Agricultural marketing refers to the farmer's act of bringing their products to the market for sale. Is the statement correct?

Yes, the statement is sort of correct. Agricultural marketingis inferred to cover the services involved in moving an agricultralproduct from thefarmto the consumer. It is also the planning, organizing, directing and handling of agricultural produce in such a way as to satisfy the farmer, producer and the consumer. Farmers frequently consider marketing as being their major problem. However, while they are able to identify such problems as poor prices, lack of transport and high post-harvest losses, they are often poorly equipped to identify potential solutions.
