Agalawatta, 1998) Herath, P.H.M.U.The study indicates the importance of credit facilities to improve agricultural production. At present non institutianal lenders pay a major role in providing credits in agricultural production. Rural and urban level dealers act as one of the major components in non institutional lenders. Most of the present rural agricultural production is either stagnated or deterriorated due to indebtedness of the farmers to these rural and urban money/credit lenders. In some cases the market margin retained by dealers is higher than the price received by the producers. Also with an increase in producer prices, the margin retained by the dealers increases very significantly. This clearly indicates that the open market phenomena is being obstructed by rural and urban level money lenders. The indebtedness of the farmers reduces their bargaining power. Therefore, price level received by the farmer is being mainly decided by the dealer and not by the open market interactionsItem A review of studies on rubber small holder sector in Sri Lanka with special reference to cost of production (COP)(Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka. Agalawatta, 1992) Wicramasingha, W.N.; De Silva, S.; Peires, L.T.In Sri Lanka about 72 per cent of the area under rubber consists of small holdings of 20 hectares or less in extent. Therefore small holder sector is responsible for a major share in Sri Lanka's contribution to world natural rubber output. Most of the research done on natural rubber in Sri Lanka, has been geared to the interest of the estate sector. The work done on smallholds sector has been proportionately less. The purpose of this paper is to review the countably few studies done for the small holder sector with special reference to cost of production (COP) aspect. These studies are classified according to objectives, scope of the study and the priority given to COP aspect. The studies which considered COP aspect are further discussed and emphasis is given to significant cost items. Recent practices of COP estimation are also mentioned. Constraints and suggestions for improvement are also discussed.Item Recent trends in the world rubber economy(Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka.
