid chillies like the Tejaswani, Roshni, and with poor or inadequate facilities go for local varieties like Enginapadu,

29

LR- 1, and others. The chillies cultivated are of better quality as the pesticide application is less compared to Guntur. The chillies growing areas in Khammam can be broadly be classified under two types, the one growing in khariff and the other in late khariff or the Rabi season. The acreage under khariff season crop is predominantly in the areas near to the khammam within radius of 25 to 50 km. The Khammam being centre for all activities and with well equipped market facilities, the farmers sell their produce at Khammam market. Thus a procurement centre at Khammam may add advantage to the organization with easy farm procurement from the market during the months of Feb, March, April, and May. The total area which can be covered by procuring from Khammam is around 66% of the total kharif area from the last 4 years data .Similarly the company can go for procurement from Bhadrachalam as the mandals which fall in the radius, cover an average area of around 77% and about 77.52% of production from past 3 years data Average percentage area under chillies in Khammam during Rabi season Burghampad Dummugudem Venkatapuram 6% 3% Wazeed 4% Kukunoor Charla 3% 8% 9% Pinapaka 10%

Cost of cultivation of Chillies and Two Alternate crops ™ The cost of cultivation of chillies varied based on various conditions such as ™ Variety cultivated--- hybrid or local ™ Size of holding ----small or big farmer ™ Irrigated or rain fed ™ Source of irrigation---canals /wells/lift irrigation from river basin ™ Mechanized cultivation or traditional

The cost of cultivation was calculated based on the following assumptions made ™ The cost of production is for the high yielding varieties which are fertilizer responsive. ™ The farmer or his members are also paid for their work in the farm. ™ The average yield is taken from the samples mean of about 50 farmers. ™ Market prices of the chillies are based on the market price prevailing in the market.

Thus the following cost of cultivation was arrived.

The chillies after they are picked are dried on cement floor and the moisture content is reduced to 15%. An average bag of chillies after harvesting weighs 60 Kgs .This when it’s dried for 10-15 days, the weight of the bag of chillies comes down to 35 Kgs .because of loss in moisture . WORKING OF PRICE RISE AT EACH STAGE OF VALUE CHAIN OF CHILLIES 1) Drying of chillies 60 Kgs

So, 1 kg on drying is reduced to 0.585 Kgs So, there’s loss in moisture and the same price is holds for 0.585kgs 0.585

Rs 13.74

1 kg dried chillies cost =13.74*1/0.585 Cost per kg of chillies after drying

2) Grading of chillies The infected /spotted white coloured or discoloured chillies are separated from the whole lot dried. This graded chilli fetches good price in the market. During grading there loss of about 12.5% .the poor quality of chillies separated called “tallu” is sold at very low price. Of 16 qtls (1600kgs) I kg

2qtls (200kgs) -------tallu ? =1*2/16=0.125kgs 40

This is loss to the farmers and they have to bear the costs involved. So 0.875(1kg-loss of tallu)

__ Reason for suggesting Bhadrachalam as procurement centre The research findings make it possible to infer Bhadrachalam as the procurement centre because The Bhadrachalam is the connecting link to the all parts of the district which lie on the other side of Khammam district beyond river Godavari The Bhadrachalam holds about 32% of the total area under chillies cultivation and about 29.25% of the production, so the company can reduce the cost of procurement in transportation. The Bhadrachalam is suitable for centre of procurement as all important offices are present at this point which are needed for permission/documentation There are no nearby markets in any mandals in and around Bhadrachalam for chillies. By setting up procurement centre at Bhadrachalam, the farmers may bring their produce to Bhadrachalam as the route to Jagdhalpur where the farmers used to take their produce is Just 14 Kms. The other areas are under the forest cover and so in terms of organization safety they are not advisable. The Bhadrachalam is the centre of the all the mandals as stated earlier and all are at a distance of appox. 50 kms from Bhadrachalam

Procurement centre at Warangal The total area which can cover by procuring from Warangal is around 66% of the total kharif area from the last 3 years data. . The area and productivity of the top ten mandals of Warangal contribute to about 69.99% of area and 69.66% of production. The farmers under irrigated conditions cultivate hybrid chillies like the Ravindra, Wonder heart, Beeju seetal. And open pollinated varieties like the red top, red sun, and saral-1. 46

BY TRAIN

REASONS FOR SUGGESTING WARANGAL AS PROCUREMENT CENTRE ™

The Warangal is safe compared to other areas. The other areas are deep under the forest cover .

™

The Warangal centre has all the important offices needed for the necessary documentation. 47

™

The transport facilities to other areas are accessable. The Warangal is adjacent to khammam on one side and karimnagar. These two districts have large area under chillies cultivation

™

The Warangal chillies market is big and chillies from other areas can also be assembled if the centre is at Warangal.

