## ANSWER

## THEW MINISTER OF STATE FOR AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE क ृ िष एवं िकसान कʞाण राǛ मंũी (SHRI RAMNATH THAKUR)

- (a): Government  reviews  functioning  of  the  National  Agriculture  Market  (e-NAM) platform  from  time  to  time  to  monitor  performance  and  penetration  among  farmers, including  small  and  marginal  farmers.  As  on  31.01.2026,  1.79  crore  farmers  are registered on e-NAM platform, including small holder farmers.
- (b): As of 31.01.2026, 1522 mandis are integrated with e-NAM across 23 States & 4 Union  Territories.  State-wise  volume  of  agricultural  produce  traded  through  e-NAM during the last three financial years is at Annexure.
- (c): e-NAM provides access to markets, real-time price information, facilitates quality assaying of agri-produce and provides infrastructure for cleaning, grading, sorting and packaging. Through the platform, farmers can get information of the e-NAM mandis within the vicinity of 100 km along with route map and prevailing price, enabling farmers to make informed decision to sell their produce. The e-payment system of the platform ensures timely payment to the farmers.  Facilities, such as, online farmer registration, farmgate and direct participation of FPOs, integration with AGMARKNET for price information, and a multilingual mobile application have improved market access and transparency. The eNAM application is available both on web and mobile. A toll-free helpline number (1800270-0224) has been made available to resolve the issues faced by e-NAM users. Two training programmes are conducted annually for all e-NAM mandis for farmers and other stakeholders to promote access to online marketplace. Besides, tutorial videos have also been made available through social media platforms.
