According to the agriculture department, over 80 percent of the Groundnut crop in the district has been destroyed by untimely rain. Ofthe 3.5 lakh hectares of cultivable land in Chitradurga district, Groundnut is grown on 1.5b lakh hectares, making it a major crop, which is the backbone of nearly 70 oil mills. Fifty of them are located in Challakere taluk alone, which has the largest arunder Groundnut in the district, at 81,490 hectares. Besides oil mills, the district has nearly 150 Groundnut shelling units, which together employ over 6000 people. Several others at the agricultural producing market committee (APMC) yard earn their li velihood when the crop is harvested. The Chellakere APMC alone has over 150 bullock cart owners, transport agencies and several hundred homilies who are largely dependent on the mills for survival, said K. Nagaraj, former president of the Chitradurga chambof commerce. He said the mills employed workers from over 50 villages who earned Rs.100 a day. He said the mills had an annual turnover of over Rs. 70 crore and they required nearly 14000 quintals of Groundnut to produce 600 tons of oil every day. But owing to the crop loss, production might come down to only 20 percent of this year.

for the farmer to break even. The farmer incurs MK95 for every Kg of groundnut produced. This means that the minimum price of groundnut, for the farmer just to recover the costs of production is MK95 per kg of groundnut. The foregoing analysis of production function indicates that farm size, seed and labor are the important factors of production that affect groundnut output in the study area. The regression coefficients of these inputs were positive and statistically significant. Farm size had the highest MVPs as compared to other inputs; input is a fixed factor in the short run. Seed was the second production factor with higher MVP indicating that farmers can increase their groundnut output by using more seed. A study carried out Keshav Prasad, Deepanshu Patel And Balwant Singh Sachan (2013) Economics of Production and Marketing of Groundnut Behandar in District Hardoi (U.P.) human labour and seed together accounted for the highest per cent share in the total cost of groundnut cultivation in the study area. The marketing channel of groundnut crop available with the farmers was 71.77 per cent of the unregulated market and the regulated market contributed only 28.22 per cent to the groundnut production. The percentage was higher due to the long process and formalities which took place in regulated market. The producer share in consumer’s price was worked out at 81 per cent and 78 per cent in regulated and local/ unregulated markets, respectively. The higher producers share in regulated markets as compared to unregulated/local market was higher due to lower marketing cost, lower margin of profit and higher sale price.
