The Story Of Village Palampur
What is the sale of Surplus farm products?
Let us suppose that the farmers have produced wheat on their land using the three factors of production.
(i)The wheat is harvested and production is complete. What do the farmers do with the wheat ? They retain a part of the wheat for the families consumption and sell the surplus wheat.
(ii)Small farmers have little surplus wheat because their total production is small and from this a substantial share is kept for their own family needs.
(iii)So, it is the medium and large farmers who supply wheat to the market. The traders at the market buy the wheat and sell it further to shopkeepers in the towns and cities.
