Ms. Dharani. G, Dr. Mohanamani P

Abstract :

 India is predominantly an agriculture economy, one of the top farm producing nations in the world. Since most rural population is depending on agriculture for employment. Agricultural commodity futures are market-based instruments used for risk management. The Indian commodity derivative sector remained underdeveloped because of intervention of government in controlling prices of commodity markets. The production, supply and distribution of many agricultural commodities are still governed by the state. The five selected commodities are cardamom, cotton, CPO, menthe oil and Kapas. The tool used is Cuddy-Della Valle Instability index. The present study is an investigation of agricultural commodity markets in India. The value of trade has decreased from Rs 13407150.72 crore in 2013-14 to Rs 11652928.96 crore in 2014-15. It indicates a negative growth in the agricultural commodity market in India. But, the value of trade increased to Rs 12573513.97 crore in 2015-16.
