Abstract: The performance of the existing agricultural marketing system in developing countries has been a subject of considerable debate in the past many years.. One of the many issues of this debate concerns the ability of the traditional marketing system to adopt new technology and to accommodate any increase in agricultural productivity without leaving "harmful" effects on the consumer or on the farmer. Other things being equal, any agricultural marketing system which enables the farmer to benefit from the adoption of a new farm technology, at least as much as other market participants would do, may be regarded as havingperformed ''well'' [14] .2 Against this background the present paper attempts to study changes in the prices received by the farmer, resulting from the interaction of the Green Revolution in the Punjab and Sind in the Sixties with agricultural marketing in the country.
