Agriculture produce worth Rs 91,000 crore has been traded through the e-National Agriculture Market (e-NAM) platform so far and the figure will soon reach Rs 1 lakh crore, the government said on Tuesday.
The agriculture ministry on Tuesday organised the first national consultative workshop on strengthening agri-logistics in e-Nam here.
At present, 585 mandies (agri-markets) across 16 states and two Union Territories have been integrated on the e-platform. It is expected that 415 other mandis will soon be integrated.
"On this portal more than 1.65 crore farmers and 1.27 lakh traders have registered. Through this platform trading of Rs 91,000 crore has already taken place and in the near future it is expected to reach 1 lakh crores," an official statement said.
Speaking on the occasion, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said, "Agriculture is very important for the country as there is a large population engaged in agriculture."
