5.2.5 Shrimp large (galda)<br />

Collection process<br />

Shrimp (large) involves collection which is normally carried out on a weekly basis. In many<br />

cases, the collectors also get a small share of profit in this case. Our survey shows that on an<br />

average one boat with more or less 4-6 collectors carries around 40-60 Kg of shrimp large<br />

(galda) fish.<br />

Value Addition<br />

Table 5.5 presents costs and returns for large shrimp (galda). Monthly gross returns and net<br />

returns have been calculated. Net returns as percentage of working capital have been calculated<br />

for each individual actor. Value addition in terms of price shows that collectors as usual provide<br />

the highest price value addition, about three-fourths (75.0%) of the total price. Keeping<br />

collectors aside, retailers create the highest value addition (8.7%), followed by Majhis/Beparis<br />

(5.0%), Choto and Boro Mahajans (both 3.3%), Aratdars (2.5%) and wholesalers (2.2%).<br />

Volume of trade<br />

Volume of trade is one major indicator to look at profitability of the actors. Of all the actors,<br />

Aratdars carry out the highest volume of trade (40.2%), followed by wholesalers (28.9%), Boro<br />

Mahajans (13.4%), Choto Mahajans (8.2%) and so on. Obviously, bottom level actors, Beparis<br />

and collectors, deal in the lowest volume of trade, 5.1 percent and only 0.31 percent<br />

respectively.<br />
