STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

The Tamil Nadu Agricultural Produce and Livestock Contract Farming and Services (Promotion and

Facilitation) Act, 2019 (Tamil Nadu Act 37 of 2019) which was enacted to provide for improved production

and marketing of agricultural produce, livestock and its products through contract farming, is yet to be brought

into force. Contract Farming is one among the marketing approaches, wherein the farmer and purchaser

mutually agree upon the price, quantity, quality and time. The Tamil Nadu Agricultural Produce Marketing

(Regulation) Act, 1987 (Tamil Nadu Act 27 of 1989) provides for regulation of buying and selling of agricultural

produce in this State. The agricultural marketing system now provides a better price discovery to the farmers.

It is therefore considered that it would be appropriate to make the said Tamil Nadu Act 27 of 1989 more robust

by providing regulation of buying and selling of agricultural produce under any mode of marketing, instead of

bringing in an enactment for each mode of the marketing system. The Government have, therefore, decided

to repeal the Tamil Nadu Agricultural Produce and Livestock Contract Farming and Services (Promotion

and Facilitation) Act, 2019 (Tamil Nadu Act 37 of 2019).

2. The Bill seeks to give eff ect to the above decision.

M.R.K. PANNEER SELVAM,

Minister for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare.
