This paper has examined the market integration of wheat in Madhya Pradesh. Both market arrivals and prices of wheat have depicted increasing trends in almost all the selected markets of Madhya Pradesh. The present study aimed to study price movement of Wheat i.e. seasonal variation, price volatility and co-integration among the major wheat markets in Madhya Pradesh. For study purpose the data related to monthly average prices and arrivals of Wheat were collected from major markets from different markets in States viz., Bhopal, Gwalior, Indore, and Ujjain for the period 2005- 2016. Moving average method used to study seasonal variation. The econometric tools like ADF test, Johansen's multiple co-integration test, Granger Causality Test and ARCH-GARCH model were used to arrive at conclusion. The results of study showed that the prices of wheat were higher in the months from March to August in all selected markets. The cyclical variation observed in the prices of Wheat in the selected markets. For all selected markets the prices series are free from the consequences of unit ischolar_main and were stationary at first difference. The selected markets show long run equilibrium relationship and co-integration between them. Most of the markets showed bidirectional influence on Wheat prices of each other. Bhopal, Gwalior, Indore and Ujjain recorded low price volatility in wheat prices.

Both market arrivals and prices of wheat have depicted increasing trends in almost all the selected markets of Madhya Pradesh. The present study aimed to study price movement of Wheat i.e. seasonal variation, price volatility and co-integration among the major wheat markets in Madhya Pradesh. For study purpose the data related to monthly average prices and arrivals of Wheat were collected from major markets from different markets in States viz., Bhopal, Gwalior, Indore, and Ujjain for the period 2005- 2016. Moving average method used to study seasonal variation. The econometric tools like ADF test, Johansen's multiple co-integration test, Granger Causality Test and ARCH-GARCH model were used to arrive at conclusion. The results of study showed that the prices of wheat were higher in the months from March to August in all selected markets. The cyclical variation observed in the prices of Wheat in the selected markets. For all selected markets the prices series are free from the consequences of unit ischolar_main and were stationary at first difference. The selected markets show long run equilibrium relationship and co-integration between them. Most of the markets showed bidirectional influence on Wheat prices of each other.
