Page 21 - Putting Farmers First

If farmers find buyers willing to buy from
them at their own doorstep, they can sell
to them. They also have a legal framework
protecting their rights when they do so. This
saves farmers time, money and effort.

Development of infrastructure close to
their own farms will reduce post-harvest
losses and improve income through greater
linkages to markets in food processing, retail,
and exports.

This will also lead to the development of
better price discovery mechanisms for
farmers, leading to better price for their
produce.

eNAM can finally fulfil its potential of serving
as the national platform for electronic
trading in agriculture produce.
