Tier 2 — Trade as licensed trader/agent

Licence required · fee varies

Trader licence under the MP Krishi Upaj Mandi Adhiniyam (Form A / Form B style) from the Mandi Samiti.

Tier 3 — Own a private mandi

Serious capital · for FPOs/investors

Private mandi licence under the MP APMC Act; fee + bank guarantee; 5 km distance rule applies.
