9.       Marketing Extension;

 

1.     STANDARDISATION AND GRADING OF AGRICULTURAL AND ALLIED PRODUCE (NON-PLAN):

 

Quality standards for agricultural commodities are framed based on their intrinsic quality.  Food safety factors are being incorporated in the standards to compete in World trade.  Standards are being harmonised with international standards keeping in view the WTO requirements.  Certification of agricultural commodities is carried out for the benefit of producer/manufacturer and consumer.  Certification of adulteration prone commodities viz. Butter, Ghee, Vegetable Oils, Ground-Spices, Honey, Wheat Atta etc. is very popular.  Blended Edible Vegetable Oils and Fat Spread are compulsorily required to be certified under Agmark. 

 

          The Certification mark under the Agricultural Produce (Grading & Marking) Act is popularly known as "AGMARK".  Grading is carried out  in  accordance with  the  standards  notified,   following  meticulous  procedure  of sampling,  testing,  packaging,  marking  and   sealing  as  per   the instructions  issued under the Act and Rules. 

 

 

 

1. 1     FORMULATION OF GRADE STANDARDS:

 

          Agricultural Produce (Grading & Marking) Act, 1937 empowers the Central Government to frame grade standards for agricultural produce.   The DMI has formulated Agmark standards for 181 agricultural and allied commodities.  Standards framed under the provisions of the Act are popularly known as AGMARK standards.   The standards are framed in a scientific manner.  A sampling plan is first drawn for collecting adequate number of representative samples of the concerned commodity from different producing areas and assembling centers over a period of time.  These samples are analyzed in various Regional Agmark Laboratories for various physical and chemical parameters.  On the basis of analytical data generated, grade standards are formulated keeping in view the standards framed under the provisions of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954. 

 

1.2     GRADING OF AGRICULTURAL         COMMODITIES:

 

          The grading activities are directed specifically for the benefit of farmers and consumers, while they also help the traders in efficient movement of the produce from the producers to the consumers. Promotion of standardization and grading of agricultural and allied produce is one of the important activities of the Directorate of Marketing & Inspection. The Directorate promotes standardization and grading and implements scheme of certification of agricultural and allied products for orderly marketing under the provisions of Agricultural Produce (Grading & Marking) Act, 1937 as amended in 1986.  The Certification mark under the Act is popularly known as ‘AGMARK’. Grading is carried out in accordance with the standards notified, following meticulous procedure of sampling, testing, packaging, marking and sealing as per the instructions issued under the provisions of the Act and Rules.  It serves as a means of describing the quality of commodities to be purchased or sold by the buyers or sellers all over the country and abroad.  This establishes a common trade language and avoids the need for physical checking and handling at many points.  The system of grading and certification benefits both the sellers and buyers in view of the fact that the producer gets price commensurate with the quality produced by him and consumer gets a quality product. Grading and certification activities can be broadly classified into -

(i)                Grading for Internal Trade

(ii)              Grading for Export

(iii)            Grading at Producers’ level.

 

 

1.2.1  Grading for Internal Trade:

 

Grading of agricultural commodities for internal trade is voluntary in nature and is carried out under the provisions of Agricultural Produce (Grading & Marking) Act, 1937. However, as per provision in Prevention of Food Adulteration Rules, 1955 certification of blended edible vegetable oils and fat spread is compulsory under Agmark for internal trade.  The commodities graded under ‘AGMARK’ for internal trade are classified into two groups; viz. decentralized commodities and centralized commodities.  Decentralised commodities include those items which do not require elaborate testing facilities. Assessment of their purity and determination of grade is mostly done on the basis of physical factors or relatively simple tests.  Decentralised commodities include wheat, rice and other cereals, oilseeds, edible nuts, fibre crops, fruit and vegetables etc.  This programme is being implemented through the Marketing Departments of the concerned State Governments under the guidance of the Directorate of Marketing and Inspection.  Certain powers such as renewal of Certificate of Authorisation, drawl of check samples, etc. under the provisions of General Grading & Marking Rules, 1988 have also been delegated to Officers of States/ UTs.  for grading of decentralized commodities. 

 

          The commodities which require elaborate testing arrangements for assessment of quality and determination of grade, are classified as centralised commodities.  These include ghee, butter, vegetable oils, oil cakes, powdered spices, honey, wheat Atta, Besan etc.  These require elaborate testing for chemical parameters.  The commodities are tested by the authorized packers in primary grading laboratories for various prescribed parameters and grades are assigned as per the analytical results.  Packers/ manufacturers who can not establish their own laboratories because of cost involved and recurring expenditure, get themselves attached with State Grading Laboratories (SGLs)/ cooperative/ commercial laboratories. 

 

1.2.2  Grading for Export:

 

The Export (Quality Control & Inspection) Act, 1963 is administered by the Ministry of Commerce.  The Act empowers the Government to

 

·        Notify commodities which will be subject to quality control and/or inspection prior to export,

·        Establish standards of quality for such notified commodities, and

·        Specify the type of quality control and/or inspection to be applied to such commodities.

