PREFACE

rices continue to be a cause of concern to the economy of a country

where the inflation rate is showing an upward trend. In order to have

a more closer and comprehensive idea of the price behavior, it is felt

necessary to trace the price movements at different intervals of time to access the

trends in Karnataka, in particular and the country as a whole notwithstanding the

variations in respect of certain specific commodities/groups.

For this, the prices of selected commodities are being collected on weekly,

fortnightly, monthly basis from selected markets and shops of the districts,

depending on the requirements by the Directorate. Index numbers are also being

generated based on this data. Several types of indices are being worked out by the

department to arrive at the price trends in the State.

The Directorate had decided to bring out “PRICE TRENDS IN KARNATAKA

- 2013” annually, from this year onwards. Earlier, this was being published once in

every five years. This publication has been prepared by the Prices Section of the

Directorate of Economics & Statistics.

I wish to place on record, their best efforts in processing the data, computing

the index and bringing out this publication as was desired. I hope this publication will

be of use to all those who are interested in “price statistics”.

I look forward suggestions for further improvement of this publication.

1. INTRODUCTION

Prices play a very significant role in the economic development of a Country or State.

Prices affect both producers and consumers significantly. A rise in prices would upset all

developmental activities and also affect an individual’s household budget. Thus price

movement affects different sections of the population in different ways. Slow and steady

rise in prices is a must for healthy & progressive growth of the country. Whereas the

sudden rise or fall in the prices is bound to have an adverse effect on the whole economy.

The spurt in the prices or the movement of prices with a high acceleration is termed as high

inflation. Abnormal behavior of prices especially in case of food articles, causes a great

concern to administrators and public. The price rise is characterised by rising deficits, high

growth in money supply, depreciating rupee, nominal rates lagging behind real interest

rates and an abysmally low growth of employment.

The mechanism of prices is basically a function of supply and demand. In practical

terms, it therefore depends upon the Gross National Product (GNP) & money supply. The

purchasing power of money varies inversely with the price level. Price is often termed as a

Barometer of real purchasing power of the community. The changes in prices, both in

absolute and relative terms influence a wide range of economic activities and a constant

watch on prices becomes necessary for the operation and regulation of current economic

policies as well as for the purposes of planning and policy formulation. A rise in the price

level means a reduction in the purchasing power of money. Inflation may be caused due to

an excess demand over short supply of the commodities, pumping of more money in the

economy, unwise import/export policies, unsound taxation policies, natural calamities, war,

adverse seasonal conditions etc.

The State implements the policies formulated by the National level. The steps are

taken to ensure stability and to control prices of essential commodities to protect interest of

both consumer and producer, by adopting the procedure of procuring coarse grain from the

farmer at minimum supporting prices fixed by the Government of India, on the other side

the public distribution system was introduced to protect the poorer section of the society.

However the State Governments play a limited role in the matter of controlling prices.

Apart from having a regressive impact on the standard of living of the people, the price rise

also affects the export targets. Thus, the high inflationary pressure would not only erode the

support for the economic restructuring programme but would also put on a squeeze on the

purchasing power of the poor, thereby further limiting the growth of the home market.

2. MEASUREMENT OF FLUCTUATIONS IN PRICES

Variation in prices are measured by different methods. Among them, two methods

which are extensively used at all-India level are known as “Wholesale Price Index Numbers”

and “Consumer Price Index Numbers”. But none of these two methods cover the entire

range of the economy. The Wholesale Price Index at the national level is based on weekly

price collection of data covering as many as 676 commodities with 5482 quotations. This

index does not cover the services which account for about one third of the Gross National

Product.

A number of CPI series have been available in the Country from time to time because

of the constant need felt for proper wage regulation of an ever increasing labour force and

also the need for proper indicators to guide the formulation of important economic policies.

At National level Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers, Agricultural Labourers,

Rural Labourers are constructed and released every month by Labour Bureau, Shimla. The

three Consumer Price Indices are primarily computed for wages of blue and white collar

workers in industry and Government services and also for agricultural labourers. These

indices do not cover all the segments of the population in the Country. In order to overcome

the above, the Central Statistics Office (CSO) of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme

Implementation compiles Consumer Price Index for Rural and Urban Areas & releases every

month. Though these indices are confined to a wide range of commodities and services

utilised by a consumer, it covers only the consumer class. Thus the Wholesale and

Consumer Price Indices are used in general for measuring price movement/inflation at the

national level inspite of certain limitations.

