Prof. D. Chennappa, Ramavath Ravi

Abstract :

The sellers are the most important components forming the central level of the mechanism of weekly markets; in fact, they are the controllers of the periodic marketing system. A large gathering of individual sellers always invites potential buyers in the market. The present paper studies socio–economic status of the sellers’ and role of the seller in the tribal markets for procurement of MFP/AP and supply of daily needs. And also discusses about the nature of trading activities and availability of infrastructure facilities in weekly markets. The present study relied both secondary and primary data. The primary data collected from seller respondents through well designed schedule in selected tribal agency districts in Telangana. It concluded that the weekly markets held commonly in the areas where the tribal population is more. The selling is a self employment business to the sellers with small investment and without any requirement of infrastructure like building/shops and there is a chance to get more returns. Sellers can take their produce to one location rather than having to go from door to door. They can see how much of a particular product is on offer; compare the quality of their produce with that of other sellers, and set their prices accordingly
