Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh today said farmers are not getting right price in view of bumper crop, but the government is making speedy efforts to reform agri-markets and ensure better realisation for growers. It is true that farmers are not getting right price for their produce," Singh said at a Ficci event on smart agri-marketing. So, we have come out with a model law on agricultural marketing. It also proposes to cap market fees and commission charges payable by a farmer after bringing produce to a wholesale market, and help create a national market with provisions for an inter-state trading licence. Singh said the state governments have been asked to amend their mandi laws according to the model law.
