Abstract
Mustard is a good crop to grow in Haryana's Mahendergarh district, especially in the Mahendergarh and Kanina blocks, where mustard and rapeseed crops produce the most. The market analysis also included Mahendergarh, Narnaul, Ateli, Kanina and Nangal Choudhary marketplaces. Finally, 75 farmers were selected at random from these two blocks, as were 50 traders from Mahendergarh district's five controlled marketplaces. Research in the Mahendergarh area showed that farmers were only slightly aware of prices and landings (II-Rank) compared to those who used MIS and those who didn't. The level of price knowledge among farmers in reference and other markets was the highest, ranking first and second, respectively. Information about the market in Mahendergarh area could be gotten from contacts in other markets and from other sellers. The daily prices were written down by hand and put on the bulletin board so that farmers could make it easier when they went to the market. Others, like friends, reporters, family members, and more, spread the word. In Mahendergarh district, around 77.34% of farmers reported a lack of essential market information. Farmers also have trouble with non-availability of required information issues (64%).
