Efficient marketing system is an essential adjunct for increasing oilseeds production and income of the farmers. Therefore, a comprehensive study of the production and marketing of oilseeds is of immense important particularly in view of the present national strategy to bridge the demand -supply gap of edible oils and for the well being of the farmers. Therefore, an attempt has been made in the present study that to assess the production and marketed surplus of rapeseed-mustard crop at farm level and the relationship between marketed surplus and market arrivals; and to evaluate the production and marketed surplus of rapeseed – mustard crop at farm level and relationship between market surplus and market arrivals.
The relationship between production and marketed surplus has been pursued at two levels, i.e., at micro level (based on primary data) and at macro level (based on secondary data). The positive relation shows that, if the market price increases then it would boost up the market arrivals.
