ABSTRACT
The study was conducted in Alwar and Sri Ganganagar districts of Rajasthan state with objectives to identify the marketing channels, estimate the price spread for the marketing channels and to analyse the constraints in production and marketing of rapeseed-mustard. Primary data were collected from 120 rapeseed-mustard growers spread over in the both districts. Four marketing channels were found in both the districts for disposing the produce, where in the share of producer in the consumer rupee is was higher when they sold their produce directly to processor. Hence, the farmer may be educated to sell their produce directly to the processor to get better price. Lack of technical guidance and non-availability of fertilizer on time were the major problems in production and price information and fluctuations and delayed payments were the major problems in marketing of rapeseed-mustard faced by the farmers.
Key words :
Constraints, marketing channels, price spread, rapeseed-mustard.
