Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
India is an agriculture based country and majority of the farmers in the country are small and marginal farmers. These farmers face the problems of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and all inputs. Major problem is marketing there produce, an increase of intermediaries. In order to overcome this problem the study is conducted to know the problems and benefits to the farmers by forming the FPOs. The Study was conducted on the basis of both qualitative and quantitative methods, the results found were Organic farming is not practiced in the locality, no regular and authentic source of information to the farmers regarding market prices. The farmers generally rely on their own past experiences and information provided by fellow farmers. The benefits after forming as FPO’s were per hectare production improved by 10 per cent by the end of the study. Minimum 20 per cent rise in net income of the FPO farmers.
