In the country, millions of farmers are involved in agriculture, cultivating a variety of crops. However, they encounter numerous challenges during this process, including safeguarding crops from weather impacts and ensuring their transportation to the market. Farmers often seek information on market rates for different crops. In this context, farmers have various options to stay informed about crop market rates.
Farmers are now adept at using mobile phones. Mobile applications play a crucial role in helping them understand market rates. Farmers can join agricultural business communities on platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook, where they receive daily updates on market rates. These groups comprise different traders from various markets who regularly share pictures and rates of their products.
For farmers convenience, the E-NAM portal, launched by the Indian government in 2016, provides an online marketplace for selling produce. Through this portal, farmers can sell their crops online. If you're a farmer, you can visit the e-NAM website, navigate to the AGMARKET section, and check rates for market produce from registered markets.
Beejak App: To assist farmers, there is the 'Beejak' app, connecting buyers and sellers of agricultural products. It ensures that both parties obtain fruits, vegetables, etc., at better prices. Through this app, farmers can secure improved prices for their produce. Moreover, the 'Beejak' app, India's most reliable agri-trading app, is now integrated with e-NAM.
Overview of the Beejak App: Beejak is designed to support farmers by connecting buyers and sellers of agricultural products. It facilitates better prices for fruits, vegetables, and more for both buyers and sellers. Additionally, Beejak has entered into agreements with several financial institutions, including banks and NBFIs, further enhancing the available facilities for farmers in the future.
