The commodity futures market plays a major role in reducing the price risk for the participants. Unfortunately, the farmers' participation in the futures market particularly from the Tamil Nadu region is very less. A survey was conducted using the interview method to identify the information sources used by farmers for taking pricing decisions, the awareness and perception of farmers towards the futures market, and its effect on preferred marketing alternatives. The data cleaning process was done using content validity, confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability test using Cronbach's alpha, and the assumptions of normality and multicollinearity were examined. The data will be of potential use to researchers who wish to explore farmers' behavior towards hedging in the commodity futures market.
商品期货市场在降低参与者的价格风险方面发挥着重要作用。不幸的是，农民参与期货市场的情况，特别是来自泰米尔纳德邦地区的农民，非常少。通过访谈法进行了一项调查，以确定农民在做出定价决策时使用的信息来源、农民对期货市场的认识和看法，以及期货市场对他们偏好的营销选择的影响。数据清理过程采用内容效度、验证性因素分析以及使用克朗巴哈系数进行信度检验，并检验了正态性和多重共线性假设。这些数据对于希望探索农民在商品期货市场中套期保值行为的研究人员可能具有潜在用途。
