STANDARDISATION AND GRADING OF
AGRICULTURAL AND ALLIED PRODUCE (NON-PLAN):
Quality standards for agricultural commodities are framed based on
their intrinsic quality. Food safety
factors are being incorporated in the standards to compete in World trade. Standards are being harmonised with
international standards keeping in view the WTO requirements. Certification of agricultural commodities is
carried out for the benefit of producer/manufacturer and consumer. Certification of adulteration prone
commodities viz. Butter, Ghee, Vegetable Oils, Ground-Spices, Honey, Wheat Atta
etc. is very popular. Blended Edible
Vegetable Oils and Fat Spread are compulsorily required to be certified under
Agmark.
The Certification mark under the Agricultural Produce
(Grading & Marking) Act is popularly known as "AGMARK". Grading is carried out in
accordance with the standards
notified, following meticulous
procedure of sampling, testing,
packaging, marking and
sealing as per
the instructions issued under the
Act and Rules.
1. 1 FORMULATION OF GRADE STANDARDS:
Agricultural Produce (Grading & Marking) Act, 1937 empowers the
Central Government to frame grade standards for agricultural produce. The DMI has formulated Agmark standards for
181 agricultural and allied commodities.
Standards framed under the provisions of the Act are popularly known as
AGMARK standards. The standards are
framed in a scientific manner. A
sampling plan is first drawn for collecting adequate number of representative
samples of the concerned commodity from different producing areas and
assembling centers over a period of time.
These samples are analyzed in various Regional Agmark Laboratories for
various physical and chemical parameters.
On the basis of analytical data generated, grade standards are
formulated keeping in view the standards framed under the provisions of the Prevention
of Food Adulteration Act, 1954.
1.2 GRADING OF AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES:
The grading activities are directed
specifically for the benefit of farmers and consumers, while they also help the
traders in efficient movement of the produce from the producers to the
consumers. Promotion of standardization and grading of agricultural and allied
produce is one of the important activities of the Directorate of Marketing
& Inspection. The Directorate promotes standardization and grading and
implements scheme of certification of agricultural and allied products for
orderly marketing under the provisions of Agricultural Produce (Grading &
Marking) Act, 1937 as amended in 1986.
The Certification mark under the Act is popularly known as ‘AGMARK’.
Grading is carried out in accordance with the standards
notified, following meticulous procedure of sampling, testing, packaging,
marking and sealing as per the instructions issued under the provisions of the
Act and Rules. It serves as a means of
describing the quality of commodities to be purchased or sold by the buyers or
sellers all over the country and abroad.
This establishes a common trade language and avoids the need for
physical checking and handling at many points.
The system of grading and certification benefits both the sellers and
buyers in view of the fact that the producer gets price commensurate with the
quality produced by him and consumer gets a quality product. Grading and
certification activities can be broadly classified into -
(i)
Grading for Internal Trade
(ii)
Grading for Export
(iii)
Grading at Producers’ level.
1.2.1 Grading for Internal Trade:
Grading
of agricultural commodities for internal trade is voluntary in nature and is
carried out under the provisions of Agricultural Produce (Grading &
Marking) Act, 1937. However, as per provision in Prevention of Food
Adulteration Rules, 1955 certification of blended edible vegetable oils and fat
spread is compulsory under Agmark for internal trade. The commodities graded under ‘AGMARK’ for
internal trade are classified into two groups; viz. decentralized commodities
and centralized commodities.
Decentralised commodities include those items which do not require
elaborate testing facilities. Assessment of their purity and determination of
grade is mostly done on the basis of physical factors or relatively simple
tests. Decentralised commodities include
wheat, rice and other cereals, oilseeds, edible nuts, fibre crops, fruit and
vegetables etc. This programme is being
implemented through the Marketing Departments of the concerned State Governments
under the guidance of the Directorate of Marketing and Inspection. Certain powers such as renewal of Certificate
of Authorisation, drawl of check samples, etc. under the provisions of General
Grading & Marking Rules, 1988 have also been delegated to Officers of
States/ UTs. for grading of
decentralized commodities.
