November 8th, 2011 - 9:06 pm ICT by IANSThiruvananthapuram, Nov 8 (IANS) The Forward Markets Commission (FMC) is planning to increase the number of ticker boards, which give real time access to prices of farm commodities, from the existing 18 in Kerala, a statement said Tuesday.
The FMC, a commodities market regulator, said that the increase would be done in consultation with the state government.
As part of introducing more reforms, the FMC and the National Multi-Commodity Exchange (NMCE), which is the lead exchange for Kerala, will consult the stakeholders, including producers and traders, here Wednesday.
Kerala has been leading in participation in the commodity futures market where farmers participate through co-operative societies.
