Agriculture Market Committee (AMC)

An Agriculture Market Committee (AMC) is a local government body in India that regulates the buying and selling of agricultural produce. It oversees a designated market area, called a mandi, ensuring fair trade practices, proper weighing, and quality standards. AMCs facilitate the smooth functioning of agricultural markets, support farmers by securing fair prices, and promote transparency. They are funded through mandi fees and government grants, playing a vital role in supporting farmers’ livelihoods and maintaining efficient agricultural trade at the regional level.
