Market integration boosts stability and efficiency in onion and potato prices.
The study looked at how onion and potato prices in India's major markets are connected. By analyzing data from 2009 to 2019, researchers found that these markets are linked, affecting each other's prices. This means that changes in one market can impact prices in another. The study showed that most markets have a two-way relationship, while some have a one-way connection. This information can help farmers and traders understand how prices are influenced across different markets, leading to more stable pricing and efficient marketing systems.
