The agricultural commodity market supports India’s economic growth and rural advancement by providing stakeholders including farmers and traders with a system to control price risks when they determine their product values. NCDEX has become one of the largest commodity exchanges that enables trading in agricultural futures since its establishment. The paper examines NCDEX agricultural commodity futures trading patterns during twenty years from 2005 to 2024. The research outlines major patterns and changes in order to establish fundamental knowledge about the factors that impact agri-futures markets. The analysis aims to support ongoing research about commodity markets in India while establishing basic knowledge for agricultural derivative market developers and stakeholders, and policy-makers.
