Generally, farmers do not have many options to sell their products and are forced to sell their produce in government mandis. The Government of Madhya Pradesh understood this problem of farmers and has cleared the way to open private mandis in the state.

In this regard, the Chief Minister of the state Shivraj Singh Chauhan has announced that “Now exporters, traders, food processors, etc. can open private mandis and go to the farmer’s land or their home and buy agricultural produce.” Explain that the purpose of this amendment in the mandi rules is to provide better prices to farmers and the freedom to sell their products as per their wish.

The Chief Minister said that with just one license such a private mandi can be eligible for buying the produce of farmers. After that, they will be able to buy from the whole state. After this decision, farmers in Madhya Pradesh will now have more options to sell their products and for this, they will not have to go round the market.
