Write a short note on marketed surplus.

Solution

Marketed surplus refers to surplus of farmer's output over and above his 'oh farm consumption' (i.e. expected consumption of output by the farmer's family during the year). This surplus is available to the farmers for sale in the market. Hence it is called marketed surplus. By selling the marketable surplus he gets the cash. Marketable surplus is a sign of commercialisation of agriculture.
