Mandi System

The Mandi System refers to the marketplace framework in India where agricultural products are bought and sold. Farmers bring their produce to designated markets called "mandis," where traders and wholesalers purchase the goods. This system helps ensure price transparency and offers a platform for farmers to access a larger buyer base. However, it can also lead to challenges such as exploitation by middlemen and price fluctuations. Although the Mandi System plays a crucial role in the agricultural economy, ongoing reforms aim to improve its efficiency and fairness for farmers.
