"Maize is one of the important food grains in the world. Apart from its
use as a food grain for human consumption, it is being used for

maize has been collected from Gokak, Ramdurga and Saundatti regulated
markets. The secondary data pertaining to monthly, model price Rs. per
quintals and monthly total arrivals in respective markets for evaluating
different objectives. It was noticed in all the markets arrivals were an
increasing trend. Whereas, price is increasing in Saundatti market, but
slight decreasing trend is noticed in Gokak and Ramdurga markets.
The arrivals of maize were presence of seasonality effects within the
year and constancy of such effects from year to year. The season starts from
August to September and it is peak from December to February in both
Gokak and Ramdurga markets. However, November to January in Saundatti
market, in case of price, there is a presence of seasonality effects among
months but the effects were of the same pattern over all years, higher price

October in Saundatti market.
In all markets correlation coefficient was significant between farm
harvest price and regulated market price. Among three markets in Gokak
market high correlation was found. Positive and significant correlation
between farm harvest price and regulated market price indicate an increase
