Agricultural Markets – Concept, Classification, and More<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n

What are Agriculture Markets?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\n

Agricultural marketing mainly involves selling and buying agricultural products. Earlier, when the economy of the village was somewhat self-sufficient, agricultural product marketing seemed easier since the farmers sold their produce to the consumer on a barter or cash basis.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Today, agricultural marketing undergoes a series of transfers or exchanges from person to person before it reaches the consumer. Three marketing functions are involved in this \u2013 preparation for consumption, assembling, and distribution.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Classification of Agricultural Markets<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\n

Agricultural markets can be broadly categorized into the following \u2013<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00bb Wholesale Markets<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\r\n

Wholesale markets sell the goods to the retailer. A wholesaler receives goods in abundance from the manufacturers and distributes the same to different stores, from where consumers purchase the products<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wholesale markets can again be subdivided into \u2013<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Primary Markets \u2013 <\/strong>These markets are held periodically, usually once or twice a week (e.g. \u2013 village markets). The agricultural produce comes from nearby villages. These markets sell food grains, vegetables, fruits, and other household requisites.<\/span><\/li>\r\n
  2. Secondary Markets \u2013 <\/strong>Popularly known as \u2018mandis\u2019, these markets are located at a taluka headquarter or districts. Small, marginal merchants purchase agricultural produce from the primary markets and sell in the secondary markets. Some cultivators even sell their products directly in these markets. Each secondary wholesale market covers an area of about 10-12 miles (e.g. \u2013 taluka or district markets).<\/span><\/li>\r\n
  3. Terminal Markets \u2013 <\/strong>These markets are located at a central site, usually in a big city\/state that serves as an assembly and trading point for commodities. Terminal wholesale markets are usually seen near or at major transportation hubs.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    \u00bb <\/strong><\/span>Retail Markets<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\r\n

    Retail markets are spread all across the town\/city subject to municipal control. Generally, these markets deal in all forms of produce and cater to the needs of the urban people as well as of the villagers. Specific retail markets are located in specific localities. For example \u2013 vegetables and grains are sold in one locality, while clothes are sold in another locality. The goods or products are sold directly to the consumers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    \u00bb <\/strong><\/span>Fairs<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\r\n

    Fairs are usually held at pilgrim centers on auspicious, religious occasions. These markets deal in agricultural produces, livestock, etc. For example \u2013 the Magh Mela held in Allahabad.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
