    Price Spread is the difference between the price paid by the consumer and the price received by the producer for an agricultural commodity. It represents the total marketing costs and margins of intermediaries.

    Formula

    Price Spread = Consumer’s Price − Producer’s Price

    Producer’s Share in Consumer Rupee (%) = (Producer’s Price ÷ Consumer’s Price) × 100

    Calculator

    Price Spread indicates efficiency of agricultural marketing.

    Definition

    Producer’s Share in Consumer Rupee refers to the percentage of the price paid by the consumer that is actually received by the producer (farmer). It indicates the efficiency of the agricultural marketing system.

    Formula

    Producer’s Share (%) = (Price received by Producer ÷ Price paid by Consumer) × 100

    Calculator

    Calculator

    Lower marketing cost indicates a more efficient marketing system.
  • Marketing Efficiency (Acharya Method) Calculator

    Marketing Efficiency (Acharya Method)

    Definition

    Marketing Efficiency (Acharya’s Method) measures the efficiency of an agricultural marketing system by comparing the price received by the producer with the total marketing costs and margins involved in moving the commodity from producer to consumer.

    Formula

    Marketing Efficiency (ME) = Producer’s Price ÷ (Total Marketing Cost + Total Marketing Margin)

    Calculator

    Higher value of ME indicates a more efficient marketing system.