™

The chillies growing mandals are 80-100 kms from the procurement centre.

™

The company by setting up centre here may follow both strategies like purchasing from the market and direct farm procurement.

PROCUREMENT STRATEGIES Strategies for procurement in Khammam AND Warangal The organization may follow a flexible strategy in procuring of chillies. Direct purchasing through procurement centre established The strategy is to establish procurement centre of its own at khammam taking up direct procurement of chillies from the markets or farms during the months of Feb, march, April and may at the price prevailing in the market. The chilies arrival during above four months was more then 20,000quintals per month.The organization should have knowledge of the chilies area under cultivation in every season; it will help the organization to estimate the price. Thus the company can also estimate necessary fall or rise in prices during that season. The company can also take up direct farm procurement strategy like Direct on farm procurement The company is advised to establish procurement centres in khammam and Warangal The company is advice to have sub centre functionaries i.e. contact farmers at each mandal level.

48

The contact agent should maintain the list of the all farmers who are interested to sell the produce to ITC. At the same time the contact person should have the list of farmers with variety, quantity, village etc and send to the procurement centre. Based on the data the company should go for procurement in those mandals and carry purchasing. This will help the company in reducing the cost of transportation (due to economies of scale). The company, like the traders, levy the cost of transportation and other operations involved, on the farmers from whom purchase is made. Condition favouring direct onfarm procurement The farmers are willing to sell directly, but payment from the buyers forces them to have commission agents who are responsible for the payment. The farmer may be more interested in the involvement of the commission agent as it may increase the profits. The company may get price advantage of about Rs 200-300/Q as the costs incurred by the farmer to transport and commission may be the same The company can specify terms in coming seasons about the quality parameters like the colour, etc which are required for the purpose of procurement. DISADVANTAGES The company should be able to judge the moisture and other quality parameters on farm and decide the price. The error in these aspects may be loss to the company If the company eliminates the commission agent, then it should ensure prompt payments to the farmer.

Procurement strategy for late khariff or in Bhadrachalam The organization may fallow contract farming and strategy of direct purchasing through procurement centre. The organization may take up the contract farming strategy in Bhadrachalam and purchasing from other areas through procurement centre at Bhadrachalam.

49

Conditions favoring Contract farming The land holding pattern is basically consisting of marginal and big farmers, so the company may pursue the large farmer for the contract farming. The Bhadrachalam occupies about 29% of the total area and production of chillies in Rabi season. The farmer regularly during to the cropping season regularly get loan from the commission agents for the purchase of inputs and other farm requirement, thus the company may fulfill these aspects The farmers are loyal to sell their produce though those commission agent or traders from whom they got loans. The farmer may be educated on the terms of quality aspects of the output. Quality: Firms have a higher degree of control over the quality and uniformity of the produce because theoretically, they can dictate quality control measures and farming methods. Contract terms may state that only produce of a particular quality will be purchased, creating an incentive for farmers to pay attention to quality.

Limitation The farmers must be made known about the terms and conditions of contract farming The company and farmer must decide on the procuring price of the produce. The company must be aware of 1/70 act, under this, no one is authorized to buy, sell the property of the tribal. And there are no land registrations in these areas, it adds to risk of the organization. Poor farmer relations: The relationship between farmers and firms can quickly deteriorate with poor management and a misunderstanding of the practices. This can result in higher incidences of contractual breach by farmers. Extra-contractual selling: If market conditions improve, farmers may ignore their contractual duties and sell in the open market. Misallocation of resources: Farmers may use firm’s credit and input for non-contractual operations, causing a lower yield for contracted crops

Research findings Conclusions from the study of khammam district ™ The average area under chillies the past 3 years data in khammam is 14663 hec. in khariff and 9033 hec in rabi . 50

