In this second video of a four part series on 'Agricultural Markets in India', Professor Vikas Rawal of the Centre for Economic Studies and Planning (CESP) at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Delhi contextualises agricultural commodity markets within the overall production system. He presents a critique of the over emphasis on agricultural market reforms and pricing policy rather than focusing on aspects of production and productivity to raise farmers' incomes. His presentation touches upon the constraints that Indian farmers face as compared to their counterparts in other countries with respect to profits.
