Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) in India aim to improve farmer incomes by creating group enterprises with enhanced bargaining power and market access.
66% of FPOs in India have been operational for less than 4 years with an average annual revenue of ₹700-800 per member, aiding in steady growth.
FPOs are crucial in livelihood development for small farmers and are transitioning subsistence agriculture towards more market-oriented practices.
While FPOs are playing a significant role in uplifting rural economies, challenges such as viable business models, investment limitations, and skilled workforce shortages persist.
