Overview

This project aimed to examine the nature and impact of interventions in selected agricultural markets, to analyse marketing system constraints, to identify, evaluate and quantify the impact of domestic market and international trade policy reforms and, to develop and disseminate appropriate policy recommendations.

With a particular focus on the interaction of trade liberalisation (reforms at the 'border') with internal ('behind the border') reforms, the project was conceived and designed to contribute to the policy challenge of devising reforms to improve efficiency in Indian agricultural markets consistent with major national goals of achieving sustainable improvements in rural incomes, poverty alleviation and food security.
