• C. Assembling, Processing, Packaging, Transportation
• D. Processing, Packaging, Grading, Distribution

Hint:

Agricultural marketing begins after production and involves assembling, storage, transportation, processing, packaging, and distribution.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Option (B) is inaccurate. The agricultural marketing system comprises:

• Assembling: Gathering produce from farms.
• Storage and Transportation: Protecting and relocating produce to market.
• Processing: Transforming raw produce into finished products.
• Grading and Packaging: Preparing produce for sale.
• Distribution: Supplying goods to consumers or retailers.

Option (B) erroneously includes Production. While production is integral to the agricultural sector, it precedes and is separate from the marketing system. Marketing activities commence post-production.
