Abstract:
Agriculture continues to be main stay in India as more than 48% of its population is dependent on agriculture and it contributes around 13 percent to the National GDP. The agricultural production has increased over the years leading to increase in marketable surplus. Until India became self-sufficient, marketing of agricultural produce was not a challenge. However, the major challenge, especially after the year 2000 has been to find a market for the surplus and getting remunerative prices. Remunerative prices are going to be the incentive for farmers to produce more and it is going to be deciding factor for acreage for the next season. Agriculture sector, unfortunately due to several issues such as small holdings, low price realization and lack of investment is no longer alucrative enterprise.