 

 

In view of economic reforms initiated by the Government of India in early 1990s, the operation of compulsory quality control and inspection for export commodities had been simplified.  The following steps initiated at the time continued to be operative.

 

·        State Trading Houses, Trading Houses, Export Houses as well as Industrial Units in Export Processing Zones and 100% Export Oriented Units have been exempted from the purview of compulsory pre shipment Inspection.

·        Units approved by EIAs under the system of In-process Quality Control (IPQC) have been authorized to issue statutory certificates by themselves.

·        Items which were hitherto subjected to compulsory pre shipment inspection have been exempted from the same, provided the exporter has a firm letter from the overseas buyer stating that the overseas buyer does not require preshipment inspection from any official Indian inspection agencies.

 

          Fish and fishery products, honey, egg products, milk and milk products, black pepper for USA, Basmati rice for EU have been notified for compulsory preshipment inspection and certification. 

 

          DMI has attended to certification of grapes during this year from different centers in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.  

 

 

 

 

1.2.3  Grading at Producers’ Level:

 

          For securing adequate return to the producer-sellers, a scheme of Grading at the Producers’ Level by establishing grading units in Regulated markets and Marketing Cooperatives was introduced.  The main objective of the scheme is to subject the produce to simple tests, and assign a grade before it is offered for sale.  Grading helps the producer to get price commensurate with the quality of his produce.  Cereals, pulses, oilseeds, spices, fruit and vegetables, fibres, arecanut, coconut and tobacco are some of the important commodities graded under this programme.  The scheme is being implemented by the States/ UTs.

 

1.3     NETWORK OF AGMARK LABORATORIES:

 

          Directorate of Marketing & Inspection has set up 16 Regional Agmark Laboratories (RALs) spread all over the country with Central Agmark Laboratory at Nagpur as the apex laboratory.  These RALs have the mandate to;

(i)                analyse research samples of agricultural commodities for framing their standards and

(ii)              analyse check samples drawn under Agmark Certification Programme.  

 

                       

 

2.      MARKETING RESEARCH, SURVEYS AND PLANNING:

 

Right from its inception, DMI has been undertaking commodity marketing surveys and in-depth studies of marketing system in respect of various agricultural commodities in the country.  Problem-oriented studies are also undertaken and technical guidance is rendered to State Governments.

 

2.1     Market Research and Planning:

 

At the outset guidelines, questionnaires/ schedules and synopses are prepared and issued to field offices for collection of data.  The field surveys are conducted at the important centres spread over the entire country. The analysis and interpretation of data is done by using percentage indices, averages, variance, standard deviation correlation, regression   trends and forecasting tools/ techniques. The report is prepared in an organized form which includes introduction, methodology, findings, summary, conclusion and recommendation.  Based on these studies/ surveys, a large number of marketing reports have been published by the Directorate.  These reports help planners and policy makers to formulate various schemes/ programmes from time to time for development of agricultural marketing system in the country. The important suggestions/ recommendations are also made on the basis of findings of these reports for the benefits of agriculturists, agri-business dealers and consumers. 

 

2.2     Marketable Surplus and Post-Harvest Losses:

 

The Directorate is also implementing a scheme for Estimation of Marketable Surplus and Post-Harvest Losses of Foodgrains.  It aims at finding out the quantum of marketable surplus and post-harvest losses to pin point the causes of losses and to suggest remedial measures, besides generating data for various user agencies. 

 

2.3     Research Grants:

 

With a view to attract private and autonomous sector talent, the DMI has provided Research Grants to eminent scholars, institutions for undertaking research studies to identify specific problems & constraints in various areas of agricultural marketing and suggest remedial The financial assistance was provided in the form of grant-in-aid.  33 such projects were sanctioned.  Out of them reports on 32 projects have been received and published. 

 

2.4     Under the Xth Five Year Plan the three schemes i) Market Information Network ii) Marketable Surplus and Post-harvest Losses of Foodgrains and iii) Research Grants Scheme have been amalgamated under one scheme namely “Market Research and Information Network”.  Under the new scheme the Directorate has undertaken the preparation of following commodity profiles:

 

i)     Post harvest profile of Paddy/ Rice

ii)    Post harvest profile of Red Gram

iii)   Post harvest profile of Bengal Gram

iv)   Post harvest profile of Soyabean

v)    Post harvest profile of Mustard- Rape seed

vi)   Post harvest profile of Wheat

vii)  Post harvest profile of Groundnut

 

            Out of these profiles Paddy/ Rice, Bengal Gram, Soyabean, Red Gram and Mustard- Rape seed have been uploaded on Agmark net portal and are in public domain can be accessed from http://agmarknet.nic.in.

 

 

 

3.       AGRICULTURAL MARKETING REFORMS:

 

i)       Model Act on Agricultural Marketing:   This Ministry has formulated a ‘Model Act’ on agricultural marketing in order to assist the States in removing barriers, whether legal or policy induced, which introduce inefficiencies and monopoly rents in the functioning of agricultural markets. The Model Act enables any person, grower or local authority to establish new markets in any area, removes compulsion on growers to sell their produce through existing regulated markets, allows establishment of direct purchase centers and Farmers Markets for direct sale, promote Public Private Partnership in management and development of markets, establish Special markets for commodities like Onions, Fruits, Vegetables, Flowers etc.

