## STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  PARTS  (a)  TO  (e)  OF  LOK  SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 299   DUE FOR REPLY ON 6 TH  DECEMBER, 2016.

- (a): The  response  of  the  States  for  integration  of  APMCs  with  States  is  quite encouraging.  Against a target of integration of 200 mandis by 30 th September, 2016; 238  mandis  from  10  States  have  been  integrated  with  e-NAM  platform.  Till  25 th November, 2016, 23.86 lakh MT of agri-commodities worth Rs. 4558 Crore has been traded on e-NAM which indicates a good response from the users.
- (b): Yes,  Madam.  The  e-NAM  aims  at  integrating  the  primary  agricultural  markets (APMCs) both within and across states. The progress will happen in a phased manner. The inter market online trade on the e-NAM platform requires some statutory changes to the APMC act. Department is working on this and a committee has been constituted under the chairman ship of Dr Ashok Gulati to examine the needed changes.
- (c): So far 250 APMCs from 10 States have been integrated with e-NAM platform.
- (d): Details of products presently traded on e-NAM and the total trade turnover so far achieved under e-NAM is provided in Annexure-I.
- (e): Department has so far granted in principle approval for integration of 399 APMCs from 14 States, with e-NAM. It is targeted to achieve integration of a cumulative of 400 mandis  by  March,  2017.  Department  along  with  SFAC  is  closely  monitoring  the progress of implementation.
