Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 56
Abstract
The study was taken up in Mandya district (irrigated situation) and Bijapur district (rainfed situation) of Karnataka. The results revealed that, average consumption of pulses, vegetables, fruits, milk, edible oil, sugar and egg that are rich in minerals and vitamins was comparatively higher in migration labour households compared to non-migration labour households. The total per household expenditure on food items was higher (Rs. 3883) in migration labour households in rainfed situation. The dependence of households on market for cereals and millets consumption was low in non-migration households in irrigated situation (80.52 %) and highest in migration labour households in rainfed situation (88.53 %). On an average, 36 per cent of cereals consumption was from public distribution system (PDS). PDS played an important role in food security of labour households by way of providing food grains at cheaper prices. The extent of market dependence for pulses was relatively lower in rainfed situation compared to irrigated situation. Overall market dependency of labour households for fruits and vegetables was 83 per cent in rainfed and 81 per cent in irrigated situation. The extent of market dependence for milk was low (37.98%) in non-migration labour households of irrigated situation and more in migration labour households of irrigated situation (88.89 %). The extent of market dependence for egg and meat was highest in migration labour households compared to non-migration labour households.
