Abstract

Producer organisations are seen as vehicles for upliftment of rural livelihoods as they reduce transaction costs and provide access to input and output markets besides giving better bargaining power to their members. Given that women producers are more marginalised in terms of their access to and control over means of production, the significance of such organisations is even higher for such producers. However, the gender lens has not been used to assess the effectiveness of such producer agencies. This paper attempts to document and analyse the performance of all-women member PCs in Central India to see how these agencies fare if they are constituted of only women members. It examines their physical and financial performance and assesses their member impact in terms of input and output market benefits besides the engagement of members in their agency.
