Published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 24 December 2008, the notification invited objections or suggestions within one month from publication and is a proposal rather than a final declaration of regulation.
What the notification does
The Agriculture Department notification under G.O. Ms. No. 361, Agriculture (AM.II), dated 12 December 2008, declares an intention to regulate the marketing of agricultural produce listed in Annexure I within the regulated market areas listed in Annexure II. It was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 24 December 2008.
The notification covers agricultural marketing in specified regulated markets. It does not set out land ownership changes, land ceiling decisions or property registration requirements.
Produce covered
Annexure I includes produce in the following groups:
- Cereals, including paddy, rice, wheat, cholam, cumbu, ragi and maize.
- Pulses, including red gram, black gram, green gram, Bengal gram, peas, cowpea and horse gram.
- Oilseeds and fibres, including groundnut, gingelly, coconut, cotton seed, cotton and coconut coir.
