Abstract
The number of traders of minor irrigation equipment (MIE) were small but no single nor a few firms could enjoy preferential advantage over other firms. Capital was identified as a barrier to entry of new firms in the MIE market. About 71% of traders could not find scope for new entry. Various brands of MIE were dealt in by about 90% of traders. There was no system of quality control of MIE. Accessibility of farmers to MIE though improved, the scopes still exists for further improvement of the accessibility.
