Annexure-15 Production of bidi by licensed manufacturers of Orissa, as recorded by Central Excise & Customs (region-wise figures which usually correspond to the units defined by the CEC) Year Jharsuguda Sambalpur Bargarh(etc.) Belpahar Rest of Orissa Total production 1996-97 1999374590 2142336000 3625100 1075000 740952500 4887363190 2000-01 3972720990 2883076000 2697700 869000 623769475 7483133165 2005-06 1616355400 2536264000 1564000 9645000 1501340707 5665169107 (source: Central Excise & Customs, Bhubaneswar) Annexure-16 Export of bidi from India Item 2003-04 2004-05 Export in Value in rupees Export in Value in rupees thousand number thousand number Other bidi 769254 92627091 193589 42763055 Other than paper rolled bidi manufactured without machines 675734 113549272 1657638 231055808 (source: Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics, Kolkata) The two categories of bidi mentioned in the above table refer to bidis other than paper rolled bidis, i.e. the bidis produced and consumed in India in extensive quantities. Paper rolled bidis are produced in India in a negligible quantity. The major importer countries are the Arab countries, though our bidis are also sold in European countries, South Africa, United States, etc.. Annexure-17 Procurement of Siali fibre by the KL wing Siali(Bauhinia vahlii) fibre(pata) is traditionally used to tie KL bundles. This natural fibre has a property of getting stronger when exposed to water, and does not cause harm to the tied edges of the bundles. The KL wing procures this fibre every year from the local suppliers. The government has been granting lease for Siali fibre collection, to the KL wing since many years. Accordingly, the DFO(KL) of the concerned division acts as the lessee, and royalty is paid to the government against this procurement right. This right is of the nature of a monopoly where 59
concurrent lease has not been granted to TDCC, another govt agency. Usually concurrent leases are avoided in order to ensure sustainable collection. Following is the division-wise procurement (by the KL wing) figures of Siali fibre for the year 2003-04: Division Procurement in quintal Athagarh 129.62 Keonjhar 95.07 Angul 40.74 Dhenkanal 83.39 Sambalpur(South) 209.27 Rairakhol 277.48 Deogarh 309.114 Bamra 250.17 1 keri/kera of siali fibre contains 20 pieces of the fibre of size about 6-8 ft. in length. Each bag(60 kg) requires approx. 2 keras of this fibre. Recent procurement prices fixed for this fibre, by the KL wing, indicate a maximum offer of Rs.19 to 20 for the quantity of fibre required for one quintal of processed KL, i.e. max. Rs.12 for one bag(60 kg KL). [source: Office of the PCCF(lease section), Bhubaneswar; ACCF(KL); DFO(KL),Phulbani] 60
