The Nagaland Agriculture Produce Marketing (Regulation) Act, 1988

The Nagaland Agricultural Produce Marketing (Regulation) Act, 1985 establishes a structured legal framework to regulate the buying, selling, storage, and processing of agricultural produce across Nagaland. It sets up dedicated Market Committees and a State Agricultural Marketing Board to oversee trade yards, prevent unfair trade practices, enforce standard weights, and guarantee direct, same-day payments to farmers. The law directly impacts local farmers, traders, brokers, and consumers by eliminating illegal deductions, establishing regulated market spaces, and curbing trader monopolies. For the average citizen, it ensures fair pricing, authentic weights, transparent market operations, and improved agricultural marketing infrastructure.
