Small and marginal farmers often face challenges such as limited bargaining power, high input costs, poor market access, and lack of organized support. Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) provide a structured solution by enabling farmers to work collectively while retaining ownership and decision-making power.
The FPO Formation & Management course focuses on building awareness and practical capacity to establish legally compliant FPOs and operate them as sustainable, farmer-owned enterprises.
FPOs strengthen farmers by aggregating produce, reducing input costs, improving access to markets, and enabling better price realization. They also create opportunities for value addition, processing, and institutional finance.
The course provides structured, practical training covering the full life cycle of an FPO—from mobilization to sustainable operations. Key areas include:
This course is suitable for farmers, SHG members, rural youth, NGO staff, community leaders, and institutions involved in agriculture and rural development. No prior experience in FPO management is required.
The program is ideal for:
The training follows a participatory and practice-oriented approach. Sessions include group discussions, case studies, real-life examples, and interactive exercises based on local agricultural contexts.
Emphasis is placed on practical understanding and application rather than theory alone, enabling participants to confidently implement learnings in real-world situations.
Beyond formation, the course emphasizes long-term sustainability. Participants learn how to manage FPOs transparently, comply with statutory requirements, and build trust among members.
Participants who complete the course receive a certificate of participation. Guidance is also provided on next steps such as accessing schemes, strengthening governance, and scaling FPO operations.
