Abstract

Trends in arrival and prices of vegetable crops indicated that the prices of all the vegetable crops increased during 2015-2019. The trend analysis revealed that prices of the vegetable crops are increasing over the year however arrival did not show any definite pattern. Linear growth rate analysis showed that prices of apple, pear and plum decreased during 2015-2019 in Bhuntar market i.e -0.36, -0.61, -0.24 respectively. However pear and plum prices decreased in Kullu market also. Almost similar pattern was observed in the arrival of these fruit crops in the other selected markets. Seasonality in arrival was higher compared to seasonality in prices because of local nature of arrival where as demand for fruit and vegetable is more which resulted in lower seasonality in prices.
