## AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE AND MARKET COMMITTEE

5121.  PROF. SADHU SINGH:

Will the Minister of AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंी be pleased to state:

- (a) whether the Agricultural Produce and Market Committee (APMC) has become a hub for cartels that rig the system to offer lower prices to farmers while driving up prices for consumers in the country;

- (c) whether the revised model of contract farming will give cultivators a ready market without the oversight of APMC system and if so, the details thereof?

## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंालय म राय मंी (SHRI PARSHOTTAM RUPALA)

- (a) & (b): Agriculture  Marketing  is  State  Subject  as  per  Constitution  of  India.    Agricultural Produce  Market  Committees  (APMCs),  administered  under  State  APMC  regulations,  have attained  monopolistic  approach  over  period  of  time  with  dominance  of  multiple  market functionaries  and  operations  with  conflicting  interest,  leading  to  reduced  competition  which results into high marketing cost and margin with less realization to the farmers for their produce.
- (c): The  Government  is  formulating  a  progressive,  holistic  and  facilitative  Model  Contract Farming Act.  Under the draft Model Act, provisions have been made inter-alia for integrating food processors with farmers with an aim to ensure better price realization to the farmers for their  produce  besides  reducing  post-harvest  losses,  and  incentivising  the  private  sector processors to invest in processing activities.

The draft Act is in the final stage of its drafting.  Comments of various stakeholders have been  solicited  on  the  draft  Model  Contract  Farming  Act  including  placing  it  on  the  website inviting comments of the public.
