Present study was conducted in middle Gujarat for the estimation of buying behaviour of cotton growers of different size groups for the purchase of cotton seed. A multi-stage sampling design was applied for the study and required data were collected from 120 cotton growers (26 marginal, 19 small, 30 medium and 45 large) spread over 12 villages of 6 talukas, covering three cotton growing districts of the Middle Gujarat during 2011-12. The major methods employed for the analysis were linear multiple regression model and Garrett ranking technique. Brand loyalty among cotton seed growers were influenced by price of the seed, peer group influence, brand image, advertisement and availability of the seed. The most important constraint viewed by the cotton growers was non-availability of the branded seed demanded in desired quantity followed by non-availability of the branded seed in time.Keywords

The present paper attempts to analyze the market structure, problems and prospects in marketing of cotton seeds and suggest improvement in marketing of cotton seed marketing. Required data were collected from 30 dealers spread over three selected districts on cross sectional basis keeping in mind the relative importance of agencies/companies in the total volume of business especially in cotton seed marketing for the time period of 2009 to 2011.The major methods employed for the analysis were Lorenz co-efficient of inequality technique, Bain's classification for market structure and Garrett ranking technique. The Lorenz co-efficient values were near to one which confirmed the inequality in the distribution of the dealers by sizes in the cotton seed market. Out of total sale of cotton seed in a year 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12, top four dealers' transactions was less than 25 per cent, the selected cotton seed market was atomistically competitive market. The most important constraint viewed by the dealers was non-availability of seeds by desired quantity followed by non-availability of seeds in time.Keywords
