dc.description.abstractPotato is one of the highly important crops in the state of Meghalaya where East Khasi Hills district is the highest Potato growing district in the state .The study on analysis of economics of potato marketing was undertaken for the year 2015-16 in East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya. Both primary and secondary data were used. In the study area the classified categories of respondent farmers were 61 marginal farmers, 18 small, 13 semi-medium and 8 medium farmers. During the study two markets, i.e., Mawiong regulated market and Iewduh Shillong market was selected and for each marketing channels was identified. In the Mawiong regulated market two channels identified were channel - I: Producer - Wholesaler- Distant wholesaler - consumer, channel-II: Producer - Wholesaler- Retailer- Consumer. Producer’s share in consumer’s rupee was 59.71% in channel - I, and 60.17% in channel-II which was slightly higher. And on the other hand in the Iewduh Shillong market four channels identified are channel - I: Producer - Consumer (90.97%), Channel - II: Producer - Wholesale -Retailer - Consumer (557.78%), Channel - III: Producer-Retailer-Consumer (69.59%), and channel - IV: Producer -Village trader - Wholesaler- Retailer-Consumer (51.45%). Producers share in consumers’ rupee was higher in channel - I as there were no intermediaries involved. During the study problems faced by the farmers were encountered. It was found that potato producers faced marketing problems like no asses to market information, inadequate storage facilities, Poor market infrastructure, unnecessary deduction, distant market etc. As production is adjunct with marketing, constraints for production were also enlisted, the sample farmers faced production constraints like high input cost, high incidence of disease, surfeit rainfall, continuous use of old varieties, lack of storage facilities etc.Therefore it is necessary to remove these bottlenecks for sustainable and efficient potato marketing and production in the study area. And also it is important that the concern authority should look through this issue and take effective steps to promote and strengthen the role of regulated markets in the state and establish more number of regulated markets.en_US
