How Trade Works in an Indian Mandi
Farmers bring produce in tractors, trucks or bullock carts to the market yard, where it is unloaded at the shop of a licensed commission agent (arhtiya or dalal). Buyers, including traders, millers, processors and exporters' agents, inspect the lots and bid in an open or tender auction, or increasingly on the eNAM electronic platform. The winning buyer pays a market fee to the APMC, the commission agent takes a small commission, and the farmer is paid. Weighing, cleaning, grading and loading are done by licensed workers in the yard. Daily arrivals and prices are reported to Agmarknet.
Buying from This Market as an Outside Buyer
Buyers from other states or abroad normally work through a licensed local trader or commission agent, who attends the auctions, checks quality, arranges cleaning, grading, bagging and loading, and bills with GST. Before a first deal, ask for samples, agree on the grade, moisture and tolerance for damaged or foreign matter in writing, and decide who pays for loading, transport and insurance. For exports and food processors, a third-party lab test for moisture, residues or aflatoxin is common. Payment is usually made by bank transfer before dispatch or against documents, and many traders now accept eNAM settlement. Prices change daily, so confirm the rate on the day of loading.
Getting There
Bikaner is a railway junction with an airport (Nal) and road links to Jaipur, Jodhpur and Delhi. Guar gum and other exports move to Mundra and Kandla ports.
