1.10.6. National Agricultural Market Atlas (NAMA)
♤ National Agricultural Market Atlas (NAMA) is an offshoot of the AGMARKNET with an additional component of spatial data. It provides GIS web interface to visualize the daily market scenario on National Map. Overlaying the above information with the Road/Rail network makes it more meaningful and strengthens the decisions taken by the planner as well as the farmer. It provides details about market functionaries, market infrastructure, etc. in the form of map. The geographical distribution of the markets in conjunction with market parameters will be of immense help both the monitoring authorities and the farming community.
