Description |
The improved technologies in Indian agriculture have brought about rapid increases in the productivity level of fruit crops. This has generated new problems in marketing of which adequate attention has not been paid eventhough it has been recognized that the solution for these problems is a requisite condition for agricultural prosperity. The quality of fruit produce brought to the market by the farmer varies considerably from lot to lot. The variation in quality is due mainly to the differences in varieties, insect and pest damages, methods and time of harvesting and agro-climatic factors. It is therefore, highly essential to grade the produce which brought to the market on scientific base in order to get remunerative prices. Scientific grading should be based on important test factors so that the sellers would be able to describe the quality that they are offering and the buyers should understand what is being offered. The primary information was collected and used in the study. Mango, sapota and banana samples were collected from Dharwad and Hubli fruit market during the crop year of 2004-05. The total sample size is 60, for each fruit crop, two leading varieties were selected. The stepwise multiple regression analysis to study the eye-sight grades, price, quality and non-quality factors determining the prices of fruit crops was employed. It was necessary to give appropriate weightage to each one of these qualitative variable required for the development of grade standards for the selected fruit crops. It is evident and strongly suggested from the study that eye-sight grading be replaced by scientific grading |
