As many as 16 States are in the process of delisting fruits and vegetables from the APMC Act, said Food Processing Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal.
“These States have amended the Act partially or totally,” the Minister added, without naming any state.
To check hoarding and rising prices, the BJP Government had recently called for the delisting of fruits and vegetables from the Act so that farmers could sell their produce in the open market.