At the State level, only for 33 Agricultural Commodities Wholesale Price Index

Numbers are being computed. Like All India level more number of commodities are not

covered on account of the inadequacy of the availability of data such as inflow and outflow

of commodities from State to State especially in respect of price quotations of non–

agricultural commodities and basic data required for working out weighting diagram.

As already mentioned, each of the above price measurements has a limited coverage

of goods, services and population.

3. PRICE COLLECTION SYSTEM IN KARNATAKA

The Directorate of Economics and Statistics (DES) was made the sole authority

during 1983 for all price statistics generated at the State level in view of the increasing role

this organisation has to play in the field of prices. Accordingly, the District Statistical Offices

has been collecting fortnightly Wholesale and Retail prices of 110 commodities from district

head quarter, Agricultural Produce Marketing Committees (APMCs) of Agricultural

Marketing Department. This information is collected to build up time series data of the State

and for preparation of periodicals.

The wholesale prices are being collected from APMCs on a weekly basis by DES for

computing Wholesale Price Index. Besides, the Wholesale & Retail prices of 20 important

essential commodities are being collected on every Monday by the District Statistical Offices.

Farm Harvest Prices are being collected by the staff of District Statistical Offices,

during the peak marketing period for three seasons viz; Kharif, Rabi, Summer. Similarly

retail prices are collected from 11 specified centres for computing Consumer Price Index

Numbers for Industrial Workers. Further, retail prices from selected villages are also being

collected for computing Rural Retail Price Index Numbers. In addition to this Agricultural

wages are also being collected for knowing the movements in agricultural wages among

skilled labourers and agriculture labourers in the dry, wet and garden lands. As above the

District Statistical Offices & APMCs are the main data suppliers of price statistics.


4 PRICE TRENDS

An attempt has been made here to study the price trends/fluctuations in the State

based on different tools as explained in the previous paragraphs.

i. Wholesale Prices of Agricultural Commodities:

"Wholesale Price" is defined as the price at which a commodity is sold to the sellers

or processors and not for ultimate consumption. The wholesale price in this case is the

“Model Price” which means the price of the commodity at which the largest transaction

takes place.

The important commodities nearly about 29 commodities are taken from Wholesale

and Retail Prices of 110 Commodities Report. These wholesale prices have been collected

fortnightly from the district head quarter Agricultural Produce Marketing Committees

(APMCs) by Distirict Statistical Office. The formula used in computing this report is "Simple

average ".

Average Wholesale Prices (in Rs. per quintal) of Agricultural Commodities for the

year 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2011 to 2013 along with percentage variation in prices are

presented in Table – 1.

As can be seen from the table, wholesale prices of 18 commodities in 2011, 23

commodities in 2012 and 25 commodities in 2013 have shown a rise when compared to the

corresponding previous years. During 3 years of movement of prices, prices of more number

of commodities rose during 2013 over 2012. However, wholesale prices of Paddy(fine),

(medium), (coarse), Jowar(white), Ragi, Maize, Groundnut oil, Chillies dry(byadgi) and

Arecanut commodities have shown a continuous rise from 2011, The prices of the remaining

commodities were fluctuating between 2011 and 2013.

In the year 2011 over the prices of 2010, except the prices of Rice(fine), Rice(medium),

Rice(coarse), Wheat(white), Tur(whole), Greengram(whole), Gur(both ball & square), Sugar,

Potato and Onion, prices of all other commodities have shown a rise. Cotton lint(58.05%) has

shown a highest price rise followed by Coconut(29.69%), Cotton (kapas) with 27.24% and

the lowest rise was recorded in case of Chillies dry (byadgi)(2.07%). The price fall was much

higher in case of Potato(-13.43%) during 2011.

During the year 2012, except the prices of Bajra, Blackgram(whole), Coconut oil,

Coconut(per 1000), Onion and Cotton(kapas), prices of all other commodities have shown a

iii. Wholesale Price Index Numbers(WPI) of Agricultural Commodities:

Since 1991, the DES has been computing the Wholesale Price Index Numbers of 33

Agricultural Commodities in the State with the base year 1981-82. Prior to this up to 1990,

indices have been computed for 24 important agricultural commodities with the base year

1952-53. At present, index is computed under 7 groups viz., Cereals, Pulses, Oilseeds, Gur &

Sugar, Fibre, Condiment & Spices and Miscellaneous.

The price data for computing index is collected through selected 40 Agricultural

Produce Marketing Committiees (APMCs) of Agriculture Marketing Department every

week and also from Spices Board, Coffee Board, Tobacco Board and Sugar Directorate every

month. APMCs have been selected for commodity keeping in view the volume of its (or its

varieties) transactions in the markets during the base year period.

