There’s good news for Indian farmers as the Central Government has recently launched an enthusiastic programme to develop around 10,000 FPOs (Farmers Producers Organisations) throughout the nation. These FPO’s would be beneficial mostly for those small and marginal farmers, whose landholdings are less than one hectare. According to a media report, such farmers account for 86 per cent of total farmers in the country. 

The FPOs (Farmers Producers Organisations) are member-based organisations. Which means that in an FPO, farmers will be the members. These organisations will include experts from various fields like agri-marketing, crop husbandry, value-addition & processing, and Information technology etc. so that they can help farmers on all issues.  The Central government has allocated a fund of Rs 4,496 crore for this project.
