Enthused by the positive outcome of delisting fruits and vegetables from the ambit of Agricultural Produce Market Committee Act, 1963, Maharashtra has proposed allowing direct marketing of pulses and oilseeds as well. The state government has appointed a committee to study the pros and cons of delisting pulses and oilseeds and asked it to submit a report in three months. Delisting pulses and oilseeds from the APMC Act likely ensure remunerative prices for farmers. However, with the delisting, farmers are free to sell their produce to anyone in the country who offers competitive prices. Keeping pulses and oilseeds out of the ambit of APMC Act may help shore up domestic prices of these commodities that have slipped below the minimum support price in many places.
