Subscribe/Renew Journal
The present investigation was undertaken in Jaipur district of Rajasthan state with 200 farmers as respondents. It can be concluded from the findings of the present investigation that the marketing aspects like; "There should be stringent action against black marketers and hoarders who buy the stocks from farmers at cheap prices and create artificial demand and then sell the stocks at higher prices", "Farmers should be protected from middlemen exploitation", "Provide loans to the farmers at low rate of interest so that they will be freed from the clutches of local money lenders who squeeze them", "Generate a new distribution network that connects the farmers directly to the consumers to get maximum returns", "There should be policy intervention for providing appropriate and sustained market intelligence in rural areas", "There is need to create local outlets at each village where the farmers sell their stocks directly to the consumers", "There is need to provide incentives and create suitable provisions for post harvest processing and value addition of agricultural produce", and "Government should levy single entry tax instead of levying multiple entry taxes either directly or indirectly for the transactions and activities that are involved in agricultural marketing such as transportation, processing, grading etc., as it would benefit both farmers and consumers directly", should be taken care of while formulating the future marketing strategy for agricultural produce. Furthermore, the statements ranked least important by "the farmers should also be given weightage as per their rank for benefit of the farming community and marketing system as well".
