Solution

Government has adopted various measures for improving agricultural marketing such as regulation of markets, provision of physical infrastructure, co-operative marketing and policy measures like MSP, etc. But even after these measures taken by the government,
agricultural markets are still predominated by moneylenders, rural political elites, big merchants and rich farmers which are doing private trade.

The current infrastructure facilities are inadequate to meet the growing demand, and need to be improved further. Cooperatives are also suffering from problems like inadequate coverage of farmers as members, lack of appropriate link between marketing and processing co-operatives and inefficient financial management.
