A study on the pattern and economics of groundnuts storage at different levels in the Punjab.

New technology in agriculture has given rise to an increased demand for storage space in the Indian rural economy. This article investigates economic aspects of the storage of groundnuts in the Punjab. The types and methods of storage are explained, as practices by producers and sellers. The kind of storage available to different farm sizes is also examined. Data from a sample of 40 traders and 60 farmers for the years 1987/88 reveal that about 80% of the farmers sold their groundnut produce immediately after the postharvest period to fulfil their cash requirements. Those who stored their produce faced inadequate facilities and used their houses to keep bags of groundnuts over long periods of time. This finding calls for an effort on the part of the government to improve facilities.
