What is the full form of FPO in agriculture?

FPO (full form in agriculture) is a Farmer Producer Company. It is a registered Indian company in the Registrar of Companies (ROC).

Here are some prominent features of an FPO –
1. FPO’s shareholder members are mainly composed of farmers. Share capital of the FPO is contributed by these member farmers.

2. FPO’s member farmers are geographically close, in the closeby villages & usually within a district. They grow same / similar agricultural produce. The FPO can aggregate the produce better. Govt of India is also encouraging this with the goal of ‘One District One Crop’.

3. This structure of FPO collectives is meant to bring better business practices, better aggregation, better bargaining power, better value and retain more income for the Indian farmers.

4. Business profits from the FPO from these agricultural businesses are distributed fairly between the farmers as per their contributions.

5. FPOs have a challenge in keeping the trust of the members as well as finding the right buyers. Using modern digital tools on the web and mobile, many FPOs are able to stabilize and grow the FPO business season on season.

6. With the challenges in mind, Small Farmers’ Agribusiness Consortium (SFAC) and National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) provide matching Equity Grants and Credit Guarentee Support to encourage the formation and growth of FPOs.

7. FPO digital tools are the key to success. Are you starting an FPO or are you promoting FPOs?
