1. Case Study
Banerjee and Gupta were discussing their problems in rural markets for marketing
their rice produce. The discussions turned to costs and profits. "It is tough to
make any profit in farming today," said Banerjee. "I can match any good farmer in
farm yields and farm management but marketing is where I do not understand."
Gupta joined and said, "It appears that the price and profit for rice today are
determined more and more by things beyond my understanding and even outside
my village community."
Banerjee agreed and said, "The Government budget, government subsidies interest
rates, inflation, government spending in different areas and lot more things are
affecting the rural markets. Gupta added, "We need to learn more about the general
economy is affecting us and what we can do to make a decent profit and live with
the emerging trends in the new world."
Banerjee had a last point to make in the discussions. "Farmers are step children
(child from another mother) of our governments. So much attention is given to
other celebrities, who provide only time pass cricket or entertainments like
musicians or actors. Farmers who give the country such important things as food
and raw material are not given the recognition and encouragement they deserve.
This must change.
