The correct answer is D. The Karnataka State Horticulture Produce Marketing Corporation (KSHPMC) plays a role in market development, price support, and post-harvest management.
- Market development: KSHPMC helps to develop markets for horticultural produce by providing marketing infrastructure, such as cold storage facilities and grading and packing facilities. It also promotes the consumption of horticultural produce through advertising and public relations campaigns.
- Price support: KSHPMC provides price support to farmers by buying their produce at a minimum price. This helps to ensure that farmers get a fair price for their produce, even when market prices are low.
- Post-harvest management: KSHPMC helps to improve the quality of horticultural produce by providing post-harvest management services, such as grading, packing, and cold storage. This helps to reduce post-harvest losses and improve the marketability of horticultural produce.
In addition to these three main roles, KSHPMC also plays a role in other areas, such as research and development, extension services, and training.
