$\huge\mathbb{\pink{Answer ♡ }}\star{}$

Agricultural marketing is a specific part of marketing. It is related to agricultural products only. It is the base of most of the economic activities of a country. It brings marketable surplus to the market for sale. Farmers will keep a portion of their produce for self-consumption and cattle and the remaining portions are left for sale. Higher level of marketable surplus leads to greater economic development. The importance of agricultural marketing is as follows:

1. Provides raw materials for industries.
2. Provides foodgrains for the entire population and fodder for cattle.
3. Provides a base for expansion of internal market of a country.
4. Helps in the expansion of international market also when marketable surplus found in excess of the demand of a country, fetches a considerable amount of foreign exchange.

At present, most of the farmers sell their produce through village level markets, fairs, mandies; co-operative societies and government also purchases agricultural produce direct from farmers.
