Market Access Schemes

Selling at a fair price is as important as growing a good crop. These central-government schemes help farmers reach more buyers and stay protected when market prices crash. e-NAM opens up your local mandi to online bidders from across the country, while PM-AASHA steps in with MSP procurement or deficiency payments when prices for pulses, oilseeds and copra fall below the support price.

  • e-NAM (National Agriculture Market) — free registration to sell produce through online auctions in 1,600+ connected mandis, with payment straight to your bank account.
  • PM-AASHA — umbrella price-support scheme: the government buys notified pulses/oilseeds/copra at MSP, or pays you part of the price gap, when markets fall below MSP.
