| Indian agriculture is diversifying during the last two decades towards High-Value Commodities (HVCs) i.e., fruits, vegetables, milk, meat, and fish products. The pace has been accelerated during the decade of 1990s. HVCs account for a large share in the total value of agricultural production. Supply and demand side factors coupled with infrastructural development and innovative institutions drive these changes. In this paper, the focus is on diversification towards HVCs in the context of urbanization. Group of urban districts (districts with >1.5 million urban population) have a higher share of HVCs compared to the urban-surrounded (near urban districts) and other districts (districts in the hinterland). Among the HVCs, vegetables and meat products have... |

| During the past decade the Indian chickpea industry underwent a dramatic structural shift following the implementation of market-oriented policies by the Government of India. This paper examines consumer attitudes to quality characteristics of chickpea in India. A linear hedonic price model is estimated using auction price and quality data of chickpea samples obtained from major markets in India. Empirical results indicate that specific physical quality characteristics and purity standards are important factors influencing the price of chickpea in India. Thus, there may be an incentive for domestic producers and sellers of chickpea and exporting countries to improve the quality of their product, if improvements in specific physical characteristics... |

| The Indian Sub-Continent (ISC) is the largest pulse producing and consuming region in the world. Australian scientists, producers, processors and exporters require detailed information about these markets. One study of these markets aims to describe the Indian chickpea market and to quantify the value of quality traits in the market using statistical analysis. This paper describes the Indian chickpea market and reports the results of about forty interviews with wholesalers, retailers, processors, brokers and commission agents which were conducted in eight key Indian markets in May and August 1999. A subsequent paper will present the results of an econometric analysis, which attaches values to the product traits of samples taken at the time of the... |
