2021-02-05 09:10:44 Article from PIB on Electronic National Agriculture Market (e-NAM).

1) Earlier, To sell agri produce throuh e-NAM, farmers had to take their produce to APMC mandis and then log in to the electronic platform and sell BUT now it can be sold from FPO collection centres and WDRA registered warehouses also by log in through e-NAM (this was done in April 2020). But still the farmers cannot sell their produce sitting at home (with their produce stocked at home) through e-NAM, this may be done in a year or so.

2) Logistics services has also been integrated with e-NAM for transporting the agri produce and their are various other services which are also being integrated like QC services, transportation & delivery services, sorting/grading services, packaging services, insurance, trade finance, warehouses etc. through the e-NAM platform.

3) Before e-NAM was launched, Karnataka had already a developed electronic platform for sale of agri produce and now that ReMS platform of Govt. of Karnataka is also being integrated with e-NAM
