Abstract

This paper makes an attempt to study the magnitude of marketable surplus, determinants of marketed surplus, marketing channels and distress sale of marketed surplus of paddy across the different villages and farm sizes under study. The marketed surplus or marketable surplus as measured in this study is that part of farm output which is put to sale by the farmer irrespective of his home or other requirements. Altogether 474 farm households constituting three categories of farm size (small, medium and large) drawn from three different villages with varied canal irrigation status of three different blocks of Bargarh district of Odisha state have been considered for the study.  The results derived from the analysis reveals that mostly the marketable surplus is positively influenced by the size of output and nature of market for selling it. The informal marketing channel is more active in the area and formal (regulated market) are mostly beneficial to higher farm sizes. Hence Distress sale takes place despite several policies of the government. Hence, a revamped strategy for paddy marketing is suggested.
