respectively.
The major marketing channel in Palghat market for marketing of okra
and tomato were Producer - Commission agent - whole saler - retailer -

Consumer. The producer's net share on consumer's rupee was Rs. 0.60 for okra
and 0.61 for tomato. The index of marketing efficiency was 1.51 for okra and
1.55 for tomato. The analysis of marketing efficiency revealed that the
efficiency of marketing of tomato was higher when compared to okra.
The major constraint faced by vegetable cultivators in the area was the
rising cost of production without a corresponding increase in the returns. A two
pronged strategy aimed at reducing the cost of production and increasing the
returns is the suggested remedial measure. Efforts aimed at smoothening violent
price fluctuations is also called for.
