Abstract
Marketing of vegetables continuous to be a major constraint faced by the vegetable growers and if the farmers want to be continued in the vegetable production their marketing issues should be addressed. Both purposive and random sampling followed for a total sample size of one hundred and twenty. The findings of the study revealed that majority of the vegetable growers were of middle aged (54.16%), had high school education (35.88 %) and belonged to marginal and small farmer’s category (32.50 %), low extension participation (80%), medium risk orientation (65%) and low innovativeness (14.16%). The majority of the respondents were growing bitter gourd (37.50%), packed in gunny bags (57.50%), sale in wholesale market (33.33%), transported by auto rickshaw(65.83%), no storage (86.66 %), below 10 km of market distance (48.33%), immediately receiving their payments (85.83 %) and shown low overall Marketing behavior (56.66%). Family size, sex, education, experience in vegetable cultivation, social status, size of land holding, extension participation, innovativeness and risk orientation were positively and significantly correlated with overall marketing behavior where as occupation, economic status and social participation was found non-significant with the marketing behavior. Increase in the storage facilities and processing industries will automatically improve contract farming which will reduce their risk and avoid distress sale of vegetables
