| dc.description.abstract | Studies conducted on the wholesale prices of four edible oils viz., coconut oil, groundnut oil, sesame oil and mustard oil for the period 1970-71 to 1987-88 revealed that coconut oil had commanded a relatively higher price over other oils during most of the years. The compound growth rates worked out for these oil prices was almost of the same order (8 to 9.6 per cent). But instability in prices were more for coconut oil than other oils. Wholesale price indices showed that prices for these edible oils increased rapidly over the years. Relative price indices of different oils in relation to coconut oil revealed that the relative increase in prices of groundnut oil, sesame oil and mustard oil over the years was much higher than that of increase in coconut oil prices. Correlation studies revealed that the prices of these edible oils move very closely with each other with correlation coefficient between 0.88 to 0.90. Regression analysis showed that the wholesale prices, of any oils could be predicted with higher precision knowing the price of any other oil. | en_US |
