The government on Thursday (2nd April 2020) added two new features on the electronic national agriculture market, also known as e-NAM platform so as to make it more convenient for growers to sell their produce at warehouses & collection centres established by farmer producer organizations (FPOs). The move is aimed at decongesting mandis as well as maintaining supply chains of vegetables and fruits. Narendra Singh Tomar, Agriculture minister launched the new features of e-NAM that will strengthen agriculture marketing & reduce the need for cultivators to physically come to the mandis to sell their produce. The warehouse-based trading module in the e-NAM software would facilitate trading from the premises of warehouses, which will be based on negotiable warehouse receipts in electronic form or e-NWR whereas the other module will allow growers get access to the e-NAM platform from the collection centers of FPOs.
