A Study on the Variability in Market Arrivals and Prices of Potato in Some Selected Markets of Odisha
Abstract
For providing basic dietary nutrition, horticultural crop plays an important role. Although the area under horticulture and production increased over years, the price variability of some valuable crops like potatoes leads to create negligible confidence among farmers. So, the paper tries to find the actual behaviour of price and quantity of market arrivals of Potatoes from the year 2010 to 2020. During the study period, the arrivals of products to the market show a negative growth rate over the months due to a lack of storage facilities, but prices show positive growth over the months. Seasonal indices show that the price behaves inversely to the quantity of arrivals over months. But the responsiveness of price to quantity is very negligible due to the perishable nature of potato crops. It is also found that the sample markets are not highly integrated up to the mark which makes a competitive environment.
