Bare Act
The Jharkhand State Agriculture Produce Market (Amendment) Act, 2007
This Act amends the Jharkhand State Agriculture Produce Market Act, 2000, to modernize agricultural trade by introducing private market yards, farmer-consumer markets, and contract farming (Market-Oriented Agriculture). It aims to provide farmers with more selling options beyond traditional government-run mandis and encourages agro-processing by defining terms like "processing" and "value addition." The Act establishes a clear fee structure for market transactions, prohibits double taxation, and sets strict timelines for dispute resolution in contract farming. For citizens and farmers, this legislation creates a more competitive, efficient, and transparent agricultural marketplace while ensuring fair pricing and legal recourse.
