Agricultural Science

This term in Agricultural Science introduces students to the concept of marketing channels for farm produce, exploring how goods move from farmers to consumers. The curriculum identifies key participants in the agricultural marketing process, including producers, middlemen, retailers, cooperative societies, and marketing boards, and discusses their roles in ensuring farm products reach the market efficiently. The aim is to help students understand the economic flow of agricultural goods and how each participant adds value along the way.

In the latter part of the term, focus shifts to farm records, where students will learn about the importance of record-keeping in farming. They will explore different types of records such as input/output records, sales records, inventory records, and labour records, all crucial for planning, monitoring farm activities, and improving productivity. This foundational knowledge equips students with the tools needed for efficient farm management and decision-making.
