National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED)

The National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED) is a government-supported organization that helps farmers sell their produce more effectively. It acts as a middleman, purchasing fruits, vegetables, and other crops from farmers at fair prices and distributing them to markets, retail stores, and consumers. By doing so, NAFED aims to reduce unnecessary middlemen costs, ensure farmers receive better income, and provide consumers with quality agricultural products at reasonable prices. Essentially, NAFED promotes cooperative marketing to support farmers and stabilize agricultural markets across India.
