Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the effect of facilities and infrastructure available at the market place on a farmer's decision to sell at the market using a comprehensive survey of farmers, markets and villages conducted in Tamil Nadu, India in 2005. The econometric estimation shows that the likelihood of sales at the market increases significantly with an improvement in market facilities and a decrease in travel time from the village to the market. The results suggest that wealth reduces a farmer's cost of accessing market facilities more than it increases her/his opportunity cost of leisure. The wealthy farmers are able to capture a disproportionate share of the benefits of facilities available at congested markets. The policy simulation, however, shows that the marginal benefits from an improvement in market facilities will favor poorer farmers in the context of India.

Download or read book Market and Marketing Efficiency of Vegetable Trading in the Coimbatore District of Tamil Nadu written by B. Swaminathan and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was conducted on wholesale, retail and farmers' markets in Coimbatore to understand market efficiency, marketing efficiency (Shepherd's index) and price spread analysis. This could reveal the existing business opportunities for widening the scope of business or carving out a new business. A snowball type of sampling was adopted and the sample size was restricted to 120. Summary statistics, Garret Ranking technique and Regression analysis techniques were used. The locality of the markets was found to be the most important factor for the conduct of trade as 65.44 per cent vouched for it. About 51.70 per cent expressed satisfaction to the facilities available in the market. But the lack of infrastructure was the major blur as only 35.44 per cent people were satisfied about it. Price spread analysis was done for the commonly available vegetables in the markets: bhendi, potato, tomato and small onion. It revealed that the farmer's share in consumer's rupee was highest in wholesale market (72.23 per cent) followed by farmers' market (66.83 per cent) and retail market (60.33 per cent). The Shepherd's index was more tilted in the favour of farmer's market (3.33) and it was 3.03 and 2.07 in wholesale and retail markets respectively. Market efficiency was measured by marketing cost function of the vegetables. Variation in marketing cost by quantity marketed was found to be very high for small onion with regression co-efficient of 0.91. The marginal value of distance in general was found to be 5.50 and it implied that for every increase in km the marketing cost per quintal of vegetables increased by Rs.5.50. In the case of individual commodities, the marginal value of distance was highest for small onion (9.47) and lowest for tomato (1.42).

Download or read book African Indigenous Vegetables in Urban Agriculture written by Charlie M. Shackleton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-02 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive synthesis of current knowledge of the potential and challenges associated with the multiple roles, use, management and livelihood contributions of indigenous vegetables in urban agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. There has been growing research and policy effort around urban agriculture in the region over the last two decades, but never has it been integrated with work on under-researched crops such as indigenous vegetables. These species have multiple advantages, including low input requirements, adaptability to African environments, high nutritional value and marked biodiversity, cultural and local food security significance. Yet they are overlooked in the modern world, where recent emphasis has been directed to growing a limited range of exotic crops, both for internal markets and for export to developed country markets. This book provides evidence that, in spite of this neglect, in many African cities indigenous vegetables are still widely used, cultivated and marketed. It goes on to consider their potential to contribute to income generation and poverty alleviation of the growing numbers of urban dwellers in sub-Saharan Africa, whilst promoting urban greening and sustainability. Based on critical analysis of the debates it presents a multidisciplinary analysis of the realities and future opportunities.

Download or read book Sustainable Horticulture Development and Nutrition Security Vol 3 written by P. Nath and published by Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 627 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all are indebted to nature for providing us food and its resources for our subsistence and survival. In the food domain, cereal and legume grains occupy the front line, whereas, horticultural crops have occupied the second line of defense. For healthy diet cereals and legumes provide us with carbohydrates and protein, whereas, fruits and vegetables provide us minerals and vitamins. Both macro- and micro- nutrients are essential for human growth and development. The fruits and vegetables are the major source of micro-nutrients. It is estimated that up to 2.7 million lives could potentially be saved each year if fruit and vegetable production was sufficiently increased. Both at national and international levels, food and agriculture/horticulture development plans and estimates are basically developed, framed and implemented, and narrowed down to cereal production. In the present context of attaining nutrition security, this mode of thinking on ‘food’ needs to be changed to ‘nutrients’, which will include necessarily all those crops including fruit and vegetables which provide all macro- and micro-nutrients to ensure balanced nutrition needed for good human health. The present publication has attempted to reflect and discuss the above views and ideas on the subject of sustainable horticulture development and nutrition security in nine chapters with 32 articles by 32 authors.
