Abstract

Weekly market centers which represent mini agriculture market, influence regional population policy, transportation, storage and sorting of goods, their pricing and distribution etc. In the absence of such markets the farmers of the area take the help of brokers who usually visit their villages and porches agriculture produce. Markets not only serve as outlets for the daily needs of the peoples but also function as suitable basis for social and cultural contact (R.K.Shrivastav.1992). The distribution of weekly market centers is influenced by different physical and cultural factors. In the study region weekly market centers are irregularly distributed. At the tahsil level also there is great variation in the distribution of weekly market centers. Each factor has its own control and affects directly or indirectly on the distribution of weekly market centers (Pawar, C.T. and Lokhande, T.N. 1999).
