Correct option is A
· The portion of agricultural produce which is sold in the market by the farmers is called marketed surplus.
· This term refers to the amount of produce that is available for sale after meeting the consumption needs of the farming household. It is crucial for the functioning of agricultural markets and for ensuring food supply to urban areas.
Details on other options:
· produced surplus: This term is not commonly used in agricultural economics. It could be confused with the overall production exceeding consumption, but it doesn't specifically refer to the amount sold in the market.
· marketed deficit: This would imply that the marketed quantity is less than what is required or expected, which is not relevant in this context.
· produced deficit: This term would indicate a shortfall in production, meaning the production is less than the required or expected amount, and it is not related to the portion sold in the market.
