ABSTRACT
Subject and purpose of work: The study aims to analyse the existing marketing system along with marketing channels, costs, margins, and marketing efficiency. Materials and methods: The study was conducted in the districts of Sirsa, Sonipat and Yamuna
Nagar in Haryana during the year 2020–21. The study was based on primary data collected from a field survey with the help of a pre-tested questionnaire. A simple tabulated method, price spread, and market efficiency analyses were employed. Results: The study revealed that the producer share in terms of consumer rupees is the highest in
Channel VI, followed by Channels IV, V and II. Channel VI is the most efficient channel due to
the absence of intermediaries. Channel I is the least efficient due to the greatest number of
intermediaries present in this channel. Conclusions: The study has suggested that the government should regulate the fruit trade so that
the involvement of mediators in the fruit market may be reduced. Cold storage should be
provided at a reasonable price. The government should provide transportation facilities
(refrigerated lorries) for fruit products at a reasonable cost.
