KEY POINTS
· The government’s 10,000 Farmer Producer Organisation scheme has given a major thrust to the FPO movement.
· From corporates to public service organisations, everyone has committed towards promotion of FPOs.
· FPOs, in their formative years, are required to strengthen their governance mechanism, engagement with producer members, and liaising with external agencies (like buyer, and input providers) for securing resources, etc.
· FPOs need to derive support from different group of stakeholders (farmer, government, buyers, NGOs etc), each with different norms and expectations.
· For example, the expectation of a government certifying agency for organic produce would be very different from a that of a corporate buyer.
· The certifying agency would focus on diligence while the buyer would be driven by reliability and quality.
· Need to give a better price to farmers for their produce or offering input services at reasonable cost.
· FPOs are required to internalise that different stakeholders have different yardsticks to measure the success of their venture.
· While the farmer as member may be looking at receiving timely credit from the FPO as the vital indicator for success, the corporate buyer may measure a FPO’s success based on quality of the product.
