राष्ट्रीय कृषि बाज़ार (e-NAM)
दावा
संदर्भ अधूरा
डिलीवरी
आंशिक रूप से पूरा
मंच बना और वह अभी एकल राष्ट्रीय बाज़ार नहीं है। ई-नाम अप्रैल 2016 में शुरू हुआ, और कृषि मंत्रालय ने 21 जुलाई 2026 को संसद को बताया कि अब 23 राज्यों और 4 केंद्रशासित प्रदेशों की 1,656 मंडियाँ जुड़ चुकी हैं। जो आँकड़ा बताता है कि मंच ने क्या हासिल किया और क्या नहीं, वह राज्यों के आर-पार व्यापार का है — ‘राष्ट्रीय’ का अर्थ यहीं है: ‘जून 2026 तक ई-नाम पर 28,566 मीट्रिक टन का अंतर-राज्यीय व्यापार दर्ज हुआ, जिसका मूल्य लगभग ₹83.95 करोड़ है।’ दस वर्ष बाद राष्ट्रीय कृषि बाज़ार पर संचयी अंतर-राज्यीय व्यापार ₹84 करोड़ से कम है। व्यवहार में ई-नाम डिजिटल हुई स्थानीय मंडियों का समूह है।

1,656 mandis from 23 states and 4 UTs integrated; ₹83.95 crore of cumulative inter-state trade
एकीकरण केवल राज्य सरकारों के प्रस्ताव पर होता है, क्योंकि कृषि विपणन राज्य का विषय है — जनवरी से जून 2026 के बीच पाँच राज्यों/केंद्रशासित प्रदेशों की 134 मंडियाँ जोड़ी गईं।
Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 247, Expansion and Integration of e-NAM and Allied Platforms — answer by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare
The 2014 manifesto's line on agricultural marketing is six words long: "evolve a single 'National Agriculture Market'." The adjective that matters is single.
The instrument was created. The electronic National Agriculture Market launched in April 2016, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare told the Lok Sabha on 21 July 2026: "As on 30th June, 2026, 1656 mandis from 23 States and 4 UTs have been integrated with e-NAM." Integration is still expanding — "From January to June, 2026, 134 mandis of 5 States/UTs have been integrated" — and the platform does real work at the mandi level: online bidding, price discovery visible to farmers, and sale proceeds paid directly into bank accounts instead of through commission agents.
What it has not become is a single national market, and the ministry's own answer contains the number that shows it. "Till June, 2026, inter-State trade of 28,566 metric tonnes valued at approximately ₹83.95 crore, has been recorded on e-NAM."
That is cumulative, across ten years and 1,656 mandis. For scale, India's annual agricultural output is measured in lakhs of crores; a single large mandi can turn over more than ₹84 crore in a season. Trade across state lines is the thing that distinguishes a national market from a collection of local ones, and on e-NAM it has barely happened.
The reason is structural and the answer states half of it: "Integration of Mandis on e-NAM is done on the basis of proposals received from States/Union Territories." Agricultural marketing is a state subject. A buyer in one state bidding for produce in another still faces that state's APMC rules, licensing, mandi fees, assaying standards and the physical problem of moving perishable goods a long distance against a bid placed online. e-NAM digitised the auction; it did not remove the barriers between the markets it connects.
The ministry points to complementary measures — the 10,000 FPO scheme, aggregation for better bargaining power — which help farmers but do not change what e-NAM's inter-state number says.
No CAG performance audit of e-NAM has been tabled, so all of this is the implementing ministry's own account.
A platform built at national scale that functions mainly as a local one. The promise was a single national agriculture market; what exists is 1,656 electronically equipped mandis with almost no trade between them. Our verdict is lacks context.

“The Government is implementing National Agriculture Market (e-NAM), a pan-India electronic trading platform, to facilitate transparent and competitive online trading of agricultural commodities. Integration of Mandis on e-NAM is done on the basis of proposals received from States/Union Territories (UTs). From January to June, 2026, 134 mandis of 5 States/UTs have been integrated with the e-NAM platform… As on 30th June, 2026, 1656 mandis from 23 States and 4 UTs have been integrated with e-NAM… Mandis integrated with the e-NAM platform provide farmers access to a larger pool of buyers, transparent online bidding, better price discovery and direct payment of sale proceeds into their bank accounts… Till June, 2026, inter-State trade of 28,566 metric tonnes valued at approximately ₹83.95 crore, has been recorded on e-NAM. In addition, the Department is promoting Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) under the Central Sector Scheme for Formation and Promotion of 10,000 FPOs to strengthen farmers' collective marketing, improve market linkages with value chain partners…”
