Assessing the performance of Jaggery market in Andhra Pradesh state, India



I.V.Y.Rama Rao, K. Sriram



Jaggery manufacturing is an important cottage industry
in sugarcane growing regions of Andhra Pradesh state, situated in
southern part of India. It is worth nearly 2 billions providing
employment to nearly 300 thousand people. The jaggery manufacturers are
mostly small and marginal relying on quick returns from jaggery. Present
study taken-up with objectives; to calculate the growth of both
physical and financial indicators regulated market, to estimate the
growth and instability in sugarcane production and to identify the
trends in market prices and arrivals of jaggery.
The time series data relating to the monthly arrivals and prices
prevailed for the cane jaggery, annual turnover; physical and financial
aspects of regulated market was obtained from the annual administrative
reports of APMC’s (Agricultural Produce Market Committee), Anakapalle,
Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The area, production and productivity of
the sugarcane were collected from Hand book of statistics, compiled and
edited by Chief Planning Officer, Visakhapatnam. Andhra Pradesh.
Analytical tools like Compound Growth Rate (CGR) and Coefficient of
Variation (C.V) were employed to draw the meaningful conclusions from
raw data.
Results reveal that Total Turn-Over is more volatile than the total
quantity handled. Total Turn-over was more influenced by the price. The
physical performance of Agricultural Market Committee (AMC) is good, but
coming to financial aspects; it is positive and highly volatile.
Positive trend was noticed in prices and arrivals of jaggery in AMC.

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal Abdullahi MG, Roslan U, Kamarudin M. K. A. Artificial light at night and its negative consequences are of great interest in the fields of Ecology, Human Geography Astronomy, and Human Health. Most of the studies to date concentrated on the influences of light pollution has on our ability to view the night sky, on biodiversity, and ecosystems. Though, in recent years, with the use of new technologies sensors, which provide accurate information for determining of night lights at the area, most consideration were given for estimating artificial light at night within the urban areas. In this study, urban night lights within the cities of Nigeria was evaluated by monitoring data from the ground measurements using Sky Quality Meter (SQM-LU-DL) devices. Besides, the SQM was used at the zenith (upward direction) for maximum evaluating of artificial light at the sites. Differences in night sky bri...

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin Adimasu Woldesenbet Worako   Land use land cover change (LULCC) is the result of the long time process of natural and anthropogenic activities that has been practiced on the land. GIS and remote sensing are the best tools that support to generate the relevant land use/cover change in the basin. This study was conducted in the Akaki River basin to detect land use land cover changes within the 30 years period (1985-2015) by using landsat imagery data acquired from the GCF. Supervised maximum likelihood algorithm classification were deployed to classify land use/cover into four prominent land use groups and data’s were processed by using ERDAS imagine 2014 and ArcGIS10.1 software. In the basin dominant LULC was agricultural land use which accounts around 56.28% and the second largest is built-up area by 31.51% and the rest, forest(11.9%) and water body(0.31%) coverage were takes t...
