Indian economy significantly relies on upon horticulture and India positions second worldwide in
homesteads yield. In India, the horticulture segment possessed just about 43 percent of India's
land territory and two third of aggregate job relies on upon farming and it gained around 17
percent of India's GDP. Agribusiness is a contributing for financial development of Indian
ranchers and producers. The Green Revolution accompanied the intend to advance the
agribusiness in India.
Because of poor advertising hones, the advancement of the vegetable business is restrained; there
is an expansive rupture amongst ranchers and retail costs. The part of vegetables is extremely
huge underway and showcasing for Indian ranchers and producers and it is fills in as an
impacting power in the economy. The retailing of vegetables is a low edge business, the business
sector imminent is huge in India and this has immersed numerous corporate into this segment.
Advertising of horticultural items is distinctive and more perplexing than numerous mechanical
items due to different reasons like perishability, regularity and massiveness. The extraordinarily
way of little size of area property by the ranchers, capricious climatic circumstances, creation
increment over wide land region, centralization of horticulture in remote towns, an extensive
variety of utilization examples of the Indian shoppers and a poor logistics and Supply Chain
Management (LSCM) makes showcasing for leafy foods considerably more troublesome.
Amongst this, new vegetables are dependably in the consistent interest by the shoppers.
Subsequently SCM assumes a basic part in promoting foods grown from the ground. Inventory
network administration not just aides in developing the creation and per capita utilization,
additionally helps in financial advancement of the nation. In spite of the fact that it is extremely
testing, SCM additionally achieves heaps of chances in showcasing vegetables. A powerful
Supply chain, not just builds the gainfulness and productivity of retailers, additionally enhances
diverse partners like cultivators (agriculturists), consolidators and purchasers.
This study endeavors to recognize different issues required in running the store network for
various vegetables and look at changed procedures that can be connected for its streamlining.

cultivars and FI cross breeds and has added to higher generation and profitability. Lately, per
capita utilization has likewise increased from 95 gram to 175 gram for every day. More than 40
sorts of vegetables which have a place from unique gatherings, particularly cucurbits, Cole
harvests, solanaceous, root and verdant vegetables are developed in various agro-climatic
circumstances of the nation. But a couple, similar to brinjal (egg plant), colocasia, cucumber,
edge gourd, wipe gourd, pointed gourd and so forth., the various vegetables have been presented
from abroad.

1.2 Supply Chain Management
As described by the Institute of Supply Management Inc., USA, Supply Chain Management is
the design and management of flawless, value added process to gather the real need of end
consumer across organizational boundaries. Proper planning and management are the key
essentials of the supply chain management and its processes i.e. sourcing and procurement,
conversion and arranging all the logistics management activities. Most critical part is to maintain
the chain with suppliers, intermediaries, third party services, channel partners, providers, and
customers during coordination and collaboration.
The objective is to make a strong bridge between supply chain and demand management within
and across companies. It comprises all of the logistics management events noted above as well as
manufacturing operations and it drives organization of processes and activities with across
marketing, sales, product design, and finance and information technology. In the present
competitive environment, there is the additional pressure to become more socially and
environmentally responsible and handle risk which needs to be mitigated and managed. There
are lot of complications created by ever rising customer requirement and expectations, the
pressure on cost, availability and access to resources. Management is anticipated to perk up
profitability, increase revenue growth and capture and protect larger market share. In order to
succeed in achieving the guarantee benefits, management must recognize that the ultimate
success of an organization depends on the ability to assimilate the company’s network of
business relationships.

Mobile: 7753818181, 9838033084

The management of this category of relationships is supply chain management. Effective supply
chain management entails cross – functional integration within the firm and crossways the
system of businesses that comprise the supply chain. Better management of the key relationship
is to focus on the improvement of performance.
Supply Chain Management is the coordination and harmonization of material, information and
financial flows among all the contributing organizations, so as to confirm that the right product is
in the correct place, at the correct price, at the correct time, in the correct condition and to the
correct customer. Supply Chain Management shows a significant role in marketing of goods and
services. “It is always stock supply that suffer and not the individual businesses” – is a well
recognized and globally proved saying. Every business plans to decrease costs, which do not sum
to maintain and improve the worth of goods and services brought. In this direction, supply chain
has played crucial role across the world in various sectors. Supply Chain Management is not only
helps to cut costs, but also adds to sustain and enhance the excellence of goods and services
delivered.
The supply chain for vegetables can be defined in the following way: the manufacturer who
processes the food for ready to eat or cook are the first stage, the packaging companies are in the
intermediate stage, and the retailer, Middlemen and caterers are in last stage of supply chain and
the cost of profit is part of business. The vegetable items can go to final consumer from any of
the three stages, from farmers to caterers straight from the manufacturer, and finally from the
retailers to the consumers. In Lalitpur district there is most common supply chain management
used for supply of vegetables as follows:
Producer – local middlemen – commission agent – Middlemen – retailer – consumer
Supply of vegetables in market, is a process of delivery from manufacturers (First stage) with the
help of packaging companies (Intermediate stage), whole sellers, to retailers, and caterers (the
last stage). Consumer receives final products from any of the three last stages. Profit is included
cost of processing.

