| dc.description.abstract | Despite the higher growth In arecanut production, the growth In the prices of the processed nuts Is found to be positive and significant. The compound growth rate for the prices of matured, dried arecanutt (chall) in Mangalore market was 2.96 per cant par annum during the decennial ending 1988-89, while it was as high as 10.75 per cent for the processed tender nuts (Saraku) In Shimloga market. This trend suggests that the scanted betel nut [Pan Masaia) manufacturing Industry has created a sizeable demand for the processed tender nuts. Contrary to the general price behaviour of agricultural commodities, one will be carious to notice that the tarmgate prices of dried areeanut [shall) rule high In peak attival months (March to May) In Southern Karnataka. This could be attributed to the positive role of the CAMPCO, an Apex Arecanut Co-operative Marketing Organization working in the area. The seasonal Indices In respect of processed tendernuts (red suparl) in Shimoga market however, could reveal that the prices ware more or less stabilized year round and this could be attributed to the supply-demand balancing rale played by the Melnad Areca Marketing Co-operative Society (MAMCO) whose ma|or abjective Is to ensure a stable-cum-remunerattve price to the arecanut growers of the region. | en_US |
