Market Information

Credible and timely information plays a crucial role in agricultural marketing, particularly for perishables. Due to lack of proper market information channel and interference of middle man, the farmers have been exploited often and forced to sell their produce at lower price in their nearby market. The harvested produce can be sold at a premium price when the price information of the nearest alternative markets is disseminated to farmers on demand and daily basis.  They can make better decision to harvest the produce at right time and send their consignment to particular market where the market price is higher for his/her produce. The power of information and mobile technology is making things possible to get the required information at required time. Dynamic Market Information (DMI) Service is one such initiative to provide accurate market related information to farmers and related stakeholders on daily basis.

DMI is the collaborative effort of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), Coimbatore and India Development Gateway Initiative of C-DAC, Hyderabad to provide reliable daily market prices of perishable commodities covering major markets in and around Tamil Nadu.
