Report Highlights Growth and Challenges of India’s Farmer Producer Organisations
The State of the FPO Sector 2026 report highlights that India has nearly 50,000 registered Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), with significant growth following a 2021 government scheme. Women-led FPOs show stronger resilience and organizational commitment, though systemic barriers like low land ownership and limited capital persist. Many FPOs face challenges in accessing institutional credit, with only 30% receiving bank loans. Despite growth, most FPOs have low paid-up capital and limited enterprise readiness, struggling with regulatory compliance and market access.
