This paper builds on the hypothesis that access to markets, defined in terms of demand for HVCs and the factors facilitating their transport from production sites to consumption centres, is critical to their growth. The analysis thus brings out regional variations in HVCs across the country that have implications for regional agricultural planning and consequently for public and private sector investment strategies Economic and Political Weekly 2002 Article PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://oar.icrisat.org/5290/1/PPR-EPW-Diversification-2006.pdf Rao, P P and Birthal, P S and Joshi, P K (2002) Diversification towards High Value Agriculture Role of Urbanisation and Infrastructure.
