STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

The Tamil Nadu Agricultural Produce Marketing (Regulation) Act, 1987 (Tamil Nadu Act 27 of 1989) envisages

free trade practices. The farmer has the liberty to sell their agricultural produce in any market of his choice. Efforts

are being made to dispense with cash transactions, by migrating to digital mode. The said Act needs to be amended

to suit the present day requirements of digital technology in marketing / trading in a larger scale, for better price

discovery to farmers and to protect their interest.

2. Keeping in view the above objects, the Government, in G.O. (3D) No. 24, Agriculture-Farmers Welfare

(AM3) Department, dated 31.3.2022 constituted a High Level Committee with 13 members to recommend

and suggest appropriate changes for the better functioning of Market Committees and Regulated Markets.

On considering the various objections and suggestions received from the stakeholders, the High Level Committee

has recommended certain amendments to the said Act.

3. After careful consideration of the recommendations of the said High Level Committee, the Government have

decided to amend the Tamil Nadu Agricultural Produce Marketing (Regulation) Act, 1987 (Tamil Nadu Act 27 of 1989)

suitably for the purpose.

4. The Bill seeks to give effect to the above decision.
