BSE launches e-agricultural spot market platform

BSE said it has launched an electronic spot platform for agricultural commodities. The platform– BSE e-agricultural Markets Ltd — will function as a national level, institutionalized, electronic, transparent commodity spot trading platform in line with the prime minister’s vision to create a “single market”, BSE said in a statement. In addition, the platform would facilitate spot agricultural commodities transactions across value chain consisting of producers, intermediaries, ancillary services and consumers.