1.3 mechanism of supply chain management
1.3.1 Production: Production is an initial segment of any item and administrations, in the
agribusiness, creation menas finding the outcome from area or information. Creation shows that
how to delivered, what amount delivered, the amount of material ought to attractive and what
amount promoted. The living standard of the ranchers made by a decent and ideal creation from
the record.
1.3.2 Inventory: it is the primary issues of the ranchers this chooses where to store their item and
the amount to store (make to arrange versus make to stock, merged versus Break mass, area).
1.3.3 Distribution/Logistics: These locations on how the items ought to be put away in the
stockroom and moved starting with one place then onto the next (For instance: Logistics
techniques own armada versus 3PL).
1.3.4 Payments: Take consideration of the most ideal approaches to pay suppliers and get the
installments from clients. Additionally it settles on the estimating approaches (evaluating,
advancement and rebates and so on).
1.4 Basic Concept of Vegetables Supply Chain
To satisfy the client arrange, the idea of vegetables production network alludes to the exercises
of acquisition, request satisfaction, conveyance, conveyance and client administration actualized
by two or more particular associations in the agroindustry business. Vegetables store network
comprises of little and medium ventures, for example, ranchers and crude material makers,
merchants of agrarian inputs, processors of rural preparations, agriculturists co-agents, dealers,
suppliers, wholesalers, Middleparty and retailers that tends to work autonomously or in co-
operation, chiefly in the later phases of production network.
In advertising products of the soil, which are perishable in nature, Supply Chain assumes an
extremely pivotal part. The immense misfortunes of foods grown from the ground that the nation
Phone: 0512-2328181
Mobile: 7753818181, 9838033084

bears are chiefly on account of the absence of an appropriate framework for capacity and
transportation which is at any rate decently sorted out.
Due the expanded effect of globalization, Supply Chain Management is picking up
noteworthiness and this is imperative to beat the aforementioned issue. An inventory network
comprises of three or more associations substance associated specifically by one or a greater
amount of the downstream or upstream streams of administrations, funds, items, and data from a
source to a customer. Store network administration authorizes an inventory network introduction,
and incorporates proactively running the two-way development and merchandise sco-
appointment, administrations, material and assets (i.e. the different streams) from crude material
to the end client. The changing way of life and uncovered economy have constrained the makers
and suppliers to deliver and supply superb items.
1.5 major activity of Vegetables supply Chain
1.5.1 Purchasing: Most associations involve buying as a noteworthy production network action
since it being the focal core interest.
1.5.2 Quality control: Almost all associations recognize the significance of supplier quality and
the need to set off as opposed to simply basically see the quality glitches. Dynamic associations
work specifically with suppliers to create appropriate quality control methodology, occasions and
procedures.
1.5.3 Demand and supply arranging: Demand arranging figures the interest, inventories changes,
tracks orders taken yet not filled and oversees additional part and reseller's exchange
prerequisites. The procedure of taking the interest information and developing a supply,
generation, and logistics system fit for fulfilling request prerequisites is called Supply arranging.
1.5.4 Material or stock control: The material gathering is regularly in charge of deciding the
stock level of finished merchandise which are required to bolster client/customer and business
sector necessities, the security stocks, which accentuate on the physical dissemination

