Unfortunately, there's no single definitive answer to what share of the final price farmers receive in Dhaka's vegetable marketing system. The share can vary significantly depending on several factors:

• Type of Vegetable: The price markup for different vegetables can vary depending on factors like perishability, transportation costs, and seasonality. For example, leafy greens with a shorter shelf life might see a higher proportion going to intermediaries compared to more durable vegetables.
• Number of Intermediaries: The more middlemen involved (Beparis, Aratdars), the smaller the share that reaches the farmer.
• Bargaining Power: Farmers with stronger bargaining power or those who bypass some intermediaries through direct selling can potentially retain a larger share.
• Location: Farmers closer to urban markets might get a better price compared to those in remote areas due to lower transportation costs.

Estimates and Research:

• Studies suggest that farmers in Bangladesh, including Dhaka, typically receive between 30% and 60% of the final consumer price for vegetables.
• You can find relevant research papers by searching for terms like "farmer's share," "vegetable marketing," and "Dhaka" in academic databases like https://about.jstor.org/ or Google Scholar.

Further Research in Your MPhil:

• You can conduct your own research to get a more accurate picture of farmer's share for specific vegetables or regions in Dhaka.
• This could involve interviews with farmers, Beparis, and Aratdars, or analyzing data from government agencies or market surveys.
• Understanding the factors influencing farmer's share can help you propose solutions for increasing their income and improving the overall fairness of the vegetable marketing system.
