Farmer Sunil Kumar of Muzaffarpur in the Indian state of Bihar does not have any export license but his 750 kg litchi reached London. Similarly, 5-ton litchi of another farmer is going to Germany. Further, the exercise of selling the products of many farmers in the foreign market is going on. This exercise is being done through the Common Service Center (CSC) of the IT Ministry. In this whole exercise, farmers do not have to go out of the village to sell their product. As soon as the goods are sold, the full price comes into the account of the farmer.
Petrol and diesel prices increased for the 8th consecutive day
Farmers have to register themselves on CSC's E-mart portal. During registration, farmers have to tell what is their product, what is its size, and at what price they want to sell it. On the portal, farmers have to give information about their land and other proof of being a farmer. It is necessary to have a bank account. Registration will be done even if there is no PAN card. Village level entrepreneurs (VLEs) help farmers in the work of registration. After giving complete information of the finished products for sale on behalf of the farmers, this information is shared with traders and agri exporters.

In his statement, CSC CEO Dinesh Tyagi said that there are also traders and Agri exporters on the E-mart platform, but they are shown only the farmer's product and then they bid. Traders and exporters do not know what price the farmer is seeking for that product. Tyagi said that this is the reason why Dattatreya Budbade, a tomato farmer from Pune, wanted to sell his tomato at Rs 10 a kg and he got a price of Rs 10.50 per kg.
