3. Initiatives to Fast Track Progress
Weekly VCs with States every Friday

Workshop on assaying held on with States and OEMs
Nodal officers nominated for States and model mandis
WhatsApp groups created with DCs, State Secretary and GOI officers
RKVY funding to be linked to agri-market reforms and eNAM
HP and UK notifying waiver of 50% user charges and 10% mandi fee respectively to incentivize online trading

4. Need for: Real time online bidding Digital payments to farmers
Functioning and integration of assaying lab with bidding
Strengthening infrastructure including connectivity
Issuance of unified license
Mission mode training and awareness programs
Inter mandi trade to graduate to Inter State trade
Model mandis in each State
Establishment of a Unified Agricultural Market

5. Trading Real time online bidding Outcry One to one trade
Trade on eNAM ranges from 0 in JH and AP to 2% in OD, 4% in UK, 5% in MH, 7% in GJ, 9% in HP, 11% in RJ, 14% in HR to 37% in UP, 39% in MP, 63% in CG and 99% in TS
Move from closed tender to open auction
Arrival capture increased but large number of lots not entering the bidding system
Procurement not reflective of the essence of eNAM
Warehouse based sales

6. Assaying
Strengthen and modernize labs for quick, reliable and replicable results
Tradable parameters notified for 90 commodities
Establish acceptance in assaying based bidding in intra mandi scenario
Engage trained manpower in adequate number
May need more than 1 lab depending on peak arrivals
Training in niche commodities like cotton
Accreditation
Referral labs

7. Digital Payments Online payment gateway – miniscule
Bank charges waived off at payment gateway of ICICI Bank - only home branch levying transaction charges
Mission mode registration drive for farmers, traders, CA, processors
Integration of weigh bridges / weigh scales for accurate sale agreements and corresponding digital payments
Chhattisgarh bringing amendment to reduce payment time to 1 day

8. Inter Mandi and Inter State Trade
Assaying is the corner stone
Telengana: Choppadandi, Karimnagar, Mahbubnagar, Badepally, Suryapet, Tirumalgiri, Jangaon
Chhattisgarh: Bhatapara, Durg, Kurud, Dhamtari, Balod, Navapara, Rajnandgaon
Madhya Pradesh: Sehore and Bhopal pilot
UP: Saharanpur and Muzaffarnagar pilot
Inter State – a unified uni-coded license a pre-requisite

3 mandatory pre- requisite reforms in APMC Act
Issue of unified single license for the whole State

Provision for e-trading
States with no APMC Act
- Identify an organization and frame legally enforceable guidelines
