The marketing routes of wheat were divided into two types according to the method of sale, which was either sale to the state or sale to wholesalers. The results of the study indicate that the support provided by the state goes 75 %of it to wholesalers in case of going to the course of wholesalers, However, the farmer is forced to conduct this course perhaps because of the routine of procedures and complications, as well as the delay in handing over his financial dues when the farms direct marketing route to the state
