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

collected fortnightly from the district head quarter Agricultural Produce Marketing
Committees (APMCs) of Agriculture Marketing Department by District Statistical Office.
The important commodities nearly about 32 commodities are taken from Wholesale and
Retail Prices of 110 commodities Report.
Average Retail Prices(in Rs. per quintal) of Agricultural Commodities for the year
2000, 2005, 2010, 2011 to 2013 along with percentage variation in prices are presented in

and in 2013 it was 28 commodities as compared to the prices prevailed during the
corresponding period of the previous year.
In 2011, as compared to 2010 prices varied between the lowest of 5.71% in case of
Egg'A' grade to highest of 60.66% in case of Pepper. The price of some of the commodities
remains constant viz, Ragi, Gur(Ball), Onion and Chillies(Dry) & Kerosene. It was observed
that in Pepper price rose with 60.66%, followed by Tamarind with 55.56% & Cashewnut
with 27.65%.

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

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%.

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
