INTRODUCTION
• During last 50 years emphasis was given on PRODUCTION-LED EXTENSION (PLE)
• India become self reliant on food production.
• But the farmers at individual level are not realizing remunerative prices for their produce.
• They prone to sell their produce “AS IS WHERE” basis.

Why Need Conversion of P-L-E into M-L-E?
• 90% of effort is Production oriented.
• Only 10% on Marketing/Post harvest phases.
• Farmer share in consumer price is low about 25-30%

To achieve this, The questions confronting the farmers are
What to produce ? When to produce ?
How much to produce? When and where to sell ?
At what price to sell? In what form to sell