™ About 60%of the area which is irrigated is under the cultivation of Tejaswani and the rest is under the non seed Tejaswani, LR-1, Enginapadu variety where less irrigation facilities are available. ™ The farmers’ application of pesticides is judicious and mostly need based, except for few farmers. ™ The chillies growing areas around khammam are within 20-25 kms radius and they incur uniform cost of cultivation ™ Most of the farmers market their produce at khammam market through the commission agents ™ The economies of scale operate in cost of cultivation; the cost of cultivation varies inversely with the area under cultivation. ™ It is observed that price plays a dominant role in the cultivation of chillies for e.g. the price (2004-05) of chillies is very poor, so the next year area under chillies would drastically get reduced ™ Farmers are willing to sell the produce on farm directly with reduction of about Rs 200-300per quintal. As it saves money in marketing of the produce and also the commission paid to the commission agents. ™ The farmer’s alternate crops to chillies are cotton and the next best alternative is maize or pulses. ™ During unfavorable market prices the chillies farmers reduce the area under chillies but the shift to other crops completely did not exist. ™ The cost of cultivation of hybrid chillies worked out approximately Rs 27170 per acre and when the marketing cost was added, it amounted to about Rs 30605 per acre. The cost benefit ratios was about 1:1.89 ™ The cost of cultivation of the traditional or the local varieties was about Rs 24380.00 per acre and cost benefit ratio was about 1:1.53 ™ The cost of cultivation of the alternate crops like cotton was about Rs 16760 per quintal and that of the pulse crops was about Rs 4290 per acre. The cost benefit ratios of cotton and pulses were about 1:1.58and 1: 1.45 respectively. ™ The farmer’s survey showed that the farmers were inclined towards the chillies cultivation than the alternate crops, as a chilli is highly remunerative crop and their investment will be paid off if the market price is good. Conclusions from study of Bhadrachalam mandal ¾

The chillies crop in Bhadrachalam is sown in late kharif. The onset of sowing for nursery starts from June –July and the nursery is transplanted after August

¾

The pickings start from 1st week of Dec and continue every 15-20 days based in the variety. 51

The cost of cultivation is slightly higher than other areas due to excess application of fertilizers i.e. 20-

¾

25bags of fertilizers per acre The higher cost of cultivation may be accounted to the high for irrigation costs. The chilies are grown

¾

near or on the banks of Godavari, so the source of irrigation is lift irrigation. The farmers use diesel motors to lift water from the river. Thus each irrigation costs about Rs 450/- and total of 8-10 irrigation cost Rs 4000/- . ¾

The more the distance from the river, the farmer had to use two electric motar to lift the irrigation to reach his source.

¾

The area under the Bhadrachalam lack market for chillies ,the farmer take their produce to Jabalpur which is about 237kms from Bhadrachalam

¾

It is also seen that the cost of cultivation decreased with increased area under cultivation. The reasons were the fertilizers were judiciously applied taking the whole area under cultivation



e.g. 20-25 bags per acre of the fertilizer



and 45 bags per hectare of the fertilizer



also the cattle pair per day costs Rs 150/- which covers 2-3 acres Thus the more the area, the lower the cost of cultivation.

Conclusions from the study of Warangal district ™

The area under chillies was about 17930 hectares and production was 51250 MTs.

™

The ratio of area under hybrids and local varieties is 60:40

™

The farmers cultivate hybrids like the Ravindra, Wonder heart, etc and the local varieties like the Red top, Red sun, Saral -1 and other open pollinated varieties.

™

It was observed that the farmers of Mogulapalli, Ghanpur (Mulug) and Bhupalapalli cultivated the Chapata variety of chillies.The average yield of this variety was 12-15 qtls per acre.

™

The average yield of the hybrid chillies was higher in areas of Mangapeta and Eturinagaram. The minimum yield of the chillies hybrid was 20 qtls

™

The cost of cultivation of the chillies was slightly higher than that of Khammam. It varied by Rs 2000 per acre. This was due to the excess application of pesticides and chemicals.

™

The farmers sell the produce in Enamamula market in Warangal

™

Like in Khammam, the farmer’s alternate crops were cotton, maize or pulses under rainfed cultivation and cotton and turmeric during the irrigated conditions.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS

53

Chapter IV

RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS The company should have knowledge of the area and production of the crop each year. It helps the company to estimate the price at the end of the season The company is advised to establish procurement centres in khammam and Warangal The company is advised to have sub centre functionaries i.e. contact farmers at each mandal level. The company when it enters procurement, wide scale publicity in leading news papers so that the farmers become aware and approach than directly for selling. The contact agent should maintain the list of the all farmers who are interested to sell the produce to ITC. At the same time the contact person should have the list of farmers with variety, quantity, village etc and sent to the procurement centre everyday evening Based on the data the company should go for procurement in those mandals and carry the purchasing. This will help the company in reducing the cost of transportation (due to economies of scale). It’s also advised, that the company should have its own equipment like electronic weighing machines, moisture meters etc so as to convince the farmers about the quality and its price in the market. If the company is keen on direct procurement or elimination of middlemen, then it should maintain prompt payment to the farmers. As the “middlemen” according to the farmers is “responsible person to pay in case purchaser is default. If the company wishes to enter in a big way then cold storage at Dornakal will add advantage to store the produce

Conclusion The chilli is highly remunerative crop. The procurement of chillies is one of the profitable businesses keeping in view the domestic and global demand. There are no major players in areas of khammam and Warangal, so the procurement may prove to be beneficial and cost effective. But the company to avoid losses should monitor periodically the area and production aspects in these areas, as it depends on price in previous season.
