Abstract :

It’s been said, “Price is what you pay for and Value is what you get.” Value addition in agricultural commodity is generally referred to a process of changing or transforming an agricultural product from its original state to a more valuable state. Accordingly the value chains exist for almost each and every agricultural commodity. The Lasalgaon APMC market of Nashik is considered as the Asia’s biggest onion market. The onion from Lasalgaon APMC is not only sold throughout the country but also exported in many other countries. This research paper studies the agricultural value chain system of onion in Nashik district (M.S.) and impact of technology use on onion farming.
