Abstract

The study was undertaken to analyse the short and long term fluctuation in prices and arrivals of brinjal in five major APMCs at Surat, Navsari, Vyara, Ahmadabad and Vadodara districts of South Gujarat. The secondary data on monthly average prices and arrivals of brinjal at different markets were collected for a period of 10 years spanning from 2003 to 2013. Arrival of brinjal either remained stagnant or declined across the selected markets during the study period. The indices of arrivals were at peak in post-harvesting months (January-February) and the lowest in pre-harvesting months (September-December). The indices of prices of brinjal started increasing from June onwards and reached at the peak during off season month in the majority of the selected markets. Majority of the markets have shown increasing trend in arrivals and prices.
