Abstract

The assessment and evaluation of marketing and pricing of agricultural products and other inputs and providing marketing information to the smallholder producers, non-government organizations, government agencies and individuals would be an important objective of the proposed branch. MRISB would formulate the criteria and guidelines for export and domestic market, provide practical support to clients, review agriculture market policy and strategy, and furnish other relevant market intelligence.