The commodities which require
elaborate testing arrangements for assessment of quality and determination of
grade, are classified as centralised commodities. These include ghee, butter, vegetable oils,
oil cakes, powdered spices, honey, wheat Atta, Besan etc. These require elaborate testing for chemical
parameters. The commodities are tested
by the authorized packers in primary grading laboratories for various
prescribed parameters and grades are assigned as per the analytical
results. Packers/ manufacturers who can
not establish their own laboratories because of cost involved and recurring
expenditure, get themselves attached with State Grading Laboratories (SGLs)/
cooperative/ commercial laboratories.
1.2.2 Grading for Export:
The Export (Quality Control & Inspection) Act, 1963 is administered
by the Ministry of Commerce. The Act
empowers the Government to
·
Notify commodities which will be subject to quality control and/or inspection
prior to export,
·
Establish standards of quality for such notified commodities, and
·
Specify the type of quality control and/or inspection to be applied to
such commodities.
In view of economic reforms initiated by the Government of India in early
1990s, the operation of compulsory quality control and inspection for export
commodities had been simplified. The
following steps initiated at the time continued to be operative.
·
State Trading Houses, Trading Houses, Export Houses as well as Industrial
Units in Export Processing Zones and 100% Export Oriented Units have been
exempted from the purview of compulsory pre shipment Inspection.
·
Units approved by EIAs under the system of In-process Quality Control
(IPQC) have been authorized to issue statutory certificates by themselves.
·
Items which were hitherto subjected to compulsory pre shipment
inspection have been exempted from the same, provided the exporter has a firm
letter from the overseas buyer stating that the overseas buyer does not require
preshipment inspection from any official Indian inspection agencies.
Fish
and fishery products, honey, egg products, milk and milk products, black pepper
for USA, Basmati rice for EU have been notified for compulsory preshipment
inspection and certification.
DMI has attended to certification of
grapes during this year from different centers in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh
and Karnataka.
1.2.3 Grading
at Producers’ Level:
For securing adequate return to the
producer-sellers, a scheme of Grading at the Producers’ Level by establishing
grading units in Regulated markets and Marketing Cooperatives was
introduced. The main objective of the
scheme is to subject the produce to simple tests, and assign a grade before it
is offered for sale. Grading helps the
producer to get price commensurate with the quality of his produce. Cereals, pulses, oilseeds, spices, fruit and
vegetables, fibres, arecanut, coconut and tobacco are some of the important
commodities graded under this programme.
The scheme is being implemented by the States/ UTs.
1.3
NETWORK OF
AGMARK LABORATORIES:
Directorate of Marketing
& Inspection has set up 16 Regional Agmark Laboratories (RALs) spread all
over the country with Central Agmark Laboratory at Nagpur as the apex
laboratory. These RALs have the mandate
to;
(i)
analyse research samples of agricultural
commodities for framing their standards and
(ii)
analyse check samples drawn under Agmark
Certification Programme.
2.
MARKETING RESEARCH, SURVEYS AND PLANNING:
Right from its inception, DMI has been undertaking commodity marketing
surveys and in-depth studies of marketing system in respect of various
agricultural commodities in the country.
Problem-oriented studies are also undertaken and technical guidance is
rendered to State Governments.
2.1 Market Research and Planning:
At the outset guidelines, questionnaires/ schedules and synopses are
prepared and issued to field offices for collection of data. The field surveys are conducted at the
important centres spread over the entire country. The analysis and
interpretation of data is done by using percentage indices, averages, variance,
standard deviation correlation, regression
trends and forecasting tools/ techniques. The report is prepared in an
organized form which includes introduction, methodology, findings, summary,
conclusion and recommendation. Based on
these studies/ surveys, a large number of marketing reports have been published
by the Directorate. These reports help
planners and policy makers to formulate various schemes/ programmes from time
to time for development of agricultural marketing system in the country. The
important suggestions/ recommendations are also made on the basis of findings
of these reports for the benefits of agriculturists, agri-business dealers and
consumers.
