Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC)

The Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) is a regulatory framework in India designed to promote agricultural marketing. Established by state governments, APMCs facilitate the sale of agricultural produce by organizing markets where farmers can directly sell their crops to licensed traders. This system aims to ensure fair prices for farmers, prevent exploitation, and create a structured marketplace for produce. APMCs also regulate market practices, including pricing and transactions, helping to provide transparency and stability in agricultural trade. Overall, APMCs play a crucial role in enhancing the income of farmers and improving the agricultural economy.
