Two major steps taken by the government in the direction of improving agricultural marketing system in India, since independence are:
i. Regulation of markets: This step was necessary in the postindependence period so as to create an orderly and transparent marketing condition across India. This policy benefitted both farmers as well as consumers.
ii. Physical Infrastructure: This is another important aspect tackled by the government. Improvement of physical infrastructure facilities like roads, railways, warehouses, godowns, cold storages, processing units etc. has been the target of the government since decades.
