Abstract: This study examines
the functioning and services of the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee
(APMC) with a focus on its role in Shajapur District and the range of services
it provides to farmers and traders. By ensuring fair prices and providing
necessary services including grading, weighing, storage, and transportation,
APMC plays a critical role in controlling agricultural markets. These services
support fair trade between farmers and traders, maintain transparency, and
prevent exploitation. The primary goal of the study is to evaluate the overall
functioning of APMC with particular focus on how well it meets the needs of
traders and farmers and to determine the level of satisfaction that farmers and
traders have with the services they receive. The study will offer suggestions
to enhance the efficacy and efficiency of APMC operations in light of these
discoveries. Through qualitative techniques, including farmer and trader
interviews, the study will offer an in-depth understanding of how the APMC
operates and make recommendations for improvements to improve its services. The
results will provide insightful information to enhance market efficiency and
better serve Shajapur District's farming community.
