Digital technology has become an important component of agricultural development in India, particularly in addressing long-standing problems related to information asymmetry, fragmented markets, and limited access to services for small and marginal farmers. One prominent digital platform used in Indian agriculture is the electronic National Agriculture Market (e-NAM), launched by the Government of India as a pan-India electronic trading portal that integrates existing Agricultural Produce Market Committees (APMCs). e-NAM is designed to create a unified national market for agricultural commodities by leveraging information and communication technologies to connect farmers, traders, and buyers across states. At its core, e-NAM helps farmers access market information in a transparent and timely manner. Traditionally, farmers sold their produce in local mandis where prices were often determined by local traders and commission agents, leaving farmers with little bargaining power. Through e-NAM, farmers can view real-time prices of their commodities across multiple mandis and states using digital displays at markets or mobile and web applications. This price discovery mechanism reduces information gaps and allows farmers to make informed decisions about where and when to sell their produce. Access to such information is especially valuable in a country like India, where spatial price variations are significant due to differences in demand, supply, and infrastructure. The platform also improves farmers’ access to markets beyond their immediate geographical area. e-NAM enables online bidding and inter-mandi trading, allowing buyers from different regions to participate in auctions. This wider market access can increase competition among buyers, which may result in better prices for farmers. For commodities