1.5.5 Order handling: Order preparing ensures that client get material when and where they
require it. It means an association between the maker and the outer customer.
1.5.6 Production arranging, booking and control: Production arranging, planning and control
incorporate recognizing a period based timetable and creation, growing transient generation
calendars and controlling the working generation.
1.5.7 Warehousing/appropriation: It is imperative for organizations that make as indicated by an
estimate in desire of future deals.
1.5.8 Customer administration: Customer administration has a differed set of exercises that keeps
a client fulfilled and enchanted with an item or administration. This is not exceptionally surely
understood in vegetables and organic products store network.
1.6 Marketing Channels
Ranchers creating agrarian produce are spread in remote towns while customers are in semi-
urban and urban regions. This produce needs to achieve customers for its end use and utilization.
There are distinctive offices through which this produce passes and achieves the buyer. A
business sector channel or channel of sharing is consequently characterized as a way followed in
the immediate or backhanded exchange of ownership of an item as it moves from a maker to a
last shopper or mechanical client. In this way, a channel of conveyance of an item is the route
taken by the responsibility for as they move from the maker to the purchaser or mechanical
client.
1.6.1 Few Factors disturbing the channels
There are various channels of conveyance relying on sort of product or produce. Every item
aggregate has to some degree different channel. The components are:

1 Huge and weighted – cotton, foods are cumbersome yet light in weight.
2 Storage offices.
3 Feeble or vigorous promoting office.
4 Distance amongst maker and shopper, whether it is a neighborhood market or a far off
business sector.
1.7 Channels for Vegetables
2. Producers–consumer (town deal)
3. Producer–retailer–consumer (nearby deal)
4. Producer–Trader–commission agent–retailer–consumer.
5. Producer–commission agent–retailer–consumer
6. Producer–primary Middlemen–secondary Middlemen– retailer– purchaser (removed business
sector).
1.8 Important central points of inventory network administrationin vegetables
marketing
1 Reduction in item misfortunes in transportation and capacity – when we sold and transport
the vegetable in the business sector and goes out vegetable by the vehicle, so there is less
posiblities to harm the vegetable material amid transportation. Some kind of perishable
vegetables requersd to early offering in the business sector, yet this is additionally an
administration that how to sold the vegetable before wastage. So the store network system help
to protaction of vegetable amid of transportation and safe transportation produce the salary of
vegetable cultivators.
2 Increasing of offers – really production network administration backing to giving the
vegetable on time, giving the crisp vegetables, and rich vegetables as per necessity of purchaser
and others. Purchasers lean toward new and clean vegetables in the business sector. Store
network strategy gave the new and clean vegetable in business sector. So the store network
expands the business estimation of vegetable in the business sectors.

3. The store network helps in circulation of innovation starting with one then onto the next spot
because of is necessities. Exchange of innovation is additionally backing to expand the liveng
standard of vegetables cultivators, really is likewise a dynamic procedures for amplification of
offers of vegetables that how to enhance benefit, how to develop the vegetable on shuitable spot
as per its necessity and how to opportune supply may be conceivable. Innovation of vegetable
generation additionally ensures the capital of vegetable cultivators and gives the number of the
data among chain joins.
4. Supply chain administration gave the better data about the vegetable business sector for
vegetables cultivators and stream of items with the shuitable costs of vegetables, markets and
advances is a vital part of any business. So the inventory network administration helps in the all
procedure of vegetables business.
5. Suplly affix took after and plotting to the source. It helps ideal yield in alarm assets. Because
of vegetables generation, ranchers face numerous difficultied and issues yet after that they didn't
earned adequate benefit. Orderly store network gave the assets data as commercial center, market
proficiency, market cost and market interest and all of exercises are identified with agriculturists'
creation and development.
6. Better control on item, its security and quality as of late after some mindfulness more
consideration is being devoted to build the vegetables and organic product creation and
profitability. This is being actualized through accident software engineers, crisis and connected
developers, for this great seeds, better watering system offices, learning of enhanced methods of
development, appropriate plant security measures quick transport and great storerooms are being
made accessible through these projects.
7. Big ventures and dangers potential outcomes are shared among accomplices/relationship in the
chain in light of the fact that there are numerous danger and uncertainity in vegetable creation
because of perishability. In the event that we utilized the chain, so probability of danger might be
less and its danger esteem partitioned into each individual whom interfacing in the inventory
network.

