The findings revealed that the majority of the respondents perceived that statement viz., a farmer should earn his living, and it can be determined in economic terms is valid for economic motivation ranked first and indicated a weighted mean score of 4.66. Further, to test the adequacy of the sample, factor analysis, KMO, and Bartlett's test of Sphericity was applied and yielded four factors, explaining a total of 66.72 per cent of the variance for the entire set of marketing facilities adopted by the farmer. Regarding constraints, the majority of farmers considered “lack of market information” a severe constraint, ranked first with a 2.91 weighted mean score.
