Three ways to be involved with a mandi

Tier 1 — Sell your own crop

Free · no licence needed

Bring your own produce to sell — either in the open auction via a licensed commission agent, or through government MSP procurement. For MSP you usually need KYC + verified land records; some states also issue a token/registration for the procurement window.

Tier 2 — Trade as licensed trader/agent

Licence required · fee varies

Trader / commission agent licence under the AP (Agricultural Produce & Livestock) Markets Act.

Tier 3 — Own a private mandi

Serious capital · for FPOs/investors

Private market licence under the AP Markets Act; fee + bank guarantee; 5 km rule applies.

How selling actually works in Andhra Pradesh

For MSP paddy/groundnut, register at the notified procurement centre with land records and bank account for DBT.

MSP procurement agency: AP State Civil Supplies Corporation + state marketing + FCI.

Legal commission rate: Market fee ~1%; commission ~2–4% — verify the notified rate.

What they don't tell you — know your rights

  • • Chilli (Guntur) price volatility and moisture-cut disputes.
  • • Groundnut MSP procurement limited to notified centres.
  • • Cropyield loss from cyclones disrupts supply and prices.
  • • Protect yourself: always take and keep the official weighment slip (parchi) and the auction bill for every sale — it is your proof in any dispute. Anything charged beyond the legal commission rate can be reported to the Market Committee.
