Commodity price is a systematic process of disposing farm produce to give farmers
a good remuneration for products. Giwa market from North West Zone was
purposively choosen. 120 farmers were randomly selected from market surrounding
villages. Information was obtained by the use of structured questionnaires. Data
were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics which were used to describe the
mean (x) distribution of the prices per commodity; bar charts and tables were used to present the result of the study. Farmers derived more information on market prices of agricultural produce and facilitated decision on what, how, when, and where to market their produce. This would aid farmers to have better earnings. The
recommendations included: more market information from other location should be
sought and intervention should be intensified to create more awareness on the
importance of commodity price for agricultural and national development.
