Marketing boards are organizations set up by governments to regulate the marketing of specific agricultural products. They aim to stabilize prices, ensure fair returns for farmers, and maintain a steady supply of goods. By controlling the buying and selling of these products, marketing boards help protect both producers and consumers from market fluctuations. These boards often operate by setting minimum prices for products, collecting and distributing them, and sometimes even promoting the products. Common examples include boards for dairy, grains, and fruits. They play a crucial role in supporting the agricultural sector and ensuring food security.
