Government Adds Nine New Commodities To e-NAM Platform

09 Oct 2025 CW Team

This expansion aims to improve market access and price transparency for farmers and traders across India, enabling them to participate in a competitive and integrated national marketplace. The move follows consistent demand from farmers, traders, and stakeholders for wider commodity coverage and deeper market integration.

The Directorate of Marketing and Inspection (DMI), responsible for formulating tradable parameters for commodities listed on e-NAM, developed parameters for the nine new products after extensive consultations with state agencies, subject matter experts, and the Small Farmers’ Agribusiness Consortium (SFAC). The initiative was approved by the Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

The inclusion of standardised parameters ensures that farmers receive prices reflective of the actual quality of their produce, reducing reliance on intermediaries and strengthening their bargaining position. The system promotes a transparent and efficient trading ecosystem that benefits both producers and buyers, fostering long-term growth in India’s agricultural economy.

The newly added commodities are:

1. Green Tea

2. Tea

3. Aswagandha Dry Roots

4. Mustard Oil

5. Lavender Oil

6. Mentha Oil

7. Virgin Olive Oil

8. Lavender Dried Flower

9. Broken Rice

Tradable parameters link commodity prices directly to quality through defined grades or specifications, helping farmers secure better value for their produce.

With the latest additions, the total number of commodities with defined tradable standards has risen from 238 to 247. The parameters for the new commodities are now available on the official e-NAM portal (enam.gov.in).

This move reinforces the government’s commitment to empowering farmers through digital transparency, promoting quality-based trading, and driving inclusive growth in India’s agricultural sector.
