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.
