eNAM Portal
- The eNAM portal was launched by the Central Government in April 2016.
- E-NAM is a pan India e-trading platform. It has been created with the aim of creating a unified national market for agricultural products.
- Under this, farmers can sell their produce online from their nearest market and traders can pay for their produce from anywhere.
- As a result, the number of traders will increase, which will also increase competition.
- Through this, prices can be determined well and farmers will get a fair price for their produce.
- Currently, 150 commodities including food grains, oilseeds, fibres, vegetables and fruits are being traded on the e-NAM portal. Also, more than 1,005 'Farmer Producer Organizations' are registered on it.
