Abstract

                                In 1928, the Royal Commission on Agriculture in their report, portrayed vividly the disabilities under which the producer was labouring and the exploitation to which he was exposed to, in an unorganised and uncontrolled system of marketing agricultural produce. Subsequently the Banking Enquiry Committee and the Provincial Economic Conference of 1934 laid stress in their reports the necessity for taking up with immediate effect n programme of intensive development of organised marketing of agricultural produce including livestock products, so as to help the farmer to secure his due share of the price paid by the consumer.