2.2 Marketable Surplus and Post-Harvest Losses:
The Directorate is also implementing a scheme for Estimation of
Marketable Surplus and Post-Harvest Losses of Foodgrains. It aims at finding out the quantum of
marketable surplus and post-harvest losses to pin point the causes of losses
and to suggest remedial measures, besides generating data for various user
agencies.
2.3 Research Grants:
With a view to attract private and autonomous sector talent, the DMI
has provided Research Grants to eminent scholars, institutions for undertaking
research studies to identify specific problems & constraints in various
areas of agricultural marketing and suggest remedial The financial assistance was provided in the form of grant-in-aid. 33 such projects were sanctioned. Out of them reports on 32 projects have been
received and published.
2.4 Under the Xth Five Year Plan the three
schemes i) Market Information Network ii) Marketable Surplus and Post-harvest
Losses of Foodgrains and iii) Research Grants Scheme have been amalgamated
under one scheme namely “Market Research and Information Network”. Under the new scheme the Directorate has
undertaken the preparation of following commodity profiles:
i) Post harvest profile of Paddy/ Rice
ii) Post harvest profile of Red Gram
iii) Post harvest profile of Bengal Gram
iv) Post harvest profile of
Soyabean
v) Post harvest profile of Mustard- Rape
seed
vi) Post harvest profile of
Wheat
vii) Post harvest profile of
Groundnut
Out of these profiles Paddy/ Rice, Bengal Gram,
Soyabean, Red Gram and Mustard- Rape seed have been uploaded on Agmark net
portal and are in public domain can be accessed from www.agmarknet.nic.in.
3.
AGRICULTURAL
MARKETING REFORMS:
i)
Model
Act on Agricultural Marketing: This
Ministry has formulated a ‘Model Act’ on agricultural marketing in order to
assist the States in removing barriers, whether legal or policy induced, which
introduce inefficiencies and monopoly rents in the functioning of agricultural
markets. The Model Act enables any person, grower or local authority to
establish new markets in any area, removes compulsion on growers to sell their
produce through existing regulated markets, allows establishment of direct
purchase centers and Farmers Markets for direct sale, promote Public Private
Partnership in management and development of markets, establish Special markets
for commodities like Onions, Fruits, Vegetables, Flowers etc.
ii) Contract Farming:
In the wake of economic liberalization, the concept of contract farming
in which national or multinational companies enter into contracts for marketing
of agricultural and horticultural produce and also provide technologies and
capital to contract farmers has gained importance.
Model
specifications of contract farming agreement and supporting legislation
requiring amendment to the State Acts dealing with agricultural marketing has
been formulated and the same sent to State Governments/ UTs for necessary
action.
4. MARKETING RESEARCH AND INFORMATION
NETWORK:
4.1 The Marketing Research and Information
Network Scheme viz. AGMARKNET is being implemented by the Department for
electronic networking of agricultural produce wholesale markets in the country
for collection and dissemination of price and market related information. The
scheme was launched in the year 2000-01.
4.2 Price related Information: Information on price of agricultural
commodities is collected by Auction Officers in the mandi through the process
of auction that takes place from early in the morning and goes up to
lunchtime. The data is usually sent by
e-mail from the mandi in the afternoon indicating the day’s minimum price of
the commodity, the maximum price and the modal price, i.e. the price at which
the maximum sales have taken place. The
quantity of arrivals is also reported.
E-mail from all the markets are compiled in the DMI/NIC Headquarter and
after verification uploaded on the portal.
Information on the portal is in public domain and can be accessed
freely. As on date, price information in
respect of more than 300 commodities and 2000 varieties are reported on the
portal.
4.3 Market related information: In addition to price, several other markets
related information is provided on the portal.
