India’s First Private Agricultural Mandi at Nashik The Sahyadri Farmer Producer Company (FPC) (based in Nashik) is set to launch the first ever private agricultural mandi (market) for grapes in Mohadi village in Dindori taluka, Nashik, Maharashtra. The world-class infrastructure will be established in the next three months at a financial outlay of Rs. 25 crores. FPC will develop a 100-acre dedicated market space integrated with world-class infrastructure along services from banking to storage, processing, and packaging under one roof.
