The Rajasthan Agricultural Produce Markets (Second Amendment) Act, 2020

General20204 sections

This law amends the Rajasthan Agricultural Produce Markets Act to change how farmers and traders pay fees. It applies to market committees, licensees, and operators of market yards, warehouses, and cold storages across the state. The main change is expanding the definition of "market area" to cover not just traditional yards but also private yards, direct marketing centers, and storage facilities under government notification. This allows committees to collect a specific "Krishak Kalyan fee" from anyone selling agricultural produce within these newly defined physical boundaries, aiming to support farmers and modernize market infrastructure.
