This book helps readers understand the concepts of marketed and
marketable surplus, as well as the role of the government and
marketing agencies, including those in the private sector, in
improving market efficiency. It also examines the impact of various
socioeconomic, technological, institutional, infrastructure, and
price factors on the marketed surplus of major crops. While Indian
agriculture has become increasingly market-oriented and monetized,
the importance of market orientation of agriculture is also being
recognized at the international level. The proportion of
agricultural production that is marketed by farmers has increased
significantly over the last few decades in India: in the early
1950s, about 30-35 per cent of food grains output was marketed,
which has now increased to more than 70 per cent. In this context,
the marketed surplus is proportionately higher in the case of
commercial crops than subsistence crops. Recognizing its
importance, the Government of India initiated a nation-wide survey
to estimate marketable surplus and post-harvest losses in the early
1970s, which continued up to the late 1990s. As Indian agriculture,
has undergone significant transformation, and no reliable estimates
of marketed and marketable surplus are available, the study was
conducted to estimate the marketed and marketable surplus of major
food crops in leading producing states, and to examine important
factors which determine the level of marketed surplus for various
categories of farms. The results of this study offer a valuable
resource for designing effective food procurement, distribution and
price policies. Further, they provide reliable estimates of
household farm retention pattern for self-consumption, seed, feed,
wages and other payments in kind, which can be used as the basis
for planning infrastructure development of storage and
distribution. This essential information can help policy-makers
determine how much marketed surplus is generated by the different
categories of farmers and how marketable surplus would respond to
changes in diverse economic and non-economic variables, allowing
them to design policies accordingly.
