calculated for each individual actor 76 . Our main concern at this stage is to look into value<br />
additions in terms of price. Value additions, defined as prices increased at every stage along<br />
value chains, are shown. In other words, this is price escalation at each stage. It can be seen that<br />
collectors provide the highest price value addition (49.7%) of the total price, the price being<br />
considered from collectors to consumers. Keeping collectors aside, retailers create the highest<br />
value addition (13.7%), followed by Choto Mahajans (12.7%), Majhis/Beparis (11.2%).<br />
Aratdars (6.1%), wholesalers (5.1%) and the lowest for Boro Mahajans (1.5 %).<br />

estimated.<br />
As explained in the methodology chapter, in normal situations, average selling prices of one<br />
actor should be equal to average buying prices of the next actors in the hierarchy in turn. But<br />
some actors sell direct to other actors through bypassing the immediate higher level actor. For<br />
much the same reason, selling prices or price value additions may not appear to be systematic<br />
and consistent in all the cases. In practice, both buying prices (not shown here) and selling<br />
prices varied according to various transactions so that average buying prices in combination<br />
with average selling prices (tabulated) were used in estimating gross margins and gross<br />
returns. Collectors who work for others on wages are not considered to have any working<br />
capital. Figures in parentheses denote column percentages.<br />
76 For detailed methodology, see Chapter 1. Working capital, rather than fixed capital, has been incorporated in the<br />
calculation of net returns on investments.<br />
