This paper examines the economics of vegetable growing around Patna town, Bihar, India and the marketing and export potential for vegetables. Data for 1989/90 was collected from a sample of 60 marginal and small vegetable growers in four villages (Pahari, Tulsimandi, Kasba and Karmalichak) in the hinterland of Patna town. For all green vegetables, increases in consumer price were largely absorbed by retailers. The main reason for the low productivity of vegetable crops was the non-availability of quality tested high yielding variety seeds. The need to improve the postharvest handling and processing units for vegetables is emphasized.
