Now we talk about the latest AGRICULTURE reforms in India and how it's likely to change Indian agriculture forever. The Story. The history of Agriculture in India dates back to Indus Valley Civilization and even before that in some places of Southern India. India ranks second worldwide in farm outputs. As per 2018, agriculture employed more than 50℅ of the Indian workforce and contributed 17–18% to the country's GDP. But Selling agriculture produce is hard. You can’t sell this stuff to end consumers directly. Instead, you’re expected to sell the product in your designated “market area”/mandi. The mandis, in turn, are regulated by the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) comprising of local farmers, government representatives, and agri-commodity traders. Once you make your way to the mandi, you get in touch with your agent, who helps you clean, sort, and organize your produce. He then takes the end product to the auctioneer who puts it on display.
