TRENDS IN ARRIVAL AND PRICES OF PULSES IN MAHARASHTRA
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 52
Abstract
The results of seasonal indices regarding prices of gram revealed that, in Pune market were highest in the months of September to December and in Solapur market prices were highest in October. In the case of pigeon pea, a seasonal index of prices was maximum in the month of September. The seasonal fluctuations in arrivals and prices do not show any specific trend. In the harvest period, the prices of pigeon pea were comparatively lower. Because of immediate need of cash, producers sell their produce as soon as it is harvested even if the prices are lower. To reap the benefits of higher prices, it is suggested that farmers should sale the gram in December and pigeon pea in September. But to achieve these, wheat will have to be stored for the period of 8 to 9 months.
