Marketing efficiency of natural rubber by organized and unorganized small growers in Tripura: An analysis - Rubber Science 2014 - 225-233
Source Year: 2012
This study examines the price spread of sheet rubber in Tripura vis-a-vis small rubber growers organized under the Rubber Producers Societies (RPS)- Block Planting Scheme (BPS) network and unorganized growers. The study was based on primary data collected from 305 small rubber growers and 39 market functionaries. The net price of sheet rubber received by growers in the organized sector was about 90 per cent of the buyer's price. Conversely, the grower's share in the unorganized sector was found ranging from 83 to 86 per cent. The better marketing efficiency of growers organized under the RPS-BPS network over the unorganized growers has been reflected in terms of lower price-spread, higher efficiency index and increased growers' share. The study suggests appropriate institutional interventions for more coverage of the small rubber growers under RPS.
