Bhopal, Jun 27 (KNN) To give a boost to agri -processing, the Madhya Pradesh Government plans to develop cold line and integrated pack house projects at Krishi Upaj Mandi yards in different parts of the state.
The project will be implemented by Madhya Pradesh State Agricultural Marketing Board (MPSAMB).
MPSAMB intends to implement the project in Krishi Upaj Mandi yards Burhanpur and Anjad’s Sub-mandi-Barufatak and other yards wherever needed in Madhya Pradesh, an official notification said.
In this context, the Board is keen to appoint consultants with experience in such projects.
Approximately 49.03 per cent of the geographical area of Madhya Pradesh is under cultivation. Of the total gross cropped area, cereals covers 38 per cent, pulses 22 per cent and oilseed 31 per cent while the remaining is covered by cotton, sugarcane, vegetables, fruit, fodder and medicinal crops.
In Madhya Pradesh regulatory framework for agricultural marketing is unique and consists of two distinct set of measures. One of these is development and regulation of primary markets, popularly called "Regulated Markets" and the second set is the regulation of market through a series of legal instruments.
Regulation of primary markets was taken up as an institutional innovation and construction of well laid-out market yard was considered as an essential requirement of effective implementation of the regulation programme.
Further in accordance with the recommendations of the National Agriculture Commission, the M.P. State Agricultural Marketing Board i.e. MPSAMB (also known as Mandi Board) has come into existence w.e.f 1973 under the provisions of M.P. Krishi Upaj Mandi Adhiniyam 1972.
The Mandi Board has under its purview regulated markets which are the first contact point for farmers to encash their farm marketable surpluses.
Presently in the state there are a total of 543 regulated markets of which 251 are main wholesale markets having elaborate infrastructure also known as Krishi Upaj Mandi and the balance 292 having lower level of infrastructure known as Sub Mandi.
In addition to these there are haat bazars in the rural areas where farmers and other people congregate periodically to sell their farm marketable surpluses and buy their essential requirements. These haats have not been provided the needed physical infrastructure so far. For administrative purpose Sub Mandies are controlled by the respective Krishi Upaj Mandi of the area. (KNN/ES)
