Abstract
This chapter deals with summary, conclusion and suggestions of the investigation entitled “A study on Arrivals and Price of farm products in karhiya Krishi Upaj Mandi of Rewa district in Madhya Pradesh”.
Price of farm products decrease sharply with increase in arrivals (supply) just after harvesting of the produce and increases with decreases in arrival during slack period, It is a well known fact that Indian agriculture is characterized by wide variations in output of major crops which subsequently lead to wider fluctuation in market arrivals. The extent of fluctuation in market arrivals largely contribute to the price variability of major crops. In order to device the appropriate ways and means for not only reducing the degree of fluctuations.
The present study was being undertaken to estimate the inter year and intra year price behavior an impact of the market arrivals on it which will assure the farmers in getting responsible prices of their produce from time to time. The study showed the variation in arrivals and prices in different seasons and relative impact of arrival on price. As study the market arrivals and their respective price behavior which forms an essential requirement for the policy formation. In this study the arrivals and price behavior of two different crops i.e. wheat (cereals) and gram (pulses) crops were considered for the intent study, the study analyzed the variation in annual and monthly market arrivals and price, determined the relationship between arrivals and price in the market and identified further constraints present in the study area here who identified from the farmers and traders. Time series secondary data for the year 2001-10 has been collected for arrivals, prices and lagged farm harvest price. The primary data were also collected to identify different constraints with the help of interview schedule.
Findings of the study are:
1. The arrivals of both wheat and gram in krishi upaj mandi, karhiya is increased over the years and shown increasing trend.
2. The relationship between annual arrivals of wheat and its model price was found to be positive for all the years accept for the 2003 where as for gram it is found to be negative for the year of 2006.
3. The increase in outcome of wheat and Gram in Krishi Upaj Mandi might be due to production technological diffusion, adoption and support of government policy on marketing systems.
4. Relative change and absolute changes were found positive and variability in both the commodity during study period of time.
5. Volatility of price and demand are almost stable in increasing trend in arrival as well as monthly in all years of study period of time. These might be due to store supply/production linkage of wheat and gram in Krishi Upaj Mandi area.
6. The lack of market finance was found the main constraint of the farmer’s in marketing of produces (84%) followed by lack of facilities of insurances of produces(68%), lack of grading facilities (60%), lack of loding facilities (50%), wastage and spoilage (40%) and inadequate weighing facilities (28%).
7. The inadequate storage facilities (44%) was found the main constraint of the trader’s in Krishi Upaj Mandi, krhiya followed by inadequate transport facilities and irregularity in electricity supply (28%) and inadequate weighing facilities (16%).
8. Lack of parking facilities (72%) was found the main common constraint of farmers and traders in krishi upaj mandi, karhiya followed by lack of standard machine for cleaning the produces, inadequate security staff and inadequate water supply (60%).
From the above findings it is suggested that:-
There is need for uplifted the market arrivals with the increased in prices of the products as it is cleared from the study that price, plays an important role for increasing arrivals of the products and significantly affected the arrivals of the products. The concentration of arrivals of products were less in the rain season periods hence, it is suggested that there is a necessity of all weather roads from the village to krishi upaj mandi.
Affords can also be follow up for regular cleaning of sheds, proper arrangement for loading of the produce, parking facilities of the produces in the Krishi Upaj Mandi. Transportation facilities to the mandi yards, regular water and electric supply and improve the timely payment system in the krishi upaj mandi. Further, the cover shade facilities are also required to protect the produces in monsoon.
