Mapping is the process of making a pictorial representation of the VCA (value chain analysis). The study was conducted with the objective of to map the different components and stakeholders in the value chain of numeric to analyse the distribution of benefits at each level of value chain of turmeric. The study was based upon both primary and secondary sources of data. Primary data was collected through the survey of farmers, village traders, wholesalers, and input suppliers. Secondary data were collected from the published works of various authors, several journals and magazines. The collected data were analysed by using the tools like Value chain mapping, Percentage Analysis and rank order scale.
Value chain mapping was made by analysing the various dimensions like core processes in the value chain, actors involved in the turmeric value chain, specific activities of core processes, flow of product, information and knowledge, volume of product, geographical flow of product, value at different levels of value chain, type of relationship and linkages exists and mapping the constraints and potential solutions. The study attempted to analyse the value chain of turmeric in Pazhayannur block of Thrissur district. At each level, actors are adding values to the product. Turmeric cultivation in the study area gives a good return to the farmers because of the subsidy from Krishibhavan. Farmers face a lot of problems in production stage which include erratic climatic conditions, low productivity and yield, small size of land holdings and lack of scientific technology. Institutional support to farmers in input provision and marketing of turmeric is the major solution for the problems.
