Abstract
Agriculture, as the primary sector of the Indian economy, employs about two-thirds of the Indian people and contributes approximately 20. 19% of the nation's GDP; thus, agriculture is proudly referred to as India's backbone. The number of farms has more than doubled since the first agriculture census 45 years ago, from 70 million in 1970 to 145 million in 2015 and counting. This means a larger population in an ever-shrinking landholding, resulting in growing population pressure and widespread underemployment. Farmers are frequently harmed by inefficiencies in the transportation system. This makes them reliant on middlemen, reducing any profit (Business World, 2022). In India, Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) have arisen as a new type of aggregation model. The Central Sector Scheme for "Formation and Promotion of 10,000 Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs)" has been approved and launched by the Government of India. Initially, one FPO is assigned to each block. So far, 7059 new FPOs produce clusters have been assigned and formed. This study analyses the status of farmer producer companies promoted by various agencies in India and in particular, a case study about the FPC promoted in Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu.
