Report of the Committee for Doubling Farmers’ Income: Volume III - post-production agri-logistics: maximising gains for farmers ( Ashok Dalwai Comittee)

The third volume of the Report of the Committee on Doubling Farmers’ Income (DFI) examines the status of post-production operations, with perspective that a farmer’s produce must find multiple avenues to obtain value at each place, across time & space and in various forms. Physical connectivity to markets is the primary medium by which farmers can access the opportunity to exchange produce for money. A lack of logistics connectivity to convey their harvest to markets, results in a lowering of the farmers’ ability to monetise their produce.
