About A.P.M.C Vadodara

With the noble objective of ensuring a correct Weightment, Maximum price and Cost Payment to farmers, the State government established autonomous bodies called A.P.M.C Vadodara - or Agricultural Produce Market Committees - in various parts of the State. Every A.P.M.C Vadodara is literally a centralized market place - a meeting point for Farmers, Traders and Commission agents. The committee is responsible for providing the required infrastructure as well as preventing unfair trade practices by functionaries.

Traders commission agent A.P.M.C Vadodara regulate the wholesale selling of agricultural produce in their defined area of operation. The aim of regulating the market functioning was to introduce establish an open & transparent trading environment where in the sellers (who are mostly farmers) would bring their agricultural produce in the market to sell in open auctions.

The complete process of such sale including the auction, grading, payment and temporary storage then would be controlled by a regulating body represented by the democratically elected members.

Moreover, even the behaviour of the functionaries operating in the market area would be closely monitored. Updated information about the total inflow of various agricultural commodities, their prices, month-wise demand/supply position would be easily available.

As times have changed and as India moves towards a more liberalized Agric-trade environment, the A.P.M.C Vadodara are also gradually beginning to redefine their objective as facilitators of trade. Thus, some of them such as the Vadodara A.P.M.C Vadodara have taken the lead in establishing modern infrastructure and facilities, offering export guidance and support and so on.
