1. Firstly, 3 groups were divided and each group was
assigned one teacher 2. We were in the group agronomy department guided by our respected teacher Asst. Professor Dipendra Ayer 3. He gave information about our survey and made a questionnaire 4. After a discussion about the questionnaire we individually visited 1 trader of Gauradha Municipality and collected information regarding our questionnaire 5. Information was collected in the datasheet of the production survey and uploaded into the MS Excel 6. Finally, we prepared the report. As per the instruction given to us by the teacher. RESULT AND DISCUSSIONS : We were able to draw the following results from the marketing survey( New public Krishi Sarkari Sanstha) conducted in ward no. 2 of Gauradha Municipality. 1. Rice New public Krishi Sarkari Sanstha sold 9000kg labeled rice seed last year at the rate of Rs.220 kg Indian and local Rs75 per kg. They purchase it at Rs200 per kg Indian and local Rs70 per kg. Ranjit is the most preferred rice variety in the market and they purchase it from seed companies. Rice seed is in high demand in the month of May but its sale is decreasing due to the Indian market and tax. It is sold on the local market and is mostly preferred by young people.
2. Maize
3600kg labeled maize seed is sold by the New
public Krishi Sarkari Sanstha at the rate of Rs230-900 per kg last year. They purchase it at Rs.210-850perkg.Hybrid is the most preferred variety and it is purchased 90% from India and 10% from Dadeldhura. Its seed is in high demand in the month of November but its sale is decreasing due to the Indian market. 4. Mustard : 150kg labeled mustard seed is sold by New public Krishi Sarkari Sanstha at the rate of Rs.250-380 per kg last year. They purchase it at Rs.250-300 per kg and local as well as hybrid is the most preferred variety in the market and it is purchased from Damak. Its seed is in high demand from Nov- Dec but sales are decreasing due to the Indian market. 5.

Its seed is in high demand from Oct- Nov but sales are decreasing due to the Indian market. Mostly older people prefer this and it is sold on the local market. ● Besides this, We also came to know about the constraints and issues regarding the marketing of these crops. Some of them are given below: 1. High cost of agricultural marketing commodity. 2. Lack of good quality packaging materials. 3. Uncertain risk 4. Low availability of crop seeds to save 5. High market competition and fluctuation in the market due to the open border system 6. Monopoly market system of trader 7. Lack of coordination between agro-dealers and co-operatives. CONCLUSION:
The market survey of Agri enterprise 2079 in the Gauradaha
Municipality shows that the current sales trend is Increasing at certain rates in the market of maize, rice, tomato, and mustard. All the products of rice, maize, and tomato are well labeled & packaged while in the case of mustard it is poor. Rice seed is the product that is sold at the peak level while tomato seeds are at least one. RECOMMENDATION:
The survey's findings reveal some information regarding the
market for several commercial crops farmed in Gauradaha municipality's Ward No. 2. The results imply that if there are enough marketing and training facilities, there are better prospects for traders. If they have an understanding of seasonal markets and the concept to produce processed goods from various agronomical crops, their marketing might be increased. They must use modern technology in place of labor-based trade, and GoN must pay close attention to this. During peak season, packaging that is both effective and accessible must be offered. It is necessary to build cold storage to maintain a good supply both during the season and off. Overall, the survey findings suggest that there is considerable support from the local private and public traders to improve the agricultural market and which has a great chance to assist in our NGDP.