         

ii)      Contract Farming:           In the wake of economic liberalization, the concept of contract farming in which national or multinational companies enter into contracts for marketing of agricultural and horticultural produce and also provide technologies and capital to contract farmers has gained importance. 

 

          Model specifications of contract farming agreement and supporting legislation requiring amendment to the State Acts dealing with agricultural marketing has been formulated and the same sent to State Governments/ UTs for necessary action. 

 

 

4.       MARKETING RESEARCH AND INFORMATION NETWORK:

 

4.1     The Marketing Research and Information Network Scheme viz. AGMARKNET is being implemented by the Department for electronic networking of agricultural produce wholesale markets in the country for collection and dissemination of price and market related information. The scheme was launched in the year 2000-01.

 

4.2     Price related Information:  Information on price of agricultural commodities is collected by Auction Officers in the mandi through the process of auction that takes place from early in the morning and goes up to lunchtime.  The data is usually sent by e-mail from the mandi in the afternoon indicating the day’s minimum price of the commodity, the maximum price and the modal price, i.e. the price at which the maximum sales have taken place.  The quantity of arrivals is also reported.  E-mail from all the markets are compiled in the DMI/NIC Headquarter and after verification uploaded on the portal.  Information on the portal is in public domain and can be accessed freely.  As on date, price information in respect of more than 300 commodities and 2000 varieties are reported on the portal.

 

 

4.3     Market related information:  In addition to price, several other markets related information is provided on the portal.  These relate to accepted standards of grades, labeling, sanitary and phyto-sanitary requirements, physical infrastructure of storage and warehousing, marketing laws, fees payable etc. Efforts are on to prepare a national atlas of agricultural markets on a GIS Platform that would indicate the availability of entire marketing infrastructure in the country including storage, cold storage, markets and related infrastructure.  Similarly commodity profiles indicating the post harvest requirements of important commodities in terms of quality, packing, standards, etc. are being loaded on to the portal.  Commodities already covered include Rice, Bengal Gram, Red Gram and Mustard/Rapeseed.             

 

 

4.4     Establishment of Computing and Networking Facilities:

 

Each market node is provided with a Personal Computer, a printer, a UPS system for power backup and a modem. The markets are connected to internet through dial-up modem. The   State Marketing Boards/ Directorates and Directorate of Marketing and Inspection (DMI) offices spread all over the country have also been connected.  V-SAT based communication system has been established at DMI Headquarters, Faridabad to facilitate co-ordination with several participating markets.

 

4.5     Development of Human Resource:

 

About 1500 officials of the market committees have been provided necessary IT training under the project so far covering the basic operations of computers, application software for data entry and usage of internet and e-mail.  The training has been conducted with the support of NIC state/district units. Wherever necessary, onsite training has also been arranged. Refresher training programmes have also been conducted wherever required.

 

4.6     Application and Database Development:

 

A market level application software AGMARK has been developed to facilitate data entry of prices and arrivals, local database creation and information transmission. A comprehensive national database has been developed. The database is growing exponentially with daily prices and arrivals information being received from markets spread all over the country. Weekly and Monthly National price bulletins are being generated using the database.

 

Data is received from markets through e-mail in the form of structured attachments generated through the AGMARK software. The text files are automatically uploaded (through a software module) onto the web enabled national database, after verification by DMI, twice a day (in the afternoon and evening) except on market/ public holidays. About 770 markets are reporting data to the portal.

 

 

4.7     Portal on Market Information:

 

A portal has been developed to facilitate dissemination of market-wise prices of various commodities and other agricultural marketing related information as a single window service. The portal has linkage with various organizations concerned with agricultural marketing. Any market can now easily access prices of other markets through the agmarknet portal. The farmers visiting the markets can be timely informed by the market officials about prevailing prices in other markets. The portal provides access to daily, future, minimum support prices and international commodity prices from FAO website. The quantity of arrivals is also reported.

 

          In addition to prices, several other markets related information as mentioned earlier is being provided on the portal. The portal is constantly being enriched.  An e-directory of markets is gradually being evolved over the portal. Information on prices and arrivals is now accessible in Hindi, Gurumukhi and Telugu, besides English.  Efforts are on to facilitate dissemination in other major local languages also. The commodity prices and arrivals information available on portals of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra are also integrated with AGMARKNET portal.

 

 

 

5.       PROMOTION OF COLD STORAGE:

 

For preservation of perishable produce like fruits and vegetables, cold storages and cold chain linkage play an important role for increasing the shelf life of produce.  For proper development of cold storages and ensuring proper refrigeration condition two pronged approach was adopted through Regulation and Promotional activities.  During 1997, the regulation aspect was discontinued to attract more private investment in cold storage industry.  In 1999, on the recommendation of the High Level Expert Committee on storage and cold storage a capital investment subsidy scheme for construction/ expansion/ modernization of cold storage was introduced.  Fund is released by National Horticulture Board through NABARD. 

 

6.       GRAMIN BHANDARAN YOJNA:
