Abstract

In agriculture, marketing of agricultural produce is very important factor to get income for farmers. Krishi Upaj mandi or regulated markets are very important in marketing of agricultural produce. In Madhya Pradesh there are 538 regulated markets of which 256 are main wholesale market (Krishi Upaj Mandi) and 282 submarket yards. The study was conducted from 2013–14 to 2018–19 by collecting secondary data from all the selected mandi. The simple method of percentage and correlation was used for analyzing the primary and secondary data. Mostly the tabulation method was used in summarized data to examine the relationship between total Income and total arrivals and Comparison of Income, Expenditure and Arrivals of all the selected 16 mandies of Chambal division during 2013–14 to 2018–19. Study shows that overall correlation coefficient between total income and total arrivals of mandi was moderately positive i.e. 0.67 which imply moderately positive relationship (increase in income due to increase in arrivals) between income and arrivals of all the selected 16 mandies during 2013–14 to 2018–19.
