Mention some obstacles that hinder the mechanism of agricultural marketing.

Difficulties that hinder the mechanism of agricultural marketing are:

•Lack of infrastructural facilities like proper road, railways, storage, transportation, etc.

•Inadequate credit facilities and banking system due to which private unorganised money lenders still predominates the agricultural market.

•Presence of middlemen

•Faulty weighing and measure of farm produce and manipulation of accounts of the farmers by the money lenders and traders.

•Lack of knowledge and information on prevailing market prices lead to the farmers to sell their crops at a much lower price.
