| Summary, etc. biblio.abstract | India’s agricultural landscape is largely dominated by<br/>marginal and small farmers, who constitute approximately 67% and 18% of the total farming community<br/>respectively. This translates to a staggering 92 million<br/>marginal farmers with less than 0.40 hectares of land<br/>and 24 million small farmers with an average landholding of 1.42 hectares. Despite their higher productivity compared to large farmers, these smallholders<br/>face significant resource constraints and market challenges. While the formation of Farmers Producer Organisations (FPOs) has partially addressed these issues,<br/>newly established FPOs continue to encounter significant sustainability challenges. These include limited<br/>volumes, low capital, low member engagement and a<br/>subsidy-oriented rather than market-oriented approach.<br/>The present article identifies critical challenges such as<br/>limited capital, low member engagement and a predominant subsidy orientation. Currently, over 8875 FPOs<br/>are registered nationwide, but only 16–30% are sustainable. A significant issue is the inability of the majority of<br/>FPOs to raise more sizable amount of paid-up capital,<br/>highlighting the urgent need for a robust grassroots organisational ecosystem. This study proposes an eightcomponent ecosystem model for FPO sustainability,<br/>encompassing market, policy, infrastructure, services,<br/>inputs, HRD, finance and innovation. This model aims to<br/>create a comprehensive support structure for FPOs,<br/>facilitating better market access, financial resources,<br/>member participation and innovative practices. The implementation of this model, along with suggestive measures for strengthening FPOs, is crucial for their longterm viability in India’s evolving agricultural sector. |