WPI is being used in estimation of State Domestic Product and to study the trends in

prices in the first stages of commercial transaction. The formula used in computing WPI is

"Laspeyers Formula"

Trend in Wholesale Prices and Wholesale Price Index of Agricultural Commodities

are strictly not comparable as due to the following limitations:

1. The wholesale prices data is based on the price information received from the district

head quarter APMCs (which was reported in earlier paragraphs) while the prices

data for the computing wholesale price index are received from the selected 40

APMCs..

2. Market coverage are totally different for wholesale prices and wholesale price Index.

3. Index is a weighted average

4. There is difference in time lag and variety of the commodity.

Wholesale Price Index Numbers of 33 Agricultural Commodities for the year 2000,

2005, 2010, 2011 to 2013 with yearly percentage variation over the corresponding previous

years are presented in Table – 3.

As can be seen from the table, the percentage variation of index of all commodities

gradually increased to 12.31% in 2011, 7.42% in 2012 and 11.16% in 2013. The index which

was 876 in 2011 raised to 941 in 2012 and to 1046 in 2013. The index of Cereals, Oilseeds and

Gur & Sugar groups raised in all the 3 years under report where as in case of Pulses index

declined in 2011, rose in subsequent years, Fibre group, Miscellaneous group and

Condiments & Spices group index has declined in 2012 and rose in 2013. The index of 12

commodities declined in 2011 and 2012, only 4 commodities in 2013. The index of Jowar,

Castor and Coffee has declined continuously in 2012 & 2013 and whereas index of Linseed,

Cardamom and Tobacco has declined in 2011 and 2012.

Among all the 33 commodities Ragi, Wheat, Bajra, Maize, Groundnut, Safflower,

Sunflower, Cotton lint, Pepper and Arecanut have shown an increased index in all the years

During 2013, groupwise indices of all the 7 groups has shown increasing trend, in

which the highest percentage variation was noticed in case of Cereals group with 16.06%

followed by Miscellaneous with 13.95%, Condiments & Spices group with 13.33%, Pulses

with 10.31%, Fibre with 5.87%, Oilseeds with 4.97% & Gur & Sugar with 3.88%. Higher

increase in index of Cereals group has resulted in the increase of the State index.

iv. (a) Farm Harvest Prices of Agricultural Commodities

The Farm Harvest Prices are being collected by this Directorate as per the directions

of Ministry of Agriculture, Agriculture and Co-operation Department, GOI. The Farm

Harvest Price is defined as the average wholesale price at which the commodity is disposed

off by the producer to the trader or buyer during the peak marketing period after the harvest

is over. The price relate to what the farmer ultimately receives for his produce which is

calculated by deducting the transport and other market charges from the wholesale prices

quoted at the APMCs where the produce is disposed off.

For the collection of farm harvest prices, wholesale price of agricultural commodities

are considered taking model prices from APMCs in respect of all the important agricultural

commodities which account for major cropped area which involves bulk of transactions in

the APMCs of Taluk Head Quarters. The prices are being collected for nearly about 32

commodities in all the three seasons i.e. Kharif, Rabi and Summer for about 8 to 10 weeks.

The reports collected from all the District Statistical Offices are consolidated and

State weighted average of farm harvest prices is sent to the Ministry of Agriculture,

Agriculture & Cooperation Department, GOI.

The formula used in computing this report is "Simple & Weighted average”.

State Weighted Average Price =fnpn / pn, Where fn = farm harvest price of nth

district and pn = production figure of agriculture commodity of nth district (District wise

production information is taken from Fully Revised Estimates of Principal crops in

Karnataka)

Year-wise and Commodity-wise Farm Harvest Prices for the years 1999-2000, 2004-

05, 2009-10, 2010-11 are presented in Table – 6

As can be seen from the table, it is observed that in 2010-11, out of 29 commodities,

farm harvest prices of 22 commodities showed an upward trend as compared to previous

year. The highest price rise was noticed in Pepper with 78.60% as compared to previous

iv. (b)Farm Harvest Price Index Numbers of Agricultural Commodities:

For the computation of farm harvest price index, the prices collected in the peak

marketing seasons are utilized. The objective of computing these indices is primarily to

measure changes in the wholesale prices received by the producers. The weights in

proportion to the value of the production of each commodity during the base year 1961-62

have been made use of for the computation of the index. The weighted arithmetic average is

considered for the construction of index numbers. Index of farm harvest prices of

Agricultural Commodities is being constructed on the basis of weighted average of farm

harvest prices.

