The Government will cover as many as 585 agricultural markets electronically by the next year, as per information provided by Agriculture Secretary Shobhana K Pattanayak. This step will allow farmers to sell their produce anywhere in the country. The government had launched the project on a pilot basis, on April 14, beginning with 21 markets covering eight states.
The government expects agriculture sector in India needs to be part of the global value chain in order to make it more attractive. The opening of foreign direct investment in retail will make farmers suppliers of the food chain and give them more assured returns.
Besides, the government strongly feels that doubling farmers’ income in the next six years is possible.
