Eventually, the Marketing Efficiency of 1 quintal chilli bag was seen to be 3.27% 1 quintal chilli bag through channel 2 and price spread seen while marketing of 1 quintal chilli bag is Rs.530 from channel 2. Eventually Total marketing cost incurred in marketing of 1 quintal chilli bag through channel 2 is Rs 49. Total market margin in marketing of 1 quintal chilli bag through channel 2 is Rs 882. Eventually, the Marketing Efficiency of 1 quintal chilli bag was seen to be 3.27% 1 quintal chilli bag through channel 2 and price spread seen while marketing of 1 quintal chilli bag is Rs.530 from channel 2.