These relate to accepted standards of grades, labeling, sanitary and
phyto-sanitary requirements, physical infrastructure of storage and
warehousing, marketing laws, fees payable etc. Efforts are on to prepare a
national atlas of agricultural markets on a GIS Platform that would indicate
the availability of entire marketing infrastructure in the country including
storage, cold storage, markets and related infrastructure. Similarly commodity profiles indicating the
post harvest requirements of important commodities in terms of quality,
packing, standards, etc. are being loaded on to the portal. Commodities already covered include Rice,
Bengal Gram, Red Gram and Mustard/Rapeseed.
4.4 Establishment of Computing and Networking
Facilities:
Each market
node is provided with a Personal Computer, a printer, a UPS system for power
backup and a modem. The markets are connected to internet through dial-up
modem. The State Marketing Boards/
Directorates and Directorate of Marketing and Inspection (DMI) offices spread
all over the country have also been connected.
V-SAT based communication system has been established at DMI
Headquarters, Faridabad to facilitate co-ordination with several participating
markets.
4.5 Development of Human Resource:
About 1500
officials of the market committees have been provided necessary IT training
under the project so far covering the basic operations of computers,
application software for data entry and usage of internet and e-mail. The training has been conducted with the
support of NIC state/district units. Wherever necessary, onsite training has
also been arranged. Refresher training programmes have also been conducted
wherever required.
4.6 Application and Database Development:
A market
level application software AGMARK has been developed to facilitate data entry
of prices and arrivals, local database creation and information transmission. A
comprehensive national database has been developed. The database is growing
exponentially with daily prices and arrivals information being received from
markets spread all over the country. Weekly and Monthly National price
bulletins are being generated using the database.
Data
is received from markets through e-mail in the form of structured attachments
generated through the AGMARK software. The text files are automatically
uploaded (through a software module) onto the web enabled national database,
after verification by DMI, twice a day (in the afternoon and evening) except on
market/ public holidays. About 770 markets are reporting data to the portal.
4.7 Portal on Market Information:
A portal has
been developed to facilitate dissemination of market-wise prices of various
commodities and other agricultural marketing related information as a single
window service. The portal has linkage with various organizations concerned
with agricultural marketing. Any market can now easily access prices of other
markets through the agmarknet portal. The farmers visiting the markets can be
timely informed by the market officials about prevailing prices in other
markets. The portal provides access to daily, future, minimum support prices
and international commodity prices from FAO website. The quantity of arrivals
is also reported.
In
addition to prices, several other markets related information as mentioned
earlier is being provided on the portal. The portal is constantly being
enriched. An e-directory of markets is
gradually being evolved over the portal. Information on prices and arrivals is
now accessible in Hindi, Gurumukhi and Telugu, besides English. Efforts are on to facilitate dissemination in
other major local languages also. The commodity prices and arrivals information
available on portals of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra are also
integrated with AGMARKNET portal.
5. PROMOTION OF COLD STORAGE:
For preservation of
perishable produce like fruits and vegetables, cold storages and cold chain
linkage play an important role for increasing the shelf life of produce. For proper development of cold storages and
ensuring proper refrigeration condition two pronged approach was adopted
through Regulation and Promotional activities.
During 1997, the regulation aspect was discontinued to attract more
private investment in cold storage industry.
In 1999, on the recommendation of the High Level Expert Committee on
storage and cold storage a capital investment subsidy scheme for construction/
expansion/ modernization of cold storage was introduced. Fund is released by National Horticulture
Board through NABARD.
6. GRAMIN BHANDARAN YOJNA:
6.1 It is a capital investment subsidy scheme for
construction/renovation of rural godowns.
It was introduced on 2001 – 2002 and extended upto 30th
September,2004. It has now been extended
till 31st March,2007. The
main objectives of the scheme include creation of scientific storage capacity
with allied facilities in rural areas to meet out various requirements of
farmers for storing farm produce, processed farm produce, agricultural inputs,
etc., and prevention of distress by creating the facility of pledge loan and
marketing credit.
