Ahmednagar district is selected for present studies. The price of agricultural commodities assumes great significance from producer’s as well as consumer’s point of view. It is said that prices are mirror of economy of the country. The purpose of the present study is to examine the behaviour of fluctuations in prices and arrivals of Sorghum, Tur, Soybean, Chickpea and Bajra which are selected for study in APMC market in of Ahmednagar district. In Ahmednagar market arrivals of different agricultural products are in good quantity as compared to other markets. This market was selected due to the availability of continuous time series data for the research period.
