Prices provide useful indicators of the state of the market to traders, farmers, consumers and government planners. Prices provide signals to producers, which may encourage them to produce more products that are in demand. Prices also stimulate competition in the market among traders. In the long run knowledge of prices should encourage the flow of produce from areas where produce is oversupplied (surplus) to areas where there are shortages (deficit), thus reducing supply and demand imbalances among different regions. For prices to provide useful signals, however, they must be reliable and must accurately reflect the state of the market. Prices should also be disseminated as quickly as possible after they are collected.