6.2 The
project for construction of rural godowns can be taken up by individuals,
farmers, Group of farmers, growers,partnership/ proprietory firms
non-Government organizations(NGOs), self-help Groups, Companies, Corporations,

godowns are in public sector, 2376 are in farmers cooperative, 5050 godowns
belong to farmers and 1722 godowns are owned by others like traders, companies,
etc.
7. DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURAL MARKETING
INFRASTRUCTURE, GRADING & STANDARDISATION:
7.1 With a view to attract large private
investment in agriculture, a new scheme has been launched in October 2004
with a Central outlay of Rs.190 crores during Xth Five Year Plan to develop
marketing infrastructure in the country to cater to the post-harvest
requirement of production and marketable surplus of various farm products. A
provision of Rs.70 crore has been made in the budget during 2005-06 for
implementation of the Scheme. This
scheme is reform linked and assistance for development of infrastructure
projects will be provided in those States/ Union Territories which permit
setting up of agricultural markets in private and cooperative sectors and allow
direct marketing and contract farming.
7.2
The main objectives of the scheme are
to provide additional agricultural marketing infrastructure to cope up with the
large expected marketable surpluses of agricultural and allied commodities
including dairy, poultry, fishery, livestock and minor forest produce; to
promote competitive alternative agricultural marketing infrastructure by
inducement of private and cooperative sector investments; to promote direct
marketing through reduction in intermediaries and handling channels thus
enhancing farmers’ income; and to provide infrastructure facilities for
grading, standardization.
7.3
The Rate of subsidy under the scheme is 25% of the capital cost of the project. In case of North Eastern States, hilly and
tribal areas and to entrepreneurs belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC)/ Scheduled
Tribe (ST) and their cooperatives, the rate of subsidy is 33.33%. Maximum
amount of subsidy shall be restricted to Rs.50 lakh for each project. In the case of North Eastern States, hilly
and tribal areas and to entrepreneurs belonging to SC/ ST and their
cooperatives, maximum amount of subsidy shall be Rs.60 lakh for each

National Accreditation Board for Testing & Calibration Laboratories has
been proposed to be completed by the year ending 2005-06, while other six
Regional Agmark Laboratories are to be modernized and accredited during the next
year with central allocation of Rs.10 crores.
7.5 Since the scheme is reform linked, it has so far been
implemented in those States/ UTs which have introduced reform measures by
allowing direct marketing, contract farming and setting up of markets in private
and cooperative sectors. These states
are Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Manipur, Andaman & Nicobar Islands,
Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, Sikkim and Nagaland. Sensitization

level programmes have also been organized in Kerala on 26th & 27th
May, 2005.
8. TRAINING IN AGRICULTURAL
MARKETING:
For
efficient marketing of agricultural produce, one of the important steps to be
taken is to train the adequate manpower in the requisite skill. The Directorate of Marketing & Inspection
is the pioneering institution to offer training programmes in agricultural
marketing. In the context of ever
emerging marketing problems and liberalization of agricultural trade under WTO
regime, the training component requires strengthening with pointedly emphasis
on (a) efficient management of regulated markets, (b) continuous improvement in
quality of farm produce (c) modernization of marketing information system (d)
efficient dissemination of recent technique in marketing to the farmers (e) promotion
of direct marketing modals (f) scientific grading and storage of farm produce
(g) promotion of post harvest technology amongst farmers and other marketing
functionaries for reducing quantitative and qualitative losses. Needless to
mention that the aforementioned aspects are attainable only through
strengthening of agricultural marketing training service for sustained
development of human resources to up-date their technical know-how and skill in
the multi-disciplinary area of agri-marketing. It may be pertinent to mention
here that the services of agri-marketing personnel trained by the Directorate
of Marketing & Inspection are utilized by the various State Agricultural
Marketing Boards/ Departments for training of farmers in various aspects of agricultural
marketing. The Major training Programme organized by DMI are:
