Proposed structure of FPO network
FPO outcomesEconomic Impact
•Per hectare production up 10%+ in 2 yrs•Increase in net return to farmers: (Inflation +10%)•Reduced gap in availability of inputs by 20-25%•Increased food & nutritional security•Market linkage for the backward and forward integration•Additional employment generated due to increased intensity of farming•Reduction in Migration
FPO outcomes (contd)Social Impact•Social capital built in the form of FPOs: deepens democracy•Improved gender relation & decision making of women farmers in FO & FPOs – given board member positions•Institutional viability•Increased bargaining power for input purchase and output marketing•Reduced social conflicts and risks and enhanced welfare at household level•Improve food and nutritional value•Leadership role of producers in technology absorption•Positive health and nutrition impact on consumers•Environment- carbon credit benefits
Project Objective: 1Mobilising farmers in groups and build their associations (FPOs) to plan and implement product specific cluster/ commercial crop cycles
Activities Outputs Outcomes
1. Organize Farmers into informal groups (FG)
2. Train members and leaders in matters relating to group functioning, group norms and systems.
3. Form associations/FPOs of FGs
4. Train members and leaders of FPOs to nurture FGs and mediate vis-à-vis external resource institutions such as government, financial institutions and markets.
1000 farmers from 5-10 villages in close geographic cluster organized into FGs prepared for intensive vegetable/pulse based livelihoods interventions.
FGs organized into FPOs/Informal associations supporting productivity, efficient access to input and output markets, linkages with agriculture programs.
75% meet or exceed quality benchmarks on group functioning
Farmers in 80% FGs confident and keen to positively change their current condition and have developed plans to synergise planning and market access on the cluster-identified products
Project Objective: 2 Strengthen farmer capacity through agricultural best practices for enhanced productivity
Activities Outputs Outcomes
1. Conduct exposure for selected men and women from project villages to villages/ farms practicing modern farming methods, such as different crop mixes, modern techniques and intensive farming.
2. Discuss alternate farming systems with groups of farmers suitable to their specific situations and generate household farming plans/ “portfolios”.
3. Identify training and extension needs and potential LRPs to function as community based extension agents.
4. Train LRPs to provide extension support to farmers adopting new farming systems.
60% of all families interested to take up improved crops have access to quality inputs.
40 % of participant land brought into intensive farming
80% families cultivate a diversified basket of locally suitable crops.
LRP training modules being implemented in large number.
Trained LRPs supporting implementation of the household and cluster level farm plans
High adoption rates of new practices promoted under this project.
75% project families report over 50% increase in yields in pre-existing crops.
75% project families have diversified their cropping pattern to cluster-identified crop
The expertise and services of a cadre of rained LRPs being utilised by the community effectively.
Project Objective: 3Ensuring access to and usage of quality inputs and services for intensive agriculture enhancing cluster competitiveness
Activities Outputs Outcomes
Helping families access working capital from SHG/MFI, banking sector and other sources.
Link / develop supply channels for inputs and services:
On-field handholding support by LRPs to ensure appropriate usage of quality inputs
Demonstration of usage and effectiveness of relevant farm mechanisation practices
70 % of participating families using quality inputs
FPOs/Producer Aggregations promoted,
families covered by these collectives
Gross Crop Output per hectare increase by 100 % in rupee value terms
Participating families have assured supply of quality inputs and services,
Network of input and services delivery mechanisms developed in the local area.
Participating families feel confident to intensify their agriculture.
Project Objective: 4Facilitate access to fair & remunerative markets including linking producer groups to marketing opportunities by market aggregators
Activities Outputs Outcomes
Developing production clusters for producing significant volume of marketable surplus
Identifying and building aggregation / desegregation centers in production cluster wherever required
Linking these clusters with market players (e.g. vegetable traders, commission agents, retailers, etc.)
Producer collectives taking output marketing
Formation of FPOs
intensive, market oriented production clusters developed.
Surplus produce marketed at remunerative prices.
participant families engaged in coordinated market-oriented production
Producers’ collectives aggregate and market produce from members.
Market aggregators/ retail chains buy produce from producer collectives.
Sustainable and competitive linkages for marketing exist for their produce,
families in production clusters have multiple options to sell farm produce,
The prevailing rates in the cluster are fair vis-à-vis large markets in the region.
