Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs)

Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) are groups formed by farmers to collaborate on common goals like sharing resources, better market access, and improving bargaining power. By working together, farmers can reduce costs, access better technology, and negotiate fair prices for their produce. FPOs often provide training, financial support, and supply chain management, helping smallholders become more competitive and sustainable. Essentially, they enable farmers to function collectively, strengthening their position in the market while maintaining individual independence.
