Abstract

An investigation of Marketing Intelligence Information (MII) of NTFP was undertaken in 20 Primary Tribal Markets (PTM) of Mandla, Bilaspur and Shahdol districts in Madhya Pradesh. A total of 68 NTFP items have been catalogued, quantified for their quantities, assessed for their values and analyzed price trends within and in-between the markets.

Results significantly pointed out that the rate of NTFP at PTM level did not exceed beyond the average limit line in majority of NTFP items, which ultimately prove the extent of exploitation rate (middle to high) of primary collectors at PTM level. The price trends of 68 NTFP items were analyzed out of which 35 presented in figurative mode in Figures 1 to 36. Other details like local, botanical, family names of NTFP, their parts sold or barter, distribution percentage, average rate (Rs/kg or Rs/Ng) and SD, etc., are also given in the paper.
