Marketing reforms, it is claimed, can be a crucial answer to solving the problem of rural poverty in agrarian economies where large sections of populace are engaged in low paying agriculture. On a wider front, these reforms could help in providing growth impetus to an economy and even the global economy at large.  Yet, the subject of liberalizing agricultural markets is also part of a broad and perhaps a bitter political debate between national and sub-national policy makers and academic discourses in India and other countries. A clearer understanding and a possible resolution of the issues involved will be decidedly useful. The experience of India, one of the largest and most agriculture-dominated economies, will undoubtedly provide valuable lessons not only for steering the domestic economic policy but also for other countries to set their own policy agenda. The book attempts to capture the evolving reality in a large and diverse country and presents an objective evaluation to enable aspiring investors and those in policy making, food business and civil society to make more informed assessment and decision. 410 0$aIndia Studies in Business and Economics,$x2198-0012 606 $aAgricultural economics 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aMarketing 606 $aAgricultural Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aMarketing$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/513000 615 0$aAgricultural economics. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aMarketing. 615 14$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aMarketing. 676 $a338.1854 700 $aGhosh$b Nilabja$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063011 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438070503321 996 $aIndia?s Agricultural Marketing$92529611 997 $aUNINA
