Author(s): Sangamesh Angadi and BL Patil
Abstract: Greengram (Vigna radiata L) belongs to the family Leguminosae and sub-family Papilionaceae. De Candolle (1986) stated that Greengram had been in cultivation in India and Nile Valley since ancient times. The multi-stage random sampling procedure was adopted to choose the sample respondents. Thus, the total sample size selected for the present study was 180. Tabular method of analysis was used in presenting the results of the study. A systematic analysis of costs and margins of various intermediaries involved in marketing of Greengram would help to know the various services rendered by these intermediaries and their economic performance in the marketing of Greengram. The price spread was one of the measures of market efficiency, as it indicated the increase in the price of a commodity and also changed hands from one intermediary to another in the marketing process. The price spread included marketing costs incurred and margins retained by various market functionaries in addition to the costs incurred on marketing of the produce by producer. The marketing costs and margins of different market functionaries were worked out as percentage to consumer’s price for the effective comparison further the price received by producer and paid by the consumer provide the extent of spread in price.
