- Abstract
The objective of the study is to find the structure, conduct and performance of fish markets of Khagaria district of Bihar. The fisheries sector at present is mainly focused on production-oriented measures rather being market-oriented to increase the production and share of producers in consumer's rupee. The Gini coefficient, Lorenz curve and marketing efficiency methods were used to assess the market structure, conduct and performance. The Gini coefficient value of wholesaler, retailer and producer were found to be 0.486, 0.493 and 0.5 respectively, indicates the existence of inequality among the market participants. CV of wholesaler retailer and producer were found to be 3.70, 3.78 and 15.21, respectively. The net margin for wholesaler was found to be far greater than retailers as well as producers. Gross total market margin (GTMM) was found to be 70.16%. Marketing channel-3 where producers directly sell their produce was found to be the most efficient channel among all the 3 channels. In order to make the fish markets of Khagaria district more efficient, marketing board or state fisheries department intervention in fish marketing is necessary.
