In 1972 the Assam Agricultural Produce Market Act was passed by the State Legislative Assembly and from 1976 the Regulated Market Scheme was introduced in the State with the formation of State Agricultural Marketing Board and the Regulated Market Committees (known as APMCs in other States) at different places in the State with the objective of regulation of buying and selling of agricultural produces to eradicate malpractices prevailing in the trade in urban, semi-urban and rural markets and also to establish an efficient marketing system, where the growers may obtain reasonable and competitive price and the traders receive a fair deal in trading. The purpose is also to establish a modern market yard, where scientific godowns for storage, platforms for auction of agricultural commodities, display yards, traders shop, banks and post offices, are provided with. The scheme has been implemented by the Assam State Agricultural Marketing Board through Market Committees established in different areas of the State
