| dc.description.abstract | Agricultural marketing system in India is characterized by various problems like insufficient marketing infrastructure, malpractices in marketing system, non-transparent price discovery mechanism, lack of market information, etc. Unified Market Platform (UMP) trade is implemented in 2014 for copra and turmeric marketing in Tiptur and Chamarajanagara APMCs of Karnataka. In this context the present study is an effort to analyze the awareness, perception and constraints in implementing copra and turmeric under UMP trade in Tiptur and Chamarajanagara APMCs. A sample of 30 farmers, 10 traders and 10 commission agents totaling 50 samples were selected from each APMC. Tiptur has highest number of UMP registered stakeholders among the markets selected. About 73 per cent of copra farmers were aware of UMP trade, whereas it was 86 per cent in the case of turmeric farmers. The preference to UMP trade was significantly influenced by area under crop, education level and price received. It was found that with the inception of UMP trade, the arrivals had almost doubled in Tiptur and Chamarajanagara districts. Increase in market competition, transparency in tender declaration and updated information about the prices were the advantages to the stakeholders under UMP. Delay in marketing process and lack of awareness on market fees were the major problems faced by the stakeholders. Infrastructure for quality assaying facility is needed to for better functioning of UMP trade both at market and village level. | en_US |