1 Supply chain expanded efficiencies and expanded the volume of vetetable business sector. It
is the best availability from the purpose of creation to shopper fulfillment.
2 Customer fulfillment
3 Handling of perishable products.
1.9 Importance of the study
"Low Working Capacity" is one reason of low horticultural generation in India which is seen in
the lion's share of populace. Present eating regimen of a normal Indian is extremely not all
around adjusted or oversaw. For the most part comprises of for the most part oats. On a normal
the greater part of the Indians devours 375 grams of oats, and just 30 grams of vegetables every
day, as contrasted and 328 grams of oats, 316 grams of vegetables and 362 grams of natural
products in cutting edge nations. For parity eat less carbs the dietitians instruct the utilization
with respect to no less than 200 grams of green vegetables and 150 grams of root vegetable every
day. In this way to adjusted and enhance our eating routine, we ought to fundamentally expand
the vegetable generation and along these lines the utilization.
At present, over a zone of 320 million sections of land, more than 70 % of our populace is
occupied with Agriculture. Out of this lone around one to two rate of the aggregate horticulture
region is under vegetable yields. In view of these figures the need of vegetable development on
bigger region is required.
4. The yield-of vegetable product is around 5 to 10 times more than of oats on a normal; they are
snappy developing and shorter length. In this manner the time has come to take up the more
thorough and numerous vegetable trimming in India.
5. Recently after some mindfulness more consideration is being committed to build the
vegetables and organic product generation and efficiency. This is being actualized through
accident software engineers; crisis and connected developers, for this great seeds, better watering
system offices, learning of enhanced strategies of development, legitimate plant assurance

Mobile: 7753818181, 9838033084

measures quick transport and great storerooms are being made accessible through these projects.
Phone: 0512-2328181
Mobile: 7753818181, 9838033084

a. As learning is spreading in our nation individuals comprehend the nutritious significance of
vegetable in every day diet which results in expanding interest for vegetable in our nation.
b. New watering system ventures development helps us in lifting watering system plan and
group well, watering system offices which rise territory and generation of vegetable.
c. Due to increment in compost commercial enterprises and their ability of assembling, there is
parcel of degree for vegetable creation.
d. Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, National Seed Corporation of India and
Agricultural Universities of nation are disseminating clean seeds of upgraded qualities and
assortments of various vegetable in all a player in nation.
e. Due to accessibility of chilly storeroom (in some parts of nation) it will feasible for ranchers
to keep their items alright for quite a while in the wake of collecting.
f. The auto-ruck is likewise making it workable for a vegetable maker to exploit offering his to
item to far off business sectors.
g. When there is colossal creation of any vegetables, the value rates in business sector descend
for that vegetable. Actually agriculturist does not get more pay because of this, but rather
through conservation, cultivators can get more costs.
Along these lines there is limitless extension for vegetable development, development,
acquirement and showcasing which will streamline the inventory network administration.
1.10 About the study
We studies in the first chapter, results of production and area analysis of tomato, brinjal, potato,
onion, okra, bottle gourd, torai and cauliflower. These results are obtained by applying number
of analytical techniques using primary as well as secondary data for defining the production of
selected vegetables. Chapter is organized in the following sections. Results include broader view
of vegetable production in Jhansi division and its area production environment and
Phone: 0512-2328181
Mobile: 7753818181, 9838033084

socioeconomic characteristics of selected vegetable farmers and other market agencies
production forecasts.
Jhansi division is one of the under residential division of Uttar Pradesh. Its financial activities are
highly depending on primary behavior, which are much immature and unmethodical and mainly
affected by primitive culture and poor economic environment. This chapter examines the pattern
and trends of vegetables growth in Jhansi division of Uttar Pradesh. The present chapter also
deals with the growth rates for revenue expenditure in vegetables at state level and real district
expenditure at district level and area, production and productivity of vegetables and non-
vegetables crops. The chapter is divided into two sections. Section first presented the brief
introduction of the chapter and examines the area, production and yield of different vegetables
crop in Jhansi division. And section second study the pattern and trends of selected vegetables
growth.
In the second chapter of this thesis, we discussed about price spread of selected vegetable. There
are many channels and chain were founded during study, they were
Vegetable maker
Vegetable development is completed by a substantial number of producers who are geologically
scattered in different areas in Mehroni, Birdha, and Jakhora. Tomato and potato is generally
created in Lalitpur region, while Onion is basically delivered in all piece of area.
Commission operator
Commission operators act amongst venders and purchasers. The principle capacity of the
commission operator is to unite purchasers and venders. The keep up contacts with between
provincial wholesale markets and Possess extensive and exact data. They play out their exercises
on bonus premise. They don't acknowledge any title of products, while basically offering the
produce brought by makers and contractual workers. They have their shops in business sector
having phone and different offices.

