AGRICULTURE MARKETING

Essentially, the Indian agriculture can be considered as an enterprise with two distinct components- Production and Post-Production activities. With respect to agricultural production, India has not only become self-sufficient in terms of food production, but it has also emerged as a net exporter of agricultural products. However, the post-production activities of Indian agriculture have not kept pace with the production related activities. The quantities of marketable surplus have multiplied by almost 10 times during the last 50 years. However, the agriculture marketing infrastructure continues to remain out-dated.
