Andhra Pradesh (Agricultural Produce and Livestock) Markets Act 1966
STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Area) Commercial Crops and Markets Act, 1933, which is in force in the Andhra Area of the State, provides for the better regulation of marketing of commercial crops and the establishment of markets for that purpose. The Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Agricultural Market Act, 1339 Fasli, which is in force in the Telangana Area, provides for the establishment of markets for the purchase and sale of all important articles of agricultural produce and livestock, and for the better regulation of such markets.
The question of integrating these two Acts was considered at a conference of all market committees in the State held in November 1957. The conference examined the recommendations of the Ad hoc Committee appointed by the former Hyderabad Government in 1954 to review
