What is an e-trading licence and how does a buyer trade on eNAM?

A buyer who wants to trade on eNAM registers on the platform and must hold the trading licence required for that mandi or state, such as a mandi trader licence or a unified or single trading licence that allows trading across mandis. After registration and licence verification by the mandi, the buyer can log in, view assayed lots with their grades, and place online bids during the bidding session. Knowing this helps you as a seller because the more registered, licensed buyers active on your mandi's eNAM, the more competition for your lot and the better your price discovery. So when choosing where to sell, a mandi with many active eNAM buyers is an advantage. As a farmer you do not need any trading licence to sell; only the buyers do. Confirm with your mandi how many active eNAM buyers trade your commodity.
