percentage of India's population live in rural areas and depend on agriculture
and allied activities. A good agricultural production and step-up prices – farm
prices - would put more money in the hands of the people living in the rural

adequate information about what people want, at what price, and who can
supply it. The focus of agricultural growth has been shifted from production
front to the processing and marketing front. The investment in agricultural
marketing system would, therefore, go a long way in making agricultural
sector vibrant and enable it to face the competition of international trade
environment without adversely affecting the livelihoods of those who depend
