Abstract :
The present research entitled "Study on Post-
Harvest Losses and Marketing of Potato in Prayagraj
District of Uttar Pradesh" was carried out during the
year 2022-23 in the PRAYAGRAJ district of the Uttar
Pradesh State. Potato figures among the principal cash
crops in India and its marketing plays an important role
in the farm economics of farmers of all scales. The main
objective of the study is to analyse, socio economic
characteristic of sample respondents, its economics of
Potato marketing, post-harvest loss, price spread and
constraints and marketing of Potato in Phulpur block is
more potential for Potato production in comparison to
other blocks. Out of the total villages of Phulpur blocks
total 10 villages selected randomly. The major findings of
this study revealed that the average literacy percentage
was 71.00 percent. The average producer sharein
consumer price was Rs. 675.00/qtl and the price spread
was Rs. 525.00/qtl. Sample for marketing efficiency in
channel I was Rs. 2.29/qtl respectively. In channel II
Producer share in consumer price was Rs. 705.25/qtl
respectively. Price spread and Market efficiency Rs.
494.75/qtl and Rs. 2.41/qtl respectively. In channel III
Producer share in consumer price was 702.25 percent
respectively. Price spread and Market efficiency Rs.
497.75/qtl and Rs. 2.92/qtl respectively. Marketing and
research conducted at the Central Potato Research
Institute, Shimla, and experiences gained are also
presented. These include a comprehensive farm-level
study of Prayagraj District, Uttar Pradesh; the dynamics
of seed potato marketing in Himachal Pradesh: price
forecasting, a study of cold storage in Meerut District,
Uttar Pradesh; and outlook surveys. Issues that merit
future attention are improvement of crop statistics;
studies on consumer behaviour, including the estimation
of income elasticities of demand; assessment of
marketing of seed potatoes and processed products; and
techno-economic feasibility of potato exports.
