Abstract

Farmer Producer Organisation (FPO) is an addition to basket of instruments targeted towards keeping farmer interest intact. For unorganised farmers of India, this provides an organised platform with capacity endowment to act like big even being small and marginal. Its reflection can be observed and realised in every aspect relating to farmer well-being from beginning of farming operation through input purchase to output marketing in entire value chain. Every effort can be of bulky in nature with collective bargaining power to have deserved greater share in price and income flow and mass input sharing to strive forward technologically with little resource contribution. This can also be very significant in culminating adverse impact of weather, minimising storage and harvest loss, economising time, resource, transport cost and overall, various uncertainties attached to farming operation as in price fl uctuations through persuing various insurances and diversified marketing channels. Existing middlemen and intermediaries can be an important part of it with strict accountability and auditability. From all these perspectives, this paper makes an effort to showcase present functioning of FPOs in India with particular reference to West Bengal and its six commodities, namely paddy, rice, potato, onion, jute and brinjal.
