The process of selling agricultural produce for farmers necessitates transporting their goods to the officially designated agricultural produce markets (mandis) or sub-mandis within the state or through a sale agreement.

Farmers must physically bring their yield to the market or, in the case of a sale agreement, present samples to the relevant traders.

This system grants farmers full rights over their crops, alleviates uncertainties associated with mandis, allows for direct sales of produce from their storage facilities or homes, ensures fair pricing for their products, and facilitates immediate payments.

The anticipated outcome of this process includes managing crowds at mandis, enabling 24/7 marketing activities, and saving costs related to transportation, labor, and weighing.

The use of an application for buying and selling will also lead to a reduction in human resource requirements at the mandis.

It is important to note that each step in this process will only be completed following the farmer's consent, adhering strictly to the Madhya Pradesh Agricultural Produce Market Act and its governing rules and provisions.

Marginal farmers or those unable to transport their produce to selling points due to various reasons will have safe and legal means available to sell their products directly from their homes or storage facilities.

Sales transactions conducted via the application will be legally protected under the provisions of the Agricultural Produce Market Act of 1972, allowing for mediation by the relevant mandi committee in case of disputes.

Farmers will have access not only to previously established mandis and defined selling points but also an additional option to sell their produce at their chosen location, time, and price.

The app provides options for purchasing produce from any location within the mandi area.

Marginal traders will also have opportunities to sell their produce, thus expanding their choices compared to traditional methods.

The minimal intervention from mandi officials and staff will facilitate quicker and smoother transactions.

The application offers a safe sales option for farmers unable to transport agricultural goods to designated selling locations.

In contrast to previous trading practices that operated without transparency, regulated transactions under this framework will lead to increased revenue from mandi fees.

This new approach will allow for a comprehensive assessment of the true situation in agricultural marketing across all products and production sectors.
