About National Agriculture Market
Launched on 14th April 2016, the “e-National Agriculture Market (e-NAM)” is a pan-India electronic trading platform integrating APMC mandis nationwide under the “One Nation One Market” initiative. The Small Farmers Agribusiness Consortium (SFAC), under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, runs the platform, offering online trading for agricultural commodities, including commodity arrival information, quality assaying, e-bidding, and direct e-payment to farmers through a single window. It aims to improve transparency, efficiency, and price discovery in agricultural marketing. Since May 2020, 11 mandis in Jammu & Kashmir have joined the e-NAM platform.