Retailers
Phone: 0512-2328181
Mobile: 7753818181, 9838033084

All business sector exercises arrive at an end with the retailers. Retailer purchases and offers
little amounts of item as per the interest of customers in the range. Retailers keep up contacts
with customers and make exchanges. Retailers have two sorts of offering, few have their little
shops in utilization ranges and others are programmers having wooden trucks. In retailers high
level of rivalry was noted.
Inventory network relationship
The institutional relationship over the business sector performers in production network of
vegetables has been researched taking after the standards and strategies set down in the New
Institutional Economics (NIEs). The relationship over these on-screen characters in vegetable
promoting was guided by the essential thought process of benefit yet included monetary
exchange also; like each functionary stretched out advances to the prompt supplier of the item to
get supplies. This sort of plan is characterized as interlocking arrangement of exchanges in the
writing of New Institutional Economics (NIEs). Khan (1994) found that interlocking game plans
were regular and more concentrated in farming division in Pakistan. The present study
discovered four kind of taking after connections/exchanges in vegetable promoting framework in
Sindh-Pakistan.
d. Producers and Assemblers
e. Producers/Assemblers and Commission Agents
f. Commission Agents and Middlemens
g. Middlemens and Retailers
h. Commission specialists and Middlemens
Exchanges between commission specialists and Middlemens were exceptionally straightforward
and straightforward. It began when Middlemens acquired these vegetables and reimbursed the
extraordinary sum with in maybe a couple weeks. For this situation the exchanges were not
interlocked and the Middlemens were will undoubtedly buy the items from that specific
commission specialist. It demonstrated that Middlemen had much opportunity of decision in buy.
This environment appeared to be more focused.

Middlemens and retailers
The terms and states of exchange amongst Middlemens and retailers were the same as were in
commission operators and Middlemens. Regularly, every mediator managed 12-15 retailers,
where retailers used to buy the item from the Middlemen and paid that sum back with in a few
days. The exchanges amongst Middlemens and retailers were not expressly interlocked but rather
the retailers uncovered that they were ethically obliged to keep up business associations with the
individuals who gave them items on credit. Further, these connections over the business sector
delegates required in onion, potato, cauliflower, brinjal and tomato business were characterized
by breaking down/evaluating the edges acknowledged by them.
The third chapter presents that relationship between production and marketed surplus has been
pursued at two levels i.e. at micro level (based on primary data) and at macro level (based on
secondary data). Micro level is based on the basis of a sample study which consists of 114
vegetables growers. The data was arranged according to the land holdings and classified into
marginal (up to 1.25 acre), small (> 1.25 acre to 2.50 acre) and large (>2.50 acre) categories. The
samples have been taken from irrigated areas of Jhansi and Lalitpur districts. The macro level
analysis is based on year wise data of market arrivals, production and market prices of Jhansi
division with its three districts viz. Jhansi, Lalitpur and Jalaon. For computing the parameter
values, the technique of log linear regression method has been applied.
The study reveals that a large percentage of the produce of vegetables constituted the market
surplus and a very small part was consumed at home. The farmers were interested to cultivate
other crops like wheat, grain and peas because of rich irrigated facility.
Advertising Channels and Sale
The current advertising offices of Vegetables harvest to which the examined ranchers discarded
their surplus produce were observed to be Middlemens and retailers. Some purchaser's buy
specifically from the makers at the town levels along these lines saving money on it and in this
manner spare showcasing costs. Some of the time, the makers specifically take their vegetables
produce to offer to the purchasers. They pay Rs. 10-15/quintal more than the business sector cost

