I. Introduction:
1. 1

In the year 1983, a bri-f study was undertaken by the
Directorate of Eoolcgics and Statistics to explore the
type of land put to use by the agricultural households
in Kolar end Bangalore districts under the Social
Forestry Programme vigorously propogated by the Govern­
ment. The findings of t Ee study has teen published by
Directorate of Economics and Statistics in a short
review report in the year 1934 (publication No. BES 4
of 1984).

1.2

The main findings of this study revealed in the five
villages selected for the study in each of Kolar and
Bangalore districts are as follows. Out of a total of
367 agricultural households in Kolar, as cany as 67
(18.5?-) and cut of a total of 545 agricultural house
holds in Bangalore, as many as 94 (17.7 percent) had
attempted farm forestry cultivation of raising species
of Eucalyptus and vo.surina. The extent of area coverage
under Farm .■''res' ry l-y these 67 house holds in Kolar was
102.1 hectares w’lerc as in Bangalore, 94 house holds
who have mis i -arm forestry had covered an area of 140.1
hectares of land.

1.3

In ter;r- of
of land possessed by these agricultural hour-; /'Yds, it constituted 43.8 percent in
Kolar nd 51«2 pecoent in Bangalore. The main type of
land pu" to vse for raising farm forestry was agricul­
tural 1 : i, : ich accounted 63 percent in Kolar and
50/* i n B ar.
xngal 1 rc. The economic status of‘these 67 house
h Ids ir. Tolar eamprised of smd. 1 ard marginal farmers
to the extent :f 43.3 percent while- its status of the
94 house holds in Bangalore district comprised of as
much as 59.6 percent. A pertinent fitting of this
study was, of t he total of 161 house holds in both
Kolar and Bangalore districts taken together in the
10 selected vj ..la cs as many as 48 households or
around 30 percent ha put their entire agricultural

2

lend possessed to raise farm forestry cultivablen of Eucalyptus

and Casurina.
1.4.

Impressive impact of the farm forestry programme, vigorously
motivated by the Government for growing these two species
and over—whelmingly felt in Kolar and Eangslore districts^
necessarily needs to be backed up by adequate marketing
facilities and support for the farm forestry produce to be
put bo economic use. hencc^it was considered interesting
ti undertake a follow Up study., as a secuel to the earlier
study on land u se^t o investigate into the more important
aspects of narketing of the farm forestry produce of
Eucalyptus and . Casurina by a repeat study a ttempted in the
same sot of five villages selected earlier in each of

OBJECTIVFS OF TEE STUDY;

IV

Under the mbit of the study attempted the following main
aspects have teen analysed.

- 4..

1) Extent of marketable surnlus generated in the cultiva-tion of Eucalyptus and Casurina.
• i-

.

2) Proportion of the produce put to use for own co n sumpbicn.
4.
3) For what purpose the marketable surplus sold is put

to use.
4) What are the local uses of self consumed produce of

Eucalyptus and Casurina.

5) Markets and arran ments available at the village
level for the sale of produce of Wood grown by the
cult ivato rs.

III.

SELECTION OF VILLAGES:

3.1

As stated in the earlier paragraph^the attempted study being
a follow up, of t he earlier one, the same set of below
mentioned villages have been selected with a view to assess
the scale of economic benefits derived out of the marketing
of the produce in relation to the type of land put to

.

use under ^arm forestry.

PERIODS OF STUDY:
^hen the first study was conducted in 1982-33 the extent of

land cultivated in th

selected five villages of BatjgJiLore and

Kolar districts were 140.1 and 102.1 hectares respectively

and the corresponding no. of agricultural hois e holds raising

I

these two species were 94 in Bangalore and 6c in Kolar
districts respectivcly.
5.2.

In the current study undertaken in 1985-86^ after a lapse

of 3 years in the same set of five villages selected ±cr
the study, present that the extent of land cultivated under
Social Forestry has reduced to 112.5 hectare ob by 19.7
percent in Bangalore, while in Kolar district it has incre­

ased to 116.3 hectares or by 13.8 percent. The no. of
agricultural house holds who have raised these two species
has also reduced by 6 to 88 in Bangalore while in Kolar
it has increased by ^7 to 77.
5.3.

In Table II A and II B it may Le seen that in Chokkanahalli (Hosakote Taluk) village there is drastic reduction
by 88.3 percent in the extent of area covered at 43.7
hectares in 198 2-33 to 5.1 h-. ctares Un 1985-86. The no.

c

of house holds has also reduced correspondingly from

16 in 1982-83 to 5 in 1984-85. rhis sliding down impact
has been ascertained by enquiry to be due t o the acquisition
of these lands by both Government agency and Industrialist^

for non agricultural purposes. Such trends are however not

found in the other four villages of Bangalore District.

5.4.

In Kolar District in two villages Jakkarasakoppa (Bangarpet
Taluk) and Upparahalli (Maddur Taluk) there has been more

\

5.5-

than 50$ increase in extent of area coverage, while in
one village ^aranasi (Kolar taluk) status-quo has been

It nay be seen on general comparison that there has been
a positive impact of motivation ano ng th., cultivators to

Tiv whole quantity of 335 tonnes of Eucalyptus wood produced

having bevn rendered to be sold as marketable surplus^ has fetched
a total value of Rs.88456-^at rates ranging between Rs.210 to
Rs.300 per tonne. The avc. ;ge return per tonne works out/*Rs.264,

i

more or less comparative to Rs.260/- obtained in Bangalore district.
The economic benefits derived by the motivation extended by the
Government seem to be imnressive order the basic
cost being
rr ?c t ic a Uy n egl igible .

I

7,13

From the enquiry made with these 23 cultivators in Bangalore

and Kolar districts taken to-gether who have marketed the Eucalyptus
and Casurina wood r-roiv

i^it is ascertained that the marketable

surplus generated is cent percent. In otherwords the wood produced
between the p.riod 1980-Cl to 1983-84 has net been used for own

consumption. It is ascertained that only branches during the growing
periods of these yjoed species were used as fuel for own use^ having
secured the economic value of the wood produced and ready market
available for its disposal at the village site itself.

It can be see’n from the above table that in t he selected

villages of Kolar district, 21 cultivators who have harvested a
total of 1095.5 tonnes of wood produce of the Eucalyptus and

Casurina to-gether^ have used for self cansumpti^n^hardly 36.8
tonnes (3.4%) while, the balance of 1058.7 tonnes have bee.n marketed

■ bv sale outni

the village^ fetching an average sale price of

Rs. 265/-. per tonne.

Of the total wood production, Eucalyptus has contributed
666.5 bonnes. The quantity self consumed is hardly 17 .3 tonnes
(2.7%), the balance of 648.7 tonnes having been marketed as
surplus nutside the villagc^fetching an average sale price of
Rs. 211/-. p'r tonne. The wood production of Casurina was 429.0
tonnes, of which, hardly 19.0 tonne (4%/)is consumed for own u se
by the cultivators, leaving the major share of wood produce at
n sale on' side the

village. Such mari<ct sales has fetched an ?v r^nr s''lc nrice of
Rs. 350/-. per tonne.

In Table VI the nr auction and disposal of wood produce of

Eucalyptus and casurine was analysed. <Ve have seen that from the
sample villages enumerated both in Bangalore and Kolar districts
more than 95% of the wood produce was sold for deriving economic

P

benefits. Vithout ad-quate- marketing facilities such efforts
would not be possible and raising of those two species on their

agricultural holdings would be proposition involving high risk
when domestic consumption is too low.

the village level do not face any problem for marketing their
