According to OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, agriculture and farming has witnessed major changes and has worked for development in trading and marketing both at domestic and global level.
Global agricultural production continued to rise rapidly particularly in developing regions in Asia and South America.
However, marketing and selling of crop is still unorganized and not regularized.
It is still a problem for small farmers to sell their crops.
So, they depend on traders.
Due to lack of pricing variations, small farmers tend to sell their crop for either small margin of profit or even at a lesser price.
But there are actually better ideas to help and assist farmers to earn a better price and profitability.
1. Sell their crops like rice, corn, maize, vegetables to local vendors and restaurants.
2. It can also include caterers and even directly to customers.
3. They can open a mini retail store and earn daily.
4. Sell directly to farmers market
Conclusion
It is not necessary that farmers rely on traders for marketing their crop.
There are many other reliable sources that can fetch them quick cash and profit.
