    (Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University, 2016) ANAND PRATAP SINGH; PRABHAVATHI, Y
    Price stabilization of food crops is a serious concern in most of the developing countries. The prices of farm commodities fluctuate more compared to industrial goods. However price fluctuations are a matter of concern among consumers, farmers, and policy makers. This study attempted to assess the price movement and prediction of future prices of wheat in major markets of Uttar Pradesh. A two stage purposive sampling was adopted to select the markets. The major markets selected were Agra, Kanpur, Mathura, Shahjahanpur and Varanasi. The time series data on monthly prices of wheat from 2005 to 2015 for the markets under study was collected An increasing trend in the prices of wheat was observed in all the markets under study. Highest and lowest seasonal indices in Agra market were recorded in the month of February (106.83) and May (95.89) respectively. In Kanpur market highest and lowest seasonal indices were XI recorded in the month of February (105.35) and May (96.48).In Mathura market witnessed highest seasonal index (107.64) in February and lowest (95.02) in June. In Shahjahanpur market highest seasonal index was found in February (106.97) and Minimum seasonal index was recorded in April (93.18). In Varanasi market the highest and lowest seasonal index were recorded in the month of March (106.58) and May (96.21).There were no significant influences of prices on wheat arrivals in selected markets. By using ARIMA model, the wheat prices were forecasted for a period of six months i.e. from January to June 2016. Accordingly, the forecasted prices in Agra market would be ranging from Rs.1537 to Rs.1498 per quintal. In Kanpur market prices would be ranging from Rs.1640 to Rs.1608 per quintal. In Mathura market the forecasted the price of wheat per quintal would be ranging from Rs.1550 to Rs.1477.In Shahjahanpur market forecasted prices ranging from Rs. 1593 to Rs. 1509 per quintal.
