17. Various Agri Marketing Models
Kerala
With the absence of APMCs, the major channel of trade in Kerala is private and govt.
agencies that procure from farmers and sell it in other states.
Pineapple Growers Association of Keralam president Baby John said that 90 per cent of the
pineapple produced in Kerala were sold out through APMCs in other states.
There are lobbies in APMCs that fix low prices. Hence, flexibility in trading would obviously
help the major producers explore fresh markets and demand more price.
Steps like contract farming would help in venturing into more varieties of pineapple farming.
At present 4.5 lakh tonnes of pineapple are in produced in Kerala.
