Marketed Surplus
MARKETABLE SURPLUS:
Marketable surplus refers to the difference between
the total output produced by a farmer and his
self-consumption from that output. In other words, it
is that portion of the total produce that the farmer
sells in the market.
Measured as:
Marketable surplus = Total farm output produced by
farmer - Own consumption of farm output
MS = P - C
● Marketable surplus:
Marketable surplus refers to the difference between
how many crops a farmer produces and how much he
or she consumes on-farm. The portion of the farmer's
produce that is sold in the market is what we are
referring to.
Farm output that is sold on the market is equal to the
total amount of output produced by the farmer minus
the amount of consumption the farmer makes of his
own output.
● Marketed surplus:
Marketed surplus is the that quantity of which the
producer or farmer actually sells in the
market,irrespective of the requirements for family
consumption , farm need and other payments.
★ Inverse RELATIONSHIP:
There is an inverse relationship between prices and
the marketable surplus. They postulate that the
farmers' cash requirements are nearly fixed and given
the price level, the marketed portion of the output is
determined.This relationship is accurate for
perissable commodities.
★ Direct RELATIONSHIP:
Direct relationship is also exist here because if the
commodities are not perishable then the producer
will not sell his commodities he will wait for price
increase so that he can get profit.
■ Conclusion:
A surplus describes the amount of an asset or
resource that exceeds the portion that's actively
utilized. A surplus can refer to a host of different
items, including income, profits, capital, and goods. In
the context of inventories, a surplus describes
products that remain sitting on store shelves,
unpurchased.The important point to be recognized is
that agricultural surpluses can be used to stimulate a
sounder and more rapid economic development than
is now taking place in the less advanced countries of
the free world.
