The society and the economy of India largely operates through rural marketing systems. Rural markets and urban centres represent the cross profile of rural India. India is a country of villages and its real soul lives in her villages with 71% of its total population. Roughly 70% of India's population still draws its succour from agricultural activity and some 45% of its national income still accrues from agricultural sector. Actually agriculture is the stage on which the drama of economic development is enacted and rural marketing thus is intimately bound up with the process of economic development. Rural periodic marketing system are common throughout the less developed countries including India. In the present book the author creditably outlines the cross-section of Indian farmer to reflect country's rural markets and urban centres. Hundreds or even thousands aggregate on a convenient sector for a fraction of a day to exchange their earning an wants to function as a miniature hub of collecting and distributing commodities. The book is an exhaustive study of rural markets and urban centres, whose importance cannot be over emphasised in the rural development and planning in our country. The present book embodies the merit of compliance with the recent trend of studies and research in the discipline of Geography. The spirit of the writing relates in its era and theme coverage the fundamental thrust on aspect s of spatial organisation; the extent and the intensity of interconnection and interdependence among elements of physical and cultural landscape. In this book, Dr Ashok Kumar Sinha presents his pains taking study on field work, original collection of data and assimilation of rural markets an urban centres of the Magadh administrative division of Central Bihar which has a background of ancient history and rich cultural heritage having 91% of its population as rural. His original and methodical interpretation makes it more worthy. An attempt has been made to unroll historical setting of Magadh Division from unknown past to the current century before projecting profile of the project. There are eight meaningful, logical and well balanced chapters, eighty two cartographically sound maps and diagrams, thirty five selected tables, valuable appendices and admirable bibliography which explain geo-economic landscape of the country, various bases of theory and review of hierarchy of rural markets and urban centres, spatio-temporal characteristics, functional and behavioural characteristics of market, analysis of urban centres, micro-geography of sample markets, marketing an rural development. At last in summary and conclusion the author is of the view that marketing and rural development are interlinked without which their projected profiles fail to trace similarity of evolution and development. The zone of research has to be carefully traversed to fathom traders performance. Rural markets not doubt, function as levers of growth. To portray rural markets in their poly-phase, it is essential to balance markets, traders, consumers, goods movement and complexities. Marketing is the biggest problem ever faced by advancing rural industrial sector. A creation of an effective marketing infrastructure is needed to produce products of rural industries. If agriculture function as the heart of economy, rural industries will act as its lungs to balance production of commodities. And their sale on fair price in markets. This book is useful for geographers, sociologists, planners, economists and students of geography and regional studies.

It has increasingly been recognised that rural and urban areas are inextricably interlinked. This book adopts a fresh approach to the issue of rural-urban dynamics through a study of the changing nature of livelihoods, mobility and markets in ten study sites across four countries of Africa and Asia. Building on detailed fieldwork conducted in Ghana, Tanzania, Vietnam and Thailand, the authors explore how settlements and livelihoods are being transformed as long-term inhabitants and recent migrants embrace new economic activities many of which are linked to global markets. The book is structured around the concept of ‘frontier’ which is conceptualized as being a dynamic space where the forces of economic, demographic and social change are brought to bear. The study sites include agricultural frontiers (coffee, cocoa, pineapples and fresh fruit), handicraft and manufacturing frontiers, and mining frontiers (gold and diamonds). In all of the cases, global value chain dynamics have played a pivotal role in shaping local livelihoods. Some settlements are developing into new urban centres whilst others are suffering from a boom and bust experience due to the unreliability of export markets. The similarities and differences between the frontier settlements are drawn out by comparing frontiers of similar types and by highlighting the theoretical and policy implications of the findings from all the frontier types. The originality of the book lies in its combination of conceptual clarity, methodological coherence and empirical richness. By combining detailed empirical findings with theoretical insight from debates on livelihoods, global value chains, mobility patterns, settlement dynamics and rural-urban relations, the book sheds new light on these issues within an overall framework of development trajectories in Africa and Asia. Given scholars’ and international agencies’ current interest in the spatial dimensions of economic development, this contribution is particularly timely with its fresh geographical approach to development issues; this book is a pertinent and authoritative read for anyone researching or learning in the field of development.

This book critically examines different forms of urban-rural links for sustainable development in different countries. As intertwined processes of globalization, digitalization, environmental challenges and the search for sustainable development continue, rural and urban areas around the world become increasingly interconnected and interdependent. This book contributes to understanding the role of this growing interconnectedness from an economic geographical perspective. It does so by theoretically and empirically addressing the various existing linkages, such as food networks, value chains, and regional governance at local, regional, national and international levels. In doing so, contributions extend and contrast existing approaches dealing with urban and rural areas separately by considering the interplay between these two as well as their consequences for sustainability transition pathways. This edited volume adds to the academic and policy debate by bringing together a variety of concepts and themes in order to shift the research and policy agenda away from simple dichotomy to different notions of rural-urban linkages. Offering multidisciplinary insights into rural-urban linkages, the book will be of interest to decision-makers, practitioners and researchers in the fields of economic geography, regional planning, food studies and economics.

By 2030, 60 percent of the world's population are expected to be living in urban areas. Population growth is not solely in larger metropolitan centres - the mega cities. The numbers of small and intermediate-sized urban centres are also increasing and have an important role as links in the marketing system. This guide provides a simplified aid to understanding the physical implications of marketing linkages, based on a regional planning approach. The guide provides a simple planning methodology and framework that focuses on the issue of linking farmers to market outlets for their produce particularly identifying their marketing infrastructure needs. The users of the guide are likely to be at national, provincial or district levels and could include planners and engineers in ministries and departments of public works and transport, planning and marketing officers in ministries and departments of agriculture, local authority officers in planning, commerce and marketing departments and local authorities, communities, farmer groups and voluntary organizations, concerned to understand marketing constraints and with ensuring that rural producers have better access to markets for their products.
