Abstract
A study was carried out during 2010-2011 to determine seasonality in arrivals and price of selected farm commodities. Seasonality in arrivals and prices indicated that at an overall level of arrival of wheat was highest in summer season (14744 qt). As compared to rainy and winter seasons, price of wheat was highest in winter season. As compared to summer and rainy seasons in groundnut, it was seen that at an overall level of arrival of groundnut was highest in rainy season (1705.66 qt) as compared to summer and winter price of groundnut, it was highest in rainy season followed by summer and winter. In case of gram the highest price was in winter season (Rs. 2182/qt) and in case of soybean the highest arrival was in winters (3090qt) and the highest price in rainy season (1705qt). In case of onion the highest arrival was in summer (2585qt) and the highest price in winter season (831qt). It was observed that there was no any specific relation between the per quintal price of wheat, gram, soybean, onion and season but there was specific relation between the per qt. price of groundnut with season.
