Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
The economic analysis of marketing of fenugreek in Rajasthan was performed. In state of Rajasthan as a whole, on an average 61.33 per cent farmer’s marketed 34.50 per cent fenugreek crop in the villages to the village traders and 38.67 per cent farmers sold 65.50 per cent fenugreek crop in the regulated market. The quantity of fenugreek sold by them in the regulated market was positively associated with the increase in size of holding. 67.27 per cent quantity was marketed only in the first quarter i.e. during the month of March to May and rest 32.73 per cent quantity was marketed in the remaining three quarters of the year. Total cost in sale of fenugreek crop has been ` 403.36 and ` 372.81 per quintal, respectively at village and mandi of the state. Marketing costs were higher by ` 30.55 per quintal in sale at village as compared to that in mandi because of involvement of more number of middlemen in village sale of the state. Producer’s share in the consumer’s rupee has been 58.81 per cent in village sale and 66.04 per cent in mandi sale. Total marketing margin earned by the middlemen in sale of fenugreek crop accounted about one third of the consumer’s price (29.50 per cent) in channel-I and about one fourth (23.14 per cent) in channel-II. Margin earned by the middlemen has been lesser by 6.36 per cent in sale of fenugreek in the mandi than the village sale of the state.
