The study aims to analyze the effects of the Covid-19 lockdown on vegetable marketing in the Amritsar district.
Collected primary data from 190 farmers, 10 wholesalers, and 20 retailers during 2021-22.
Evaluated market changes in prices and availability of vegetables during and after the lockdown.
Assessed marketing efficiency across various channels before and after the lockdown.
Marketing efficiency decreased significantly in channel I, with values of 0.28 for tomato, 0.6 for potato, and 0.38 for onion during lockdown compared to prior values.
Tomato and onion prices declined, whereas potato prices increased due to delayed sowing from heavy rainfall.
Major challenges faced by producers included Covid-related restrictions (86.84%), high labor costs (81.05%), and transportation issues (77.37%).
