Question

Agricultural Marketing refers to the farmer's Act of bringing their products to the
market for sale. Is the statement correct.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, the statement is sort of correct. Agricultural marketing is inferred to cover the services involved in moving an agricultral product from the farm to the consumer. It is also the planning, organizing, directing and handling of agricultural produce in such a way as to satisfy the farmer, producer and the consumer. Farmers frequently consider marketing as being their major problem. However, while they are able to identify such problems as poor prices, lack of transport and high post-harvest losses, they are often poorly equipped to identify potential solutions. Successful marketing requires learning new skills, new techniques and new ways of obtaining information. Extension officers working with ministries of agriculture or NGOs are often well-trained in horticultural production techniques but usually lack knowledge of marketing or post-harvest handling.
