| dc.description.abstract | The index of arecanut production in India has moved from 153 in 1970 - 71 (Triennium ending 1961-62= 100) to 208 in 1980-81. The compound growth rates of area, production and yield of arecanut in the country are estimated at 0.32 per cent, 3.05 per cent and 2.69 per cent respectively, per annum for the period 1970-71 to 1979-80. India was turned to a net exporter of arecanut from the net importer from 1967 through her R 8- D efforts. The exports however, constitutes mere 0.15per cent to 0.37 per cent of Indias production. During the 1970s, the export growth rates have been very much spectacular, the annual compound rates for the quantity exported, export earnings and unit values being 12.07 per cent, 17.86 per cent and 5.17 per cent, respectively. The wholesale price index for different types of arecanut in 1980 have gone up by three to four times over 1959-62. Arecanut enterprise today is found to be highly paying due to both the attractive price incentives and the adoption of high density cropping systems in areca gardens by raising cacao, banana, cardamom, pepper, pineapple and several economically important crop species as inter/mixed crops. The outlook seems to be bright as the processing industry has been able to develop a few value added products that find ready acceptance among the non-traditional consumers. | en_US |
