The Vegetables’ production varies over the period and the arrival of Vegetables in Market led to change in Prices of the Vegetables in Market. The movement in Market can affect consumption and income of growers. Study of stability in Arrival and Prices of Vegetables is need of the hour. For the present study the monthly data on Arrival and Prices on Major Vegetables i.e., Tomatoes, Potatoes, Onion and Red Chili is collected from the records of the Nagpurs’ Kalamna Market from 1997 to 2017. The Compound Growth Rates, Instability Indices and Impact of Arrival on Prices are estimated to study Market Movement of Vegetables. From the results of the analysis of the Market Movement in Arrival and Prices of Major Vegetables in Kalamna Market, it found that the growth in Arrival was negative in first period and was positive in tomatoes and Red Chili in second period.
