ABSTRACT :
The study: (1) examines the trends in the seasonal fluctuation in arrivals and prices of Kagzi limes; (2) estimates the marketable quantity of fruit and fruit wastage at the farm level; and (3) investigates the prospects for a Kagzi lime processing unit in Vidarbha region, Maharashtra, India. Data were collected from eight markets in Akola and Buldana districts during 1989/90 and from 300 growers in 50 villages. It was found that market arrivals in the postharvest period create a glut which depresses prices and causes considerable losses for lime growers. Developing agro-processing industries, especially farmer cooperative processing units, would help in regulating supply, and hence farmers' income.
