The present study was conducted in Hiriyur taluk of Chitradurga district of Karnataka State. The study was undertaken to analyse the functioning of Hiriyur APMC in terms of pattern of arrivals and prices of notified commodities and financial performance. The secondary data / information were collected from the staff / records of the APMC. There was an increasing trend in arrivals of groundnut, sunflower and coconut while there was a decreasing trend in arrivals of paddy, maize, jaggery and redgram for the reference period (2007-08 to 2016-17). There was an increasing trend in prices of all the major commodities in Hiriyur APMC. The liquidity ratios, i.e., current ratio (ranged from 0.13 to 0.71) and acid-test ratio (ranged from 0.10 to 0.67) were less than the standard norm of unity for all the years of the reference period (2011-12 to 2015-16), indicating the poor liquidity position of the APMC. The solvency ratios, viz., debt-equity ratio (ranged from 1.80 to 4.31) and the debt ratio (ranged from 0.78 to 0.96) were more than the standard norms of one and 0.50, respectively, indicated that the solvency position of the APMC was not good enough to honour its liabilities. The profitability ratios, namely, fixed assets turnover ratio (ranged from 0.06 to 0.35), total assets turnover ratio (ranged from 0.06 to 0.19) and return on equity ratio (ranged from 0.18 to 0.52) were positive for all the years of the reference period which indicated that though meagre, the APMC was making profit.Keywords

The present study was conducted in Hiriyur taluk of Chitradurga district of Karnataka state. The study was undertaken to analyse the structure and conduct of Hiriyur APMC and constraints faced by producer-sellers and traders and commission agents in Hiriyur APMC. The primary data for the study were obtained from 30 producer-sellers, 10 traders and five commission agents of Hiriyur APMC. The secondary data / information were collected from the staff / records of the APMC. The systems of sale followed in Hiriyur APMC were e-trading, open auction and mutual negotiation. The Hiriyur APMC was oligopolistic in nature as the Gini concentration ratio was found to be 0.65. The major constraints faced by producer-sellers were high commission charges followed by arbitrary deductions and exploitation by middlemen while the major constraint faced by traders and commission agents was inadequate supply of commodities.Keywords
