Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the important commercial crops of India. It is a crop of tropical and sub-tropical regions and requires a warm humid climate. Chillies exports from India are mostly to Sri Lanka, USA, Nepal, Mexico and Bangladesh. Among these countries, USA, Sri Lanka and Mexico are the major buyers for Indian chillies. It is worth noting that the growth rate in export of chilli is increasing over a period on one hand and export competitive on the other. The quantity of chilli exports grew annually by 14.32 per cent, export value by 23.16 per cent and unit value by 8.41 per cent. Thus, country has a comparative advantage in the export of chili and this can be achieved with the concerted efforts of government by developing transport facilities to export the chilli.Keywords

The present paper aims to analyse the behaviour of arrivals and prices of cotton in non-traditional areas of Karnataka and also the respondents operating in different channels of marketing and their efficiency measures i.e., Mysore, Davanagere, Shivamogga and Chitradurga districts were selected as non-traditional areas of Karnataka. Seasonal indices computed to study the seasonal variations in market arrivals and prices of cotton. Annual and monthly data relating to arrivals and prices were obtained from the register maintained in each APMC office. The data pertaining to annual arrivals and prices were collected for the period 1997-98 to 2011-12. The other sources consulted for the collection of relevant secondary data were the Additional Director of Agricultural Marketing and Department of Agriculture of the respective selected districts. Results revealed that, higher indices of market arrivals and prices were observed in the peak period (September to December month) and positive correlation between prices and arrivals of cotton in all the four selected markets. Farmers have been forced to sell their produce immediately after the harvest due to greater financial pressure. The marketing efficiency of different channels in marketing cotton has been worked out by Acharya’s modified method. In marketing of their cotton produce, majority of the farmers operated through channel III followed by channel II and I. Channel III was the most efficient one because marketing efficiency index was 9.34 in Davanagere market, followed by Shivamogga market with 9.25, Mysore market 8.73 and 8.48 in case of Chamarajanagar market. The low marketing efficiency was observed in case of channel I. The low marketing efficiency in channel I was on account of more number of the market intermediaries in this chain. The marketing efficiency in different channels ranged differently among different market.Keywords
