Historical Perspective
During the seventies, the emphasis shifted to resource productivity, labour employment and farm mechanization, risk management and marketing efficiency. In the eighties, emphasis further shifted to technological changes, yield gap and constraints analysis, input and output marketing, price policy and subsidy issues, farm capital requirements, agricultural development and regional imbalances and management of resources. In the nineties, emphasis further shifted to total agricultural factor productivity, agricultural research investment, technology evaluation and impact assessment, food and nutrition policy. In the year 2000, prespective of the research programme of the department broadened to input-output markets, post-harvest losses and international trade. Currently socio-economic policy research on technology assessment, demand supply scenarios, development of indicators for measurement of sustainability and sharing of global markets are the priority area of research.

5 | Considering the factors of market distance, per quintal marketing cost including transportation , producer share in consumers rupees and marketing efficiency of selected market for ajwain product, Neemuch market (MP) was observed highest in marketing efficiency and producer share in consumer rupees i.e. 3.88 and 79.52, respectively followed by Unjha market(Gujarat) i.e.3.70 and 78.45, respectively and Bhilwara market (Rajasthan) i,e, 3.35 and 77.00, respectively, Shegaon market(MS) i.e.3.25 and 76.45, respectively and Kurnool market (AP) i,e, 3.15 and 75.92, respectively, therefore it is recommended that, farmers should sale their produce to Neemuch market (Madyapredesh), Unjha market (Gujrat) and Bhilwara market Rajasthan as compare to local market to gain better market margin to the farmer. | S.C.Nagpure-PI R.G.Deshmukh-Co- PI S.M.Ghawade -Co- PI
