The Garo had markets since the Mughal rule, mostly situated
in border areas. Under British rule, roads were built and markets opened up in the
interior. During the colonial period, exchanges based on barter gradually changed to those
based on money. This change had profound social consequences, including the demise of the
corporate household. Garo mostly sell agricultural crops and buy consumer goods. The terms
of trade goes against Garo producers.
