Market Intelligence (MI), can be defined as
“the process of acquiring and analyzing information in order to
understand the market (both existing and potential customers); to determine
the current and future needs and preferences, attitudes and behavior of the
market; and to assess changes in the business environment that may affect the
size and nature of the market in the future.” In other words market
intelligence is the information, gathered and analyzed specifically for the
purpose of accurate and confident decision making for determining market
opportunity, market penetration strategy, and market development metrics.
There is an
urgent need for making available market intelligence services to boost the
trade and increase the participation of all importing and exporting
organizations or firms in India and also other countries which require support
about latest developments in trade. Thus these services are likely to bring
more awareness among exporters and importers all over. Market intelligence
plays a vital role in marketing of agricultural produce. If the information on
commodity prices prevailing in various markets is made available, the farmers
would be able to get better price for their produce by moving their produce to
the market which pays higher price.