however thusly spare all other advertising costs. Be that as it may, at the times when supply
builds shoppers pay an altogether lesser sum to the makers for their produce.
(I): (P-C): Producer – Consumer
(II): (P-M-R-C): Producer –Middlemen – Retailer – Consumer
The execution of these channels is displayed beneath:
Channel I: Producer – Consumer
It was seen in the present study that makers straightforwardly sold their vegetables maker to
shoppers (expellers, businesspeople and home purchasers) in urban zones.
Channel II: Producer – Middlemen – Retailer – Consumer
The results of the study are that this channel is extremely basic for all classes of agriculturists. In
this channel makers sold their produce to Middlemen and Middlemen sold to retailers and
retailers sold to customers. The end cost of the produce is very high and the maker's offer in the
cost paid by the purchaser has been watched entirely low. This infers the benefit offer of maker
decreased while the purchasers got the vegetables at a higher cost. A lion's share of agriculturists
of all ranch size gatherings liked to offer their produce to Middlemens. Middlemens are
generally the lenders of commission specialists. The charges for administrations like, measuring,
filling, commission and market expense are paid by the Middlemens.
The commission specialists follow up in the interest of the Middlemens. They for the most part
charge commission from the purchasers for their administrations to the ranchers. They offer
administrations, for example, space for emptying, cleaning, sieving, dressing and weighing of the
produce. For the most part they give free tea and night stay offices to the ranchers. Numerous
commission operators offer pesticides; composts, tealeaves, fabric and other every day need
merchandise to the ranchers and in this manner acquire a decent benefit. The ranchers, who
needed cash at certain times to satisfy their every day needs, sold their produce amid the look
time frame with the assistance of this channel.
Final and fourth chapter presented the role of middlemen in during of channel of vegetables

Conclusions, Problems and Suggestions
7.1 Conclusions
The study reveals that the production of tomato in Jalaon district during 2005-05 and 2011-12,
which was highly productive for tomato 55056 metric tons grown in the area of 1155 hectare. In
the same year tomato production was very less in Lalitpur district which was 356 metric tons out
of 12 hectare.
Production in Jhansi zone was 55693 metric tons out of 1174 hectare during 2006-07. If we
focus on brinjal production in Jhansi zone, the highly productive year was 2011-12, during this
year production was 4303 metric tons out of 90 hectare. While Lalitpur was highest productive
for brinjal among three districts during the same year, area was 48 hectare and production was
1527 metric tons. Year 2011-12 was comparatively very rich year for the production of potato,
which was 38774 Metric tons.
Jalaon was at top for tomato during same year. Maximum production of onion quantity 7893
Metric tons out of 525 Hectare, grown in Jalaon District during 2009-10. Okra’s production in
2009-10 was 4457 metric tons out of 309 hectare area in Jalaon District.
2009-10 comparatively less than 2011-12 in respect okra. Bottle guard production in 2007-08
was 855 metric tons out of 31 hectare in Jalaon district. Torai’s production in 2011-12 was 447
metric tons out of 24 hectare in Jalaon District, which was very high in compare of other district.
For the cauliflower Jhansi district was at top in the year of 2011-12, production was 1280 metric
tons out of 62 hectare.
The study also focused on vegetable price spread per quintal. It is observed that on producer
share, producer price, marketing cost, consumer price and marketing efficiency with the help of
different vegetables marketing channels i.e., producer to consumer (P-C) and Producer to
middlemen to Retailer to Consumer (P-M-R-C). This statics has been gathered from 3 block of
district Lalitputr. As well as we found marketing efficiency was zero. On other hand, if producer
will use channel P-M-R-C then producer price will be less as compare to P-C channel. Marketing

cost of P-M-R-C is 8-10 time higher than P-M. Chapter 2 is about relation between production

and marketed surplus. It is figure out that statics on the basis of primary and secondary data.
Primary data says, farmer sells about 95% (of their total production) vegetables into market and
5% takes in home use. As per study 70% of farmer using channel P-M-R-C for sell vegetable and
30% using P-C channel.
According to yearly index table, in 2001 tomato was the vegetable which achieved highest yearly
index Rs. 1052.60 per quintal while market price goes high in 2001. In 2012, Brinjal yearly
index was 173.13 and highest price reached. Rs. 806.51 per quintal in 2011. In 2011, Potato
yearly index was 139.56 and highest market price Rs. 825 per quintal in 2012. Onion yearly
index was 159.02 in 2011 and its highest market price goes up to 892.06 per quintal in same
year. Okra yearly index was 243.28 in year 2012 while its highest market price was 1139.42 per
quintal in 2005. Bottle gourd year index was 152.09 in 2012 and market price was 837.44 per
quintal in year 2010. Torai yearly index was 360.67 in 2012 and highest market price was
1243.54 in same year. Yearly index of Cauliflower was 186.29 in 2012 and highest market price
1110.26 in same year.
Fourth objectives describe about middle man role, in order to that illustrated quantity of
vegetables that had been sold by marginal, small and larger former/producer through middle man
in market.
We observed about 95% larger farm size farmer sold their vegetable through middle man and 70-
80% small size group farmer sold vegetables through middle man.
