India Post yet to offer its services

- SANDIP DAS

DESPITE OVER 8,500 farmer producer organisations (FPOs) being on board of the government's e-commerce platform ONDC to sell their produce, high shipping charges by private couriers are hindering their business growth.

India Post, with its extensive rural network of over 164,000 post offices, hasn't yet joined the pan-India digital platform to facilitate transportation of unique agricultural products at reasonable costs.

Currently, India Post services are available on the ONDC through third-party logistics aggregators, which pushes up shipping charges.
