In this book, Munish Alagh makes sincere efforts to estimate marketable and marketed surplus in selected food grains in Gujarat. These types of studies are very few in India. The analysis in this study would inspire many particularly young researchers. - S. Mahendra Dev Director and Vice Chancellor, Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research, Mumbai. The author deserves to be complimented for this pioneering and extensive study on a key problem in agriculture economics viz., the determinants of marketable and marketed supply of food grains. Using a detailed econometric model, the study presents a scientific analysis of these determinants in the case of Gujarat. The work, I am sure, would prove of considerable interest to academics and policymakers alike. - Dilip M. Nachane Chancellor, University of Manipur; formerly Member, PM's Economic Advisory Council and Director, Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research. This is a valuable contribution to the empirical litera-ture on the factors promoting and impeding the development of commercial agriculture in India. Based on a survey in Gujarat, the results show the impact of the expansion of irrigation and investment in modern technologies, especially by larger farmers, and the need for stronger market institutions. - Gerry Rodgers former Director, International Institute for Labour Studies at the ILO.
