TRADE AND COMMERCE

CHANGES IN PATTERN AND ORGANIZATION

Since the publication of the old Khandesh Gazetteer, a considerable change has taken place in the pattern, composition and organisation of trade. Factors like improved means of communications, technological advance, comparatively easy monetary conditions have immensely influenced this change.

Commodities like bananas, for which there was no external demand in the 19th century, have now come to the forefront. Associations and organisations have come into existence to meet this demand. As a result the economic face of this district has put on a new complexion.
