|

|
## Definition
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The process by which urban commercial centres create ready markets for
|
||
|
|
agricultural produce, encouraging cultivation and improvement through better
|
||
|
|
prices for growers while offering cheaper goods to consumers, with the greatest
|
||
|
|
benefit accruing to neighbouring rural areas due to lower transportation costs.
