Market Functionaries: (1) Producers
Market Functionaries: (1) Producers
(1) PRODUCERS:
Most farmers or producers, perform one or more
marketing functions. They sell the surplus either in the
village or in the market. Some farmers, especially the
large ones, assemble the produce of small farmers,
transport it to the nearby market, sell it there and make a
profit. This activity helps these farmers to supplement
their incomes.
Frequent visits to markets and constant touch with
market functionaries, bring home to them a fair
knowledge of market practices. They have, thus, an access
to market information, and are able to perform the
functions of market middlemen.
