The government of India brought out new regulations aimed at reforming the Indian agricultural value chain.
Pulses, lentils, cereals, and onion have been removed from the Essential Commodity list, along with the regulation that farmers can now directly trade and enter into business contracts with exporters, traders, and processors/millers, removing the mandatory requirement of trading through wholesale mandis (markets).
With these new regulations, the government expects to increase competition and exports, attract private investments, and improve the quality of crops.
