How do wholesale markets create stronger price competition for farm produce?

Wholesale markets bring traders, bulk buyers, and commission agents into one selling yard.
Buyer competition improves the chance of a stronger price for farm produce.
In a wholesale yard, several buyers can check the same crop on the same day.
Many traders visit these markets because they need produce in larger quantities.
Commission agents help connect farmers with buyers who are already active in that market.
A farmer is in a better position when more than one buyer is interested in the crop.
Prices can improve when traders compete for limited supply.
A weak offer becomes easier to avoid when another buyer is ready to purchase.
Wholesale selling changes the situation from one buyer deciding the rate to many buyers judging the crop. The farmer gets a clearer sense of real demand in the market. This can make the final price more competitive than a quick local sale.
