S. Pura and Bishnah) during the agricultural year 2011-12. Four villages from each block, 10 farmers from each village were selected randomly, so as to constitute a ultimate sample size of 80 farm households. Primary data were collected by the survey method by interviewing the <em>Basmati </em>rice growers as well as different market functionaries involved through an especially structured and pre-tested schedule. In the study, the three types of marketing channels were identified to be followed by the <em>Basmati</em> rice growers, the first one was the ‘Producer – village trader – rice miller – consumer’ which was named as Channel-I, the second channel was identified as ‘Producer – rice miller – consumer’ and it was named as Channel-II, whereas the third one was the ‘Producer – Consumer’ and named as Channel-III.
