10. e-NAM Electronic trading, sometimes known as etrading, is a method of trading securities,foreign exchange or financial derivatives electronically. National Agriculture Market(NAM) is a pan-India electronic trading portal which networks the existing APMC mandis to create a unified national market for agricultural commodities. The NAM Portal provides a single window service for all APMC related information and services. This includes commodity arrivals & prices, buy & sell trade offers, provision to respond to trade offers among other services. An online market reduces transaction costs and information asymmetry. They include various exchange-based systems, such as NASDAQ, NYSE Arca and Globex, as well as other types of trading platforms, such as electronic communication networks(ECNs), alternative trading systems, crossing networks and “dark pools”. Electronic trading is rapidly replacing human trading in global securities markets.

11. How e-NAM can promote the warehousing sector It is expected that participants across the nation will trade on the e-NAM platform and that the prices of agricultural produce will be determined based on wider demand and supply perspectives while reducing the number of intermediaries. The buyer has to have adequate logistical support to get the produce delivered to him. Under the prevalent practice at APMCs, farmers bring their produce and once the price is determined after auction, delivery takes place immediately. But in case of e-NAM, since the buyer may be participating from a distant location and the auction will decide from which APMC the produce will be bought, getting it delivered will be a limiting factor. The concept of Warehouse Based Sell(WBS) is a potential solution to overcome such an issue and hence, a determining factor for the success of e-NAM. This system of WBS is already in practice in the country and is followed mainly by commodity exchanges. Except Karnataka, no State has notified the warehouse as a component of market.

12. Stakeholders Farmers NAM promises more options for selling produce and making competitive returns. Traders NAM will provide access to larger national market for secondary trading. Buyers, Processers & Exporters NAM will enable direct participation in the local mandi trade, reducing intermediation cost.

13. e- mandi System Online e- mandi System Online System for Agricultural Marketing Activities ( Ver 1.0 Dated: 02.06.2009) The Department of Agricultural Marketing (DAM) had requested the NIC for the design and development of software for activities of Agricultural Produces Marketing Committee (APMC). After studying the requirements and activities in the APMC, National Informatics Centre (NIC), Karnataka had developed the etendering application in 2006 to automate the process of tendering of farmers’ agricultural produces in the APMC. Subsequently, this system is improved and called as e- mandi system, which captures all the activities of the APMC, from ingate entry to out-gate entry including tendering, billing, DCB preparation.
