Abstract
Agriculture is a significant part of the Indian economy, accounting for
about 19.9 per cent of total GDP and provides employment opportunity for more
than 60 per cent of the population. India is one of the leading producers of
agricultural products like paddy, wheat, pulses, groundnuts, rapeseeds, fruits,
vegetables, sugarcane, tea, jute, cotton, tobacco leaves etc. Before reaching
the market, each commodity has to go through a series of processes such as
harvesting, threshing, winnowing, bagging, transportation, storage, processing,
and exchange, where producers incur production and processing losses and
price risk.
The present study was carried out to examine existing public and private
agri warehouses in Rajnandgaon District of Chhattisgarh and to study the
awareness level among the farmers regarding the agri warehouse facilities and
their utilization pattern and analyse the constraints faced by stakeholders.
Convenient sampling technique was employed to select 60 respondent farmers
and using judgmental sampling technique 10 traders and 10 warehouse
supervisors were selected for the study based on warehouse location.
