Project Description
AGMARKNET is a comprehensive database which links together all the important agricultural produce markets in the country. It facilitates the generation and transmission of prices and commodity arrival information from agricultural produce markets. It then disseminates this information for the use of producers, consumers, traders and policy makers transparently and quickly.

Project Objectives
Project objectives include the establishment of a nation-wide information network for speedy collection and diffusion of market information, computerization of market related information such as market fees, market charges, etc., ensuring regularity and reliability of data and increasing the efficiency in agricultural markets.

Intended Beneficiaries
The advantages of this database accrue to the farmers as they are not forced to sell their produce in the nearest market at uneconomical prices.

Partners Involved
Launched by the Directorate of Marketing and Inspection (DMI), Ministry of Agriculture AGMARKNET was developed by the NIC.

Impact: Costs and Benefits
Once this project becomes fully operational, it will help farmers, traders and other stakeholders immensely.

Constraints/Challenges
Connectivity in rural areas, training the stakeholders and ensuring data updation in real time-frame.
