Message from Director General
(Shri A.K.Goel, I.A.S.)

Agricultural production and consequent food security of the nation is determined in farmers' field. However, farmers' well being is ultimately determined at market place. With the changing scenario, quantities are giving way to quality. Local mandies are networking with  national mandies. And WTO would accelerate the process eventually for a global network.

    WTO and its impact upon Indian Agriculture has been a subject matter of heated debates, frayed tempers, extreme views and eventually more confusion. To clarify doubts in this regard, honourable Prime Minister convened a meeting at the highest level in New Delhi on May 21, 2001. It was decided to undertake Awareness building exercise at state levels.

    To have an informed debate, it is important to disseminate right information first. And that is what is attempted by MANAGE now. We are publishing bulletins, covering only one commodity at a time.

I hope that it would be of use to farmers, extension workers and policy makers.

About WTO

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. At its heart are the WTO agreements, negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world’s trading nations and ratified in their parliaments. The goal is to help producers of goods and services, exporters, and importers conduct their business.
