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.

How selling actually works in Madhya Pradesh
For MSP wheat/chana, register at the notified procurement centre with land records and bank account; token ensures a selling window.
MSP procurement agency: MPSAMB + state civil supplies + FCI.
Legal commission rate: Mandi fee ~1% plus commission around 1–2% — verify the notified rate at the Mandi Samiti.
eNAM integration: About 140 mandis integrated — approx.
What they don't tell you — know your rights
- • Soybean price crashes when arrivals peak together.
- • Gram (chana) MSP procurement limited to notified centres.
- • Unofficial weighing/loading deductions.
- • 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.
