Abstract
In recent years there has been a serious concern among the farmers,
scientists, policymakers and environmentalists regarding the continuous
erosion of genetic biodiversity of rice cultivars in Chhattisgarh which has
traditionally been known as bowl of scented rices in central India. In view
of India’s potential competitiveness in aromatic rices in the international
market, it is imperative to understand the dynamics of domestic trade in
aromatic rice. In this study, marketing and price-spread patterns of aromatic
rice in the state of Chhattisgarh have been examined. A few policy
interventions have been suggested for promoting aromatic rices in the
state.
