Test: Wholesale Pulse Market of Posta - Class 7 MCQ

• When a product begins its journey to the wholesale market, the first important step is manufacturing or production. This means that the product is being made or created by a company or factory. Imagine a toy being made in a toy factory with all the machines and workers busy putting it together. That's the starting point of the product's journey towards reaching you in a store!

When a product journey begins, it starts with its production. This means creating or making the product. It is the first step in the product's path from being made to reaching the consumers.

Many Indian farmers choose to grow crops like rice or wheat instead of pulses because rice and wheat are more profitable for them. This means that they can earn more money by growing rice or wheat compared to growing pulses like daal.

• When many farmers harvest pulses at the same time, there is a lot of supply, which can make the prices lower. This means farmers might have to sell their crops for less money.
• It's like when many people have the same toy, it may not be worth as much. So, when lots of pulses are available, farmers might not get as much money for them.

The government does not decide a fixed price called Minimum Support Price (MSP) for pulses like other crops. This can make pulse farmers vulnerable to changes in prices and face difficulties selling their produce.

Retailers take the pulses to their shops after wholesalers pack them into packets. They display these pulses on racks in their shops for people to buy. So, after the pulses are packed, they go to the shops for sale.

• Some farmers work together in cooperatives because when they work and help each other, they can do bigger things and solve problems together. It's like when you and your friends work together to build a big tower with blocks instead of building small towers separately. Teamwork helps farmers grow more food and earn more money by sharing resources and knowledge.

Farmers are working together in groups called cooperatives to solve problems that happen in the market. They join forces to make things better for all the farmers.
