Marketing of Agricultural Produce Regulations, 2014 (L.N. 360 of 1952).

These Regulations set out principles and rules governing the marketing of agricultural produce, which is defined as any produce which is cultivated or grown locally by a farmer or is derived from local animal husbandry. It is stipulated that no person shall act as a “pitkal” (a person who undertakes to sell agricultural produce to third persons, on account of the owners) or as a greengrocer without a licence from the Director of Agriculture. Provisions on maximum prices in respect of agricultural produce and penalties are laid down as well.
