Agricultural Produce Market Committee (Maharashtra)

The Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) in Maharashtra is a regulatory body that oversees designated wholesale markets, called mandis, where farmers sell their agricultural produce. Its primary role is to ensure fair trading practices, regulate prices, and facilitate transparent transactions between farmers and traders. The APMC sets rules for buying and selling, ensures quality standards, and aims to protect farmers’ interests while preventing unfair practices. It acts as an intermediary that helps streamline the marketing process, ultimately aiming to provide farmers with better prices and reliable market access.
