J&K and Maharashtra Connect via eNAM for First Interstate Trade
Imagine farmers and traders in different states trying to sell and buy fruits and vegetables.
It used to be tricky, but now there's a special online system called eNAM.
Think of it like a big online marketplace.
This week, the first trade happened between Jammu and Kashmir and Maharashtra, with apples and pears going to Pune.
It's like a virtual meeting place for markets across India, making it easier to buy and sell.
The government hopes this will make things fairer, more open, and quicker for everyone involved.
Farmers can find better prices, and traders can save time and money.
It's a new way to buy and sell that helps everyone.
First interstate trade via eNAM occurred between Jammu and Kashmir and Maharashtra.
A truck transported apples and pears from J&K to Pune's Gultekdi APMC.
