| 12 | Major problems/prospects | Raw material shortage due to erratic pattern in rainfall and decreasing area under cultivation of oilseed crops Difficulty in the availability of skilled labours for operating the machines. Nearly 80% of the core firms are selling the crude oil to the refineries without value addition. The firms in the cluster have a limited clientele. The linkage of micro decorticating firms with the banks is weak Low capacity utilization by firms due to raw material shortage is leading to higher energy per unit of finished product. Absence of proper facility for raw material storage. Poor access to proper testing laboratories for micro firms (decorticating firms and oil mills) and the small firms engaged in decorticating. No collaborative approach on common Threats & Opportunities. |
