Abstract

PurposeThe provision of fair and remunerative prices to farmers through government intervention is one of the key debates to address the farmers' distress in India. This article identifies how different marketing channels are responsible for higher price realization over the officially announced minimum support price (MSP).Design/methodology/approachThe study uses the NSSO-SAS, 2012–13 and NSSO-SAS, 2018–19 for Aggregate level data and Unit Level Data on the Situation Assessment Survey of Farmers' households. It uses logit regression to determine the factors responsible for better price realization.FindingsOur major findings indicate that two factors importantly determine better price realization than MSP. Firstly, government agencies provide better prices for crops covered by MSP, such as paddy, wheat and cotton. However, the probability of receiving higher prices increases for some crops if the farmers belong to the upper land size classes and upper social category. Secondly, jowar, bajra, maize and ragi, other important crops that don't benefit from government agencies, may require higher levels of procurement at the state level.Research limitations/implicationsThe present study only analyzes selected major crops. Distance is an important factor in choosing a marketing channel that is not incorporated due to unavailability in NSS Data.Originality/valueThe study is based on the latest original empirical evidence and sheds light on the variation in price realization in different agricultural marketing channels in India.
农业营销渠道在价格实现中的作用:对印度精选作物的实证分析
通过政府干预为农民提供公平和有报酬的价格是解决印度农民困境的关键辩论之一。本文确定了不同的营销渠道是如何导致比官方宣布的最低支持价格(MSP)更高的价格实现的。本研究采用2012-13年和2018-19年的NSSO-SAS对农户情况评估调查的总层面数据和单位层面数据进行分析。它使用logit回归来确定对更好的价格实现负责的因素。我们的主要研究结果表明,有两个因素重要地决定了比MSP更好的价格实现。首先,政府机构为MSP覆盖的作物提供更好的价格,如水稻、小麦和棉花。然而,如果农民属于较高的土地面积阶级和较高的社会阶层,则某些作物获得较高价格的可能性会增加。其次,乔瓦尔、巴吉拉、玉米和拉吉等重要作物无法从政府机构获益,可能需要在邦一级进行更高水平的采购。研究的局限性/意义本研究只分析了选定的主要作物。在选择营销渠道时,距离是一个重要因素,因为无法获得NSS数据。原创性/价值本研究基于最新的原始经验证据,揭示了印度不同农业营销渠道中价格实现的差异。