The index numbers for food and non-food crops are computed annually unlike other

indices which are computed once a month.

The Farm Harvest Price Index Numbers of Agricultural Commodities and their

trends from 1999-2000, 2004-05, 2009-10, 2010-11 are shown in Table –7.

It can be noticed from the table, the rise in the index of non-food crops was of the

order of 16.18% and that of food crops was 14.43% during 2010-11 over 2009-10. During the

same period, among food crops, the index of cereals had gone up by 17.68% and that of

Pulses declined by -11.32%. Among Cereals, the highest increase was in respect of Jowar

(54.78%) followed by Maize with 22.17%, Wheat with 9.62%, Bajra with 7.11%, Ragi with

4.58% and the lowest rise was in case of Paddy with 3.40%. The index of Gram rose by

22.50% and Tur declined by -18.15% under pulses. Among non-food crops, the index of

Fibre has gone up by 74.59%, Oilseeds by 24.80%, and Miscellaneous by 11.22%. Under Fibre

group, index of Cotton had gone up by 74.59%.

Farm Harvest Price Index Numbers of Agricultural Commodities for the year 2010-11

v. Consumer Price Index(CPI) Numbers:

a) Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers: (CPI-IW)

Index numbers are used to feel the pulse of an economy and are used as indicators of

inflationary or deflationary tendencies. The consumer price index numbers are intended to

represent the average change over time in the prices paid by the ultimate consumers for a

fixed basket of goods and services. The CPI helps in determining the effects of rise and fall

in prices in different classes of consumers living in different areas. This index also helps to

find out how much the consumers of a particular class have to pay for a certain basket of

goods and services in a given period compared to the base period.

The construction of CPI numbers is of great significance, as millions of individuals

whose wages are linked to a consumer price index series. The CPI numbers measures the

average increase in the cost of maintaining the same standard in a given year as in the base

year. Two series are adopted for computing the index in the State viz., Central Series and

State Series. The Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers of both the series

for the year 2000, 2005, 2010, 2011 to 2013 are presented in Table – 8.

Central Series:

In Karnataka, up to 1989, in respect of four centres viz., Bangalore, Ammathi(Kodagu

District), Chickmagalur and KGF(Kolar District) for which CPI(IW) were computed by

Labour Bureau, Shimla with base year 1960. From 1990 onwards, except for Bangalore, the

construction of CPI numbers for the other three centres were discontinued and instead three

new centres viz Belgaum, Hubli-Dharwad & Mercara were introduced & base year was also

shifted from 1960 to 1982. Subsequently, while shifting the base year to 2001, with effect

from January 2006 Mysore centre was also included. At present in respect of 78 industrial

centres in the country, including five centres of Karnataka viz., Bangalore, Belgaum, Hubli –

Dharwad, Mysore and Mercara with base year 2001 Labour Bureau, Shimla constructs CPI

Numbers for Industrial Workers and releases every month. Thus for five centres prices are

being collected by District Statistical Office and sent to Labour Bureau, Shimla for

computation of index.

It can be seen from Table – 8 that the index of all the centres shown an increasing

trend from 2011 to 2013. The Mysore centre recorded a hike of 17.97% followed by Mercara

Accordingly, on the basis of information collected every month Index Numbers of 11

centres are being constructed seperately in head office and released for the users.

Monthly weighted average of 16 centres is being prepared every month after

converting five centres of central series to the base 1987-88 which are released by Labour

Bureau, Shimla.

On the basis of monthly weighted average Karnataka State Annual Average of

Consumer Price Index Numbers of Industrial Workers is released.

It can be seen from Table–8, there is a continuous increase in index of all the centres

of State series from 2011 to 2013. The movement of index numbers in 2013 varied from

10.08% in Gulbarga to 16.96% in Tumkur. There was continuous rise in index at State

average and also all India average. State Annual average in 2011, 2012, 2013 has been

increased by 40, 53, 83 points respectively as compared to corresponding previous year.

v. (b) Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural Labourers:[CPI-AL]

The Labour Bureau, Shimla has been computing CPI numbers for Agricultural

Labourers for 20 states including Karnataka with the base year 1986-87. CPI-AL is being

utilised for fixation and revision of wages engaged in agricultural occupations under

Minimum Wages Act, 1948. At all India level from 20 States 600 villages have been selected

for the purpose of collecting the retail prices and this data is being utilised for the

computation of index numbers. The collection of retail prices in the selected villages have

been entrusted to Field Operations Division (FOD) of NSSO, Govt. of India.
