Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs)

Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy - Additional Topics

FPOs aggregate small and marginal farmers, helping them achieve scale in input purchases, technology adoption, and collective marketing. This structure reduces transaction costs, improves bargaining power, and fosters higher price realization. Policy impetus includes capital grants, skill training, and credit linkage. Exams often focus on success stories, governance models, and how FPOs can integrate into digital platforms for nationwide reach.
