The Indian Union government used ordinances to dismantle state-level controls on agricultural produce marketing. Cereals, pulses, oilseeds, edible oil, onion and potato were exempted from Essential Commodities Act regulation, and processors and exporters may stock up to plant capacity.
Removing stock limits on oilseeds, edible oil and grains could let processors buy and hold more supply, which may support domestic oilseed prices. The longer-term effect on farm-gate prices depends on state implementation.
