into modern, organized retail marketplaces. Launched in the Union Budget 2018-19, the program focuses on enhancing the infrastructure of rural markets to provide better access for small and marginal farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These markets are designed not only to improve the local sale of agricultural produce but also to link rural farmers with larger national markets, including online platforms. By doing so, GrAMs aim to ensure that farmers receive fair prices while reducing dependency on middlemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-were-grams-introduced\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_were_GrAMs_Introduced\"><\/span>Why were GrAMs Introduced?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>India has a significant population of small and marginal farmers over 86% of all farmers fall under this category. Many of these farmers face challenges in selling their produce efficiently due to limited infrastructure, lack of storage facilities, and dependency on local traders.
