dc.description.abstractThis study was conducted in chickpea’s major producing states of India. Those states were Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. They accounted more than 80 per cent in area and production of chickpea in the country during TE 2015-16. Compound annual growth rate and variability of area, production and yield of chickpea in the selected states and all India were examined for the period from 195051 to 2015-16. The CAGR of area, production and yield during the overall period were 0.05, 0.08 and 0.13 per cent respectively. The variability for the same period was 14.23, 13.31 and 9.96 per cent respectively. The growth rate in area and production were found to be positive in all the selected states except Uttar Pradesh. One major market was taken from the each selected states to study the price behavior and integration of markets. The minimum support price, farm harvest price, wholesale price and retail price of chickpea had been increasing over the years. Seasonality was observed in wholesale price as well as in retail price of chickpea. The farm harvest prices in the selected states were found to be fluctuated over the years. Advance econometric analysis like Granger Causality test, Johansen Co-integration test and Vector Error Correction Model were employed to examine the integration of markets. Out of six selected wholesale markets, 5 markets were having a long run relationship and out of six selected retail markets, 4 markets were having a long run relationship. Hence, the selected chickpea markets were integrated in the long run. Concentration of marketing during lean seasons would help reducing the seasonality of price of chickpea.en_US
