PROBLEMS OF MARKETING VEGETABLES
IN FARMERS MARKET
Lack of professionalism and small land holding
• Falling water levels and lack of irrigation facilities
• Lack of market knowledge and marketing skills
• Expensive credit
• Poor infrastructure
• Controlled prices
• Many intermediaries who increase cost but do not add much value
• Laws that stifle private investment
• Inappropriate R&D- agriculture is a state subject, and most states have little funds to invest in vegetable R&D.
