Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 17
Abstract
The present study has been under taken in different grade regulated markets to analysing the pattern of market arrivals and prices in Madhya Pradesh for wheat. As it is the main crop of the state. One Regulated Market (Krishi Upaj Mandi) i.e. Sehore, Mhow, Kalapipal and Katangi have been selected randomly from each grade (A, B, C and D Grade) Regulated Markets in Madhya Pradesh. The study has exposed an increasing positive trend in arrivals and prices of wheat in all the A, B, C and D Grade selected Regulated Markets. The arrivals in different grade regulated markets show positive correlation with the prices revealed that as the price increases the arrivals also increases in the market. But it’s not true in the case of D grade regulated market, which is might be due to lack of facilities in this particular grade of regulated market. The maximum arrivals of wheat (7976 tons) were found to be arrived just after the harvest of the crop i.e. the month of March, April, May and June and the rest of the arrivals were found to be distributed in the remaining 8 months of the year. The weak correlation between arrivals and price has been found in different months of the year, which was found, might be due to the government purchase the wheat of the farmers on Minimum Support Price (MSP) with extra bonus. Therefore, it is an urgent need for advancement and development of all the markets as the A grade markets having all the fundamental facility such as storage facility i.e. warehouse, cold storage, ripening chamber, including transportation facility as truck, buses, trains and basic facilities such as electric weighment, graders, electric display board, canteen, parking, post office, bank, ATM, with rest house, drinking water, electricity, toilets and internal roads and facilities that need to be online all the markets so that farmers can get a fair price of their produce at their home.
