The marketing margins obtained by different agencies were ` 158.00, 133.00 and 113.00 in case of channel-II, III and IV respectively. The consumer's price was ` 871.50, ` 852.60 and 846.80 per quintal in case of respective channels. The marketing charges, margins and the consumers had purchased price were highest in channel-II followed by channel-III and channel-IV.
