Maharashtra Agricultural Produce Marketing Act

The Maharashtra Agricultural Produce Marketing Act establishes regulated markets, known as "mandis," where farmers can sell their produce. It aims to ensure fair prices, reduce exploitation, and organize agricultural trade efficiently. The Act sets rules for market functioning, licensing of traders, and quality standards, providing a transparent and standardized place for buying and selling crops. It also promotes infrastructure development and fair dispute resolution, helping farmers get better prices and safeguarding their interests within a structured marketplace system.
