Abstract- The Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) of Shajapur district plays a vital role in facilitating the marketing of agricultural produce, particularly vegetables. This study is based entirely on secondary data collected over a five-year period from 2018-2019 to 2022- 2023 focusing on the arrivals of key vegetables such as potatoes, onions, and garlic at APMC in Shajapur District. The objective is to analyze how the arrivals of these vegetables have changed over time and to explore the key factors influencing these changes. Factors such as climatic variations, shifts in cropping patterns, market demand, and price fluctuations have been considered to understand the observed trends. By systematically analyzing the annual arrival data, the study provides valuable insights into the dynamics of agricultural marketing in the region and suggests areas for improvement to strengthen the market system and agricultural planning.

Keywords- Agricultural Marketing, Climate Variations, Market Demand, Price Fluctuations, Vegetable Arrivals.
