Who We Are ?

A Farmer Producer Company (FPC) is a legally registered organization of farmers that aims to improve their income and living standards. It is a hybrid of a cooperative society and a private limited company. 

What it does 

  • Helps farmers pool resources, produce, harvest, process, and market their products
  • Helps farmers reduce costs and get better returns on their produce
  • Helps farmers access markets and diversify their income
  • Helps farmers share risks associated with climate change and market fluctuations
  • Helps farmers adopt modern agricultural technologies

How it works 

  • FPCs are registered under the Companies Act, 2013
  • Each member has equal voting rights, regardless of the number of shares they hold
  • Profits are distributed among the members

**Who can form an FPC? 

  • 10 or more primary producers, such as farmers, milk producers, fishermen, weavers, rural artisans, and craftsmen
  • Two or more producer institutions
  • A combination of both

BENEFITS

The main aim of FPC is to ensure better income for the producers through an organization of their own. Small producers do not have the volume individually (both inputs and produce) to get the benefit of economies of scale. Besides, in agricultural marketing, there is a long chain of intermediaries who very often work non-transparently leading to the situation where the producer receives only a small part of the value that the ultimate consumer pays. Through aggregation, the primary producers can avail the benefit of economies of scale. They will also have better bargaining power vis-à-vis the bulk buyers of produce and bulk suppliers of inputs.

STATUS

​So far, there are 9600+ FPOs registered of which 8600 + are working actively in agriculture and allied activities. State-level Producer Companies organized in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh, have yielded encouraging results particularly organizing seed production, linkages with processors, and MSP procurement. Despite impressive growth in the number of FPOs across the country, they face several challenges ranging from management of the business, irregular supply, and lack of timely financial assistance.

TRACTION

Mobilizing farmers into their collectives, as Farmer Producer Organisations, has emerged as the most preferred institutional mechanism for farmer prosperity by policy makers and development agencies- lynchpin strategy for Doubling Farmers’ Income. Budget 2018 had slew of measures supporting FPOs including 5-year tax breaks. In Budget 2019, Government of India has announced setting up of 10,000 FPOs across the country in the coming 5 years. Under this Central scheme, the agriculture ministry will fund, handhold, train, ensure easy credit availability and provide other support to the FPCs to make them viable. The government will also provide them with technological interventions for better output and they will be able to have access to shared affordable resources.
