The study has analysed the marketing structure, marketing channels, producer's share, marketing margins and marketing efficiency in the selected fish markets of Tripura. The study has also identified the marketing channels for fish produced locally and fish brought in from other states. The marketing efficiencies have been found to vary from 51 per cent to 88 per cent, depending upon the length of marketing channel. The marketing efficiency is higher for fish produced locally than for fish brought in from other states. The fisher's share in consumer's rupee varies across different marketing channels and is more for fish produced and sold locally. The study has identified the constraints being faced by the fishers in marketing and has suggested some measures for easy operation and regulation of fish marketing in Tripura.
