Six-State Initiative Aims to Boost Agricultural Trade for Farmers and Consumers

The Chairman of the Haryana State Agriculture Marketing Board, Aditya Devi Lal, has taken a significant step toward creating a unified platform for farmers in Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Goa, Uttarakhand, and Assam.

This plan addresses the big problems farmers deal with. Farmers are often stuck deciding whether to sell their crops for very little in local markets or watch their hard work go to waste because there's not enough demand or help to move it. Therefore people in the six states might soon get access to places where they can store and move their crops to areas where they can sell them for more money.
