Our country India is mainly an agricultural country, so agriculture is of great importance and the progress of the country depends on agricultural income. Almost 70% of the people in this country are engaged in agriculture. Therefore, agriculture is the way of life and livelihood of Indians. Agricultural production is the backbone of the Indian economy. That is why it is said that if the farmer is happy, the country is happy.

In this regard, since our Parner taluka falls in the natural rain shadow region, drought and erratic weather have always been the fifth pillar of farmers. But the farmers of Parner taluka are very hardworking and face the coming natural disasters and work hard on rainwater to grow their crops. Among them, onion has become an important source of economic income for the farmers. Parner taluka is famous not only in the country but also in the world for the production of onion crops. Therefore, farmers should get a good market for their agricultural products. Their agricultural products should be weighed correctly. There should be no cheating in sales and weight. To protect the farmers from various deductions. In order to ensure that the farmers get the correct amount of their agricultural produce by selling it through public auction and to have control over all these transactions, the government enacted an independent Agricultural Produce Market Committee Act for the Mumbai region in 1939 and amended it and the Maharashtra Agricultural Produce Purchase and Sale (Development and Regulation) Act, 1963 came into force. Under that, on 21 November 1981, the Agricultural Produce Market Committee Parner was established by splitting from the Ahmednagar Market Committee and the functioning of the market committee began. Initially, the market committee, which was very insignificant and always in the D category, began to transform in the year 2000 by starting the onion purchase and sale business at the main market premises Parner. Due to this, the board of directors, secretary and most important trader of that time, the late Padunsheth Kale and the current president of the traders association Mr. Marutisheth Repale has contributed. Also, the political leadership of all parties in the taluka and the chairman, vice-chairman, and board of directors who contributed to the formation of the market committee have always tried to keep their political affiliations out of the organization and for its prosperity. Also, along with Parner taluka, the farmers of Shirur, Shrigonda, Sangamner, Junnar, and Nagar talukas have shown faith in the market committee. I congratulate them from the bottom of my heart.
