OBJECTIVES
ndian agriculture is going through a very
dynamic phase, and with Government of India's
every effort focused towards creating the next leg of
Green revolution, next ten years for farm sector is
going to be very exciting. Though, Indian economy got
liberalized in 1991, its agriculture has not been lucky
enough, and now is the right time for the Government
to unshackle the agriculture sector from traditional
policies and overhaul the entire system to take the agri
growth to next level, and give our farmers much
needed motivation to remain in this sector and feed
the population of 1.2 billion.
Linking Farmers with Markets through National
Agriculture Market (NAM)initiative, and other
initiatives in the field of logistics, warehousing, testing
etc. is a progressive step by the center. The NAM Portal
provides a single window service for all APMC related
information and services. The existing agricultural
marketing regulations make it very difficult for
farmers to sell directly in the market. NAM addresses
these challenges by creating a unified market through
online trading platform, both, at State and National
level and promotes transparency and
uniformity.Integration of the old system with new, will
be a daunting task for all the stakeholders. Creating
convergence in the agricultural marketing value chain
such as eNAM, NCDEX, farmers, APMCs etc. is a need of
the hour to complete the flow of commodities from the
place of origin to the place of consumption.
To address this subject matter of immense importance,
ASSOCHAM is holding a Conference on “Linking
Farmers with Market”, to facilitate all the stakeholders
to come at one platform and brainstorm ways to
promote national agriculture market.
