FPOs (Farmer Producer Organizations)

Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) are groups formed by farmers to collaborate on producing, processing, and marketing their agricultural products. By working together, members can access better resources such as seeds, equipment, and finance, and negotiate higher prices for their produce. FPOs aim to increase farmers’ income, improve product quality, and reduce exploitation by middlemen. They operate as cooperative entities, empowering farmers through collective action, knowledge sharing, and improved market access, ultimately promoting sustainable and profitable farming practices.
