“…Price variations are substantial, although they are more or less steady throughout and within the market as opposed to arrival. In the harvesting or post-harvesting season (February-March), seasonal indices are high for arrival and low for the price, and the reverse is true in the lean season as also reported by Kundu et al (2019). Price fluctuation is considerable in both within and between years, and the current prices are inversely associated with arrivals.…”

The oscillations in prices and arrivals of agricultural goods are primarily influenced by the seasonal character of the agricultural production system. Here, we investigate the trends and seasonal price dynamics concerning market arrivals of tomatoes in West Bengal, India. Monthly data on arrivals and prices of tomatoes were collected between 2013-14 and 2019-20. Both the ordinary least square and the twelve-month moving average techniques were employed to identify the long-term trends and seasonal variations in price and arrival patterns. The market arrivals exhibit negative trends in three markets, except for Barasat and Bardhaman, where the observed values are not statistically significant. However, the lone market in Diamond Harbour shows a positive and significant trend in arrivals. Regarding current prices, all markets, except for Chakdah and Siliguri, exhibit positive and significant trend. Seasonality is more prominent in market arrivals than the price for all the markets. Results suggest the variability in arrivals is proportional to the number of arrivals in the market, in turn, larger arrivals lead to higher variability. Price variations are substantial and exhibit relative stability both within and across markets, unlike arrivals which show more fluctuation. Price fluctuations are significant not only within a given year but also between different years. Additionally, an inverse relationship between current prices and market arrivals suggest as arrivals increase, prices tend to decrease and vice versa. The study provides new insights into the trends in market arrivals and seasonal price dynamics of tomatoes in West Bengal, eastern India.

“…The main problem farmers face is the low price at the farm level due to the nature of vegetables which have a relatively short lifespan and are easily damaged. Productivity and production levels of vegetable crops depend on different climatic factors [3]. So, it needs to be easily damaged and cannot be stored for too long if it is not explicitly treated so that the vegetables produced by farmers must be quickly sold to consumers, but in general, farmers as producers experience several obstacles such as a lack of information and relationships to distribute vegetable products to urban areas far from rural farms [4][5][6] [5,6]There are also several problems, such as traders producing asymmetric information that benefits traders, excess production and supply of similar products in the same season, and the absence of market linkages, which will increase production and lower prices [7].…”

Market dominance, widely fluctuating prices, and demand patterns make small producers vulnerable to market forces and increase the risk of income uncertainty. Identifying and describing vegetable marketing channels and marketing functions performed by marketing agencies, it is necessary to analyze the efficiency of vegetable marketing channels. The research method used was a survey method by conducting 35 samples of farmers who farmed three commodities, namely large chilies, cabbage, and chinese cabbage—selected snowball sampling method for marketing agencies. The data analysis used is marketing channel analysis, marketing margin analysis, farmer's share, and marketing efficiency. The research results show that there is only one marketing channel pattern, namely farmers - collectors - wholesalers - retailers - consumers. Moreover, in every sales transaction, the market power rests with the wholesalers as price makers. Several functions include purchasing and selling parts and facility functions carried out by farmers and marketing in the marketing system. Even though the market structure is one-sided because market forces are more vital at the wholesalers, marketing from Kerinjing Village to the Jakabaring Palembang wholesale market has proven effective based on market margins, profit margins, and farmer's share. Comprehensive government support policies to build linkages between small producers and the larger market. With state policies such as building access roads, facilitating farmers in accessing market information,
