New Delhi: Farmers in eight States including UP, Gujarat and Rajasthan, will be able to sell 25 commodities online in 21 wholesale mandis from Thursday – the new platform hopefully fetching them better prices for their produce.

“We have received proposals from 12 States for integration of 365 wholesale mandis. Of these, 21 mandis from eight States have been selected for the pilot launch,” Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh said at a press conference on Wednesday. The other States where the pilot would be launched are Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Jharkhand and Himachal Pradesh.

The Minister said 25 commodities such as onion, potato, apple, wheat, pulses, coarse grains and cotton, among others, have been identified for online trading.

As many as 585 wholesale mandis across the country are expected to be integrated with the national e-agriculture market by March 2018 following which the Centre will allow inter-state sale of agri produce. However, the government will first need to sort out taxation issues.

The electronic launch of NAM portal will be formally done on Thursday by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
