NAM: Tradable Quality parameters
TÜV SÜD South Asia Slide 616-11-28
Currently 250 mandi in 10 states are enrolled in NAM. Approx 7000+ mandi operates in India.
Harmonized quality standards of 69 agricultural produce with specific grading as per tradeable
parameters
Assaying (quality testing) infrastructure in every market to enable informed bidding by buyers
Common tradable quality parameters e.g.
Moisture
Foreign Matter
Other edible grains
Damaged grains
Weevil led grains
Immature and Shrivelled grains
Uniformity
Major challenges
TÜV SÜD South Asia Slide 7Understanding Testing & quality in eNAM framework16-11-28
Tradable parameters need skilled manpower.
Numerous commodities come to APMC, thus increased
dependency on manpower with product based skill set.
Time constraints. Eg. 4000 lot of rice per day at
Haryana APMC. Time to test each sample =18(work hrs)
× 60(min) × 60(sec) ÷ 4000 = 16 sec
Over-rating and under-rating of results need to be
calibrated with practical expectations of the market.
Infrastructure requirement-physical presence of labs in
each APMC.
