Updated: 16 Oct 2025
Ministry: Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare
Beneficiary: Farmers

Overview

The Agri-Market Infrastructure Fund is a ₹2,000 crore scheme to develop and upgrade 22,000 GrAMs and 585 APMCs, linking them with e-NAM and enabling direct farmer sales through innovative market infrastructure projects.

  • Fund with a corpus of Rs. 2000 crore for developing and upgrading agricultural marketing infrastructure in the 22000 Gramin Agricultural Markets (GrAMs) and 585 Agricultural Produce Market Committees (APMCs).
    • In these GrAMs, physical infrastructure is strengthened using MGNREGS and other Government Schemes.
    • There is also a provision to link GrAMs with e-NAM and exempt them from APMC regulations. 
    • GrAMs are expected to provide farmers facility to make direct sale to consumers and bulk purchasers with National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD). 
  • Since it is a demand driven scheme from the States/UTs, there is no State-wise and year-wise allocation of the fund.  
  • States may also access AMIF for innovative integrated market infrastructure projects including Hub and Spoke mode and in Public Private Partnership mode.
