Formation And Promotion – FPO
Formation and Promotion of 10,000 Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs)
It is a national initiative aimed at strengthening farmer collectives to improve market access, bargaining power, and income generation.
Under this scheme, farmers are organized into Farmer Producer Organizations, enabling them to aggregate produce, access agricultural inputs at lower costs, and collectively market their products.
FPOs act as institutional platforms for value addition, market linkages, and financial access, empowering farmers to participate effectively in agricultural value chains.
