Agriculture Marketing to Play Role in National Growth

A country's gross national product and the net national product go up when agricultural marketing operations add value to the product.

FREMONT, CA: Marketing in the agricultural sector is vital to the economy's expansion since it drives increased output and consumption. Its dynamic capabilities are essential to fostering economic expansion. It has been called "the most powerful multiplier of agricultural progress" because of its effect.

The following paragraphs elaborate on why agricultural marketing is important for national growth:

Growth in Markets: Product sales can be increased by distributing them to far-flung regions, both domestically and internationally, through a well-coordinated marketing structure. The market's growth ensures that the producer's income will continue to rise with the rising demand.

Management of Inputs for Maximum Efficiency: A well-developed agricultural marketing system achieves the most efficient use of inputs and control over output. A well-thought-out marketing plan can help disperse the current stock of contemporary inputs, speeding up the growth of the agricultural enterprise. It is possible to increase the amount of surplus sold by improving the marketing system and cutting down on waste in the processing, storage, and transportation phases.

Farm Income Rises: An effective marketing system guarantees a higher income for farmers by decreasing the number of mediators or minimizing the commission on marketing services and the malpractices they utilize in promoting farm products. An efficient system guarantees that farmers receive fair compensation for their goods and encourages them to reinvest their profits in technological advances that will increase their farms' output per unit of input. The farmers' surplus and income from sales go up as a result. Without a readily available market for surplus goods, a producer will have no incentive to increase output. Therefore, providing sufficient incentives for increased output is crucial, which can be achieved only by improving the marketing system's efficiency.

Industrialization of Agricultural Products: The growth of agro-based businesses and the economy's expansion benefit from an improved agriculture marketing system. A wide variety of manufacturing processes rely on agricultural products as inputs.

Adoption and Spread of New Technology: The marketing system helps farmers since it makes learning and employing cutting-edge technologies more manageable. More money needs to be spent on new technologies, and farmers will only do that if they know, there will be a demand for their produce.

Employment: The marketing system provides millions of jobs in packaging, transportation, storage, and processing. Commission agents, brokers, traders, retailers, weighmen, hamals, packagers, regulators, and so on are all part of the marketing system's workforce. Many people also supply goods and services within the marketing system.
