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.
