Overview

Demonstrates supply-price dynamics in Indian agriculture, indicating effects on farmers' earnings and market stability.

Key Points

  • This study aims to understand the supply patterns of tomatoes, onions, and potatoes to analyze their impact on market prices and farmers' earnings.
  • Analyzed AgMarknet data from top five producing states for tomatoes, onions, and potatoes.
  • Examined historical Consumer Price Index for cereal and vegetable crops from January 2011 to July 2024.
  • Investigated supply trends during harvest and lean seasons to assess price-making power.
  • The coefficient variation in the Consumer Price Index for vegetable crops was over 26%, while it was 19% for cereals.
  • Data shows a negative relationship between quantity supplied and prices.
  • Limited access to storage and minimal market control by farmers leads to unequal price-making power.
