Introduction
2
• Pulses are an important source of protein for vegetarian
people in India,
• Low per capita availability,
• Increasing demand- supply gap,
• Increasing import dependence,
• Spike in prices along the value chain, higher volatility,
• High prices affect the buying ability of the consumers,
• Protein malnutrition.

Importance
3
• Prices are the primary mechanism through which various
levels in the value chain are linked,
• Pattern of price transmission provides an insight into the
structure of the supply chain and the conduct of the market
participants at different stages,
• Important in the context of changing market structure,
increasing concentration of processing and retail, and
existence of market power within the commodity verticals,
• The paper aims to analyze the direction and extent of price
transmission along the value chain of major pulses in Delhi.

Data and Methodology
4
• Monthly wholesale price of two major pulses, chickpea
(Gram) and pigeonpea (Tur) whole and dal (split) and retail
price of chickpea and pigeonpea dal in Delhi were used in
the analysis,
• Monthly data for the period of 87 months from January
1999 to March 2016 were used for analysis,
• The data were sourced from published sources/ website of
Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Ministry of
Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, GOI.

Data and Methodology
5
• Unit root tests are conducted using the augmented Dickey-
Fuller (ADF) test and Phillips and Perron (PP) test to
identify whether the data are stationary or non-stationary,
• Johansen multivariate approach used to identify the number
of co-integrating vectors in the system,
• Granger causality test applied to evaluate the possible
direction of the price transmission,
• The autoregressive distributed-lags (ADL) model specified
to estimate immediate and dynamic effects of one price on
another.

Conclusions
13
• Prices of selected pulses along the value chain in Delhi market
behave independent of each other in the short-run
• Casualty analysis established unidirectional casualty from whole
grain wholesale to dal wholesale and retail in case of chickpea
value chain, while from dal wholesale to grain wholesale, and dal
retail in case of pigeon pea value chain,
• Wholesale price of chickpea grain and dal and pigeonpea dal
seemed to be exogenous which was validated using the Wald test
for weak exogenity
• Wholesale price of chickpea whole and pigeonpea dal follow an
autoregressive pattern
ICAR-IISR, Indore
Conclusions
14
• There is positive and significant relationship in the retail
price and wholesale price of chickpea dal as well as
pigeonpea dal.
• But no significant relationship was found in wholesale price
of whole chickpea and pigeon pea with wholesale price and
retail price of dal.
• Pulses markets are characterized with imperfect competition
and large traders with oligopoly (Rahman, 2015).
