    It would act as the REPORTING TOOL which would help us in gauging the desired outcome- Proper market and fair price It is a policy tool that can guide evidence-based planning and action to address issues identified as important by the farmers, traders and wholesaler If the stakeholders are informed, it would help in building and strengthening democracy

    Policy Lacunae
    Facilitating a supply chain with a large number of intermediaries, thereby reducing the profitability of agriculture Reducing scope for competition due to the licensing regime adopted APMC laws are inadvertently promoting use of intermediaries by not permitting trade outside the market yards

    Samrakha APMC Operations


    The shopkeepers in the APMC market who are agents negotiate the price with the retailers and large wholesalers who purchase from the market. Open auction takes place in the presence of the farmer, trader and the wholesaler/retailer. The auction and the transaction are complete only if the negotiated price is acceptable to the farmer. Trader gets his commission @5% from the retailer/wholesaler.

    Samrakha APMC Operations


    The agent also charges a 1% commission from the wholesaler and this is deposited as market fees. More bargaining power lies with trader and an informal cartel has developed among them The factors that play an important role in determining the price of vegetables brought in the mandi- demand, supply and quality of the produce. The APMC market allows the farmer to sell his produce in bulk at the same time.

    Samrakha APMC Operations


    No formal mechanism of sorting or grading. If farmer is not satisfied with the price offered, he has the option of selling elsewhere or he is also provided space in the APMC market free of cost to sell on his own

    Samrakha APMC - Issues


    Though there is provision for cold storage, APMC has not constructed one as they are not to willing to take responsibility to run the cold storage facility There is no system of display of prices as it is felt that this might lead to excessive supply of commodities which they cant handle The unloading charge(Hammali) has to be borne by the farmer even though in the act it is stated that it has to borne by the trader There is wastage of vegetables due to improper infrastructure. 30-35 bags of onions were wasted in 15 days due to fans not working properly Computerized records are not maintained for transactions and prices Due to lack of standardized weighing machines, weighing error occurs.

    Reflections
    APMC act in some ways restrict the choices for the farmer The licensing fees and other costs borne by the traders are partially passed on to the farmers Trader/commission agent plays a vital role and it is difficult to eliminate him from the supply chain APMC staff is responsive to farmers grievances and the farmer can directly approach the APMC office for their issues Chances of corruption with contract farming being allowed under the new act as the contracts have to be registered with the Committee Absence of horizontal networks and dependency for farmers still prevails

    Role of the State


    Maharashtra government has launched-GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACTION PLAN (GAAP) -Regular reporting to higher authority -Monitoring by Civil society / Beneficiary Organization -Complaint handling mechanisms Feedback from bidding firms-provide valuable insights into the behavior of the implementing agencies during the procurement process. For this reason, feedback from rejected bidders, as also from reputed firms that chose not to bid for supply, construction, or other contracts in the project would be invited. The State should focus on getting the infrastructure and institutions in place and provide competitive environment to enable farmers to exercise choice
