Question

differentiate between marketable and marketed surplus

Answer 1

Marketable surplus refers to the difference between the total output produced by a farmer and his on-farm consumption. In other words, it is that portion of the total output that the farmer sells in the market.

Marketable surplus = Total farm output produced by farmer – Own consumption of farm output.
Marketed surplus:-

foodgrains is generally recognised 
as one of the most important limiting 
factors in the process of economic de-
velopment which involves the transfer 
of surplus rural labour to non-agri-
cultural investment project

Answer 2
