The Department of
Agriculture and Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture organized a Workshop on
“Agricultural Marketing Reforms and Promotion of E-Marketing” here today. The
Department has for a long time now been pursuing the States and Union
Territories to reform their respective Agri market regulations in order to
foster a more conducive and competitive environment which not only incentivises
the farmers through effective market linkages but by shortening and
strengthening the supply chain can ensure sustainable supplies to consumers as
well, at reasonable rates.
Invitees from 23 States
and Union Territories participated in the workshop which deliberated on status
of implementation of agri market reforms in states and the need to implement
the reforms quickly. Two key reform areas focused for discussion in the workshop
were those of E marketing and Kisan Mandis. The State Governments promised to
explore the scope for adopting such options in their respective states.
