Question 56. Consider the following statements regarding electronic National Agriculture Market (e-NAM)
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
- It will ensure that the people get the agri-commodities at the same price over the entire country
- Farmers can sell their agri-produce through e-NAM sitting at their homes without bringing it in the physical APMC mandis
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Answer: Option D. -> Neither (i) nor (ii)
Answer: (d)
In an e-NAM sales, traders from all over India could bid and whoever quotes the highest price, the farmer can sell his produce to that trader (it may be across the state).
Then farmer will receive the payment in his account and then only the trader can take the physical product from the mandi. The transportation charge will be on the trader's account.
(Because of the transportation cost involved, e-NAM would not be able to ensure that the people get the agro commodity at the same price across the country. E-NAM will help that the farmers get the same price across different mandis).
Even if a farmer wants to sell his products online through e-NAM, presently, he needs to take the product in physical APMC mandi and then log in to the online portal. Govt is working on the modalities so that the farmers will be able to sell their produce online sitting at their home through their mobile with their physical produce at home, but it may take a year or more.
But on 2nd April 2020, new features were enabled in e-NAM through which:
Farmers stocking their produce in registered warehouses and having Electronic Negotiable Warehouse Receipts (e-NWR), will be able to trade on e-NAM without physically bringing their produce in the APMC mandis.
FPOs can trade their produce on e-NAM, from their collection centre without bringing the produce to APMC mandi.
