The government should improve the market system in the country. Market committees  should be reorganized. Market inspectors should check the prices of agricultural products. Strict laws should be introduced. The government should also build new markets near the producing centers. It will enable the farmers to get their proper reward.

The government should increase the amount of road facilities, and rural areas should be linked with local markets. It will enable farmers to sell their product in the market so it can directly go to the hands of consumers. http://studypoints.blogspot.ca/2011/07/what-is-agricultural-marketing-and-what_1661.html

# data[].attributes.body
The middleman also takes a big share of farmer's income without doing anything. A poor farmer borrows the money from them and sells his product at lower rates. http://studypoints.blogspot.ca/2011/07/what-is-agricultural-marketing-and-what_1661.html

# data[].attributes.body
Farmers are not using improved seeds and fertilizers so quality of production is very poor and therefore its prices are low in the market.http://studypoints.blogspot.ca/2011/07/what-is-agricultural-marketing-and-what_1661.html

# data[].attributes.body
It is the main obstacle in the way of efficient marketing. The rural areas are not linked with the market by roads. A lot of agricultural product is wasted due to transport problem. http://studypoints.blogspot.ca/2011/07/what-is-agricultural-marketing-and-what_1661.html

In attempting to differentiate, states able to do so will look towards incorporating their state’s and/or region’s specialty into their program in the hopes of capturing consumer interest. Unfortunately, given awareness and purchasing issues, it may be that not all state programs survive. For instance, Delaware’s program was cancelled during preparation of this article, showing the difficulty in capturing the local foods consumer with a state marketing program. In order to remain competitive in a market saturated with state-specific brands, programs will likely need to adopt quality grading programs to create a sense of value for their brand. http://www.choicesmagazine.org/magazine/article.php?article=112

The cobweb theory suggests prices can become stuck in a cycle of ever-increasing volatility. E.g. if prices fall like in the above example. Many farmers will go out of business. Next year supply will fall. This causes price to increase. However, this higher price acts as an incentive for greater supply. Therefore, next year supply increases and prices plummet again! https://www.economicshelp.org/blog/4977/economics/problems-of-agriculture-market-failure/

The current agricultural market is failing due to the very undependable income farmers have

# data[].attributes.body
Often farmers don’t share the same benefits of economic growth. As the economy expands, firms don’t see a similar increase in income. Food has a low-income elasticity of demand. As incomes rise, people don’t spend more on food. Also, technological advances can lead to falling prices rather than rising incomes. Many developed economies feel it is necessary to subsidize farmers to protect their incomes. For a developing economy, their current comparative advantage may lie in producing primary products. However, these may have a low-income elasticity of demand. With global growth, the demand for agricultural products doesn’t increase as much as manufacturing. Therefore, relying on agriculture can lead to lower rates of economic growth. https://www.economicshelp.org/blog/4977/economics/problems-of-agriculture-market-failure/
