Agriculture Situation In IndiaSummary: The present study entitled “Behaviour of prices and market arrivals of brinjal in Western Maharashtra” is undertaken with objectives to study the seasonal and cyclical variations in prices and arrivals of brinjal and to study the response of prices on arrival of brinjal. The study is based on secondary data consisting of monthly prices and arrivals of brinjal, collected from three major Agriculture Produce Market Committees (APMC’s) namely Pune, Kolhapur and Nashik. The arrival of brinjal in these markets was the highest. The data covered a period of 13 years i.e. 2005 to 2017. Moving average method is used to estimate seasonal variation and residual method for cyclical variations. The simple linear regression analysis is used to study the response of the prices on arrivals of brinjal. The study observed that the prices of brinjal were higher from the month of June to December in the selected markets. The higher cyclical variations were observed in the prices of brinjal during 2013 and 2017 in Pune; 2011 and 2014 in Kolhapur and Nashik. The peak period of arrivals of brinjal in selected markets was July to December. The higher cyclical variations were observed in the arrivals of brinjal in the selected markets during 2007, 2011, 2016 and 2017. The lag price of brinjal is found to be a major contributor in deciding current year prices. – Reproduced
