The Union Cabinet on 3 June 2020 approved the Farming Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Ordinance, 2020, which will pave the way for creating 'One India, One Agriculture Market'. Briefing the decisions taken in the Cabinet meeting headed by Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi, Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Mr Narendra Singh Tomar, said the ordinance will create an ecosystem where farmers and traders will enjoy freedom of choice of sale and purchase of agri-produce. The ordinance basically aims at creating additional trading opportunities outside the APMC market yards to help farmers get remunerative prices due to additional competition. The ordinance will certainly pave the way for creating 'One India, One Agriculture Market', according to the Agriculture Ministry.
