Objectives of FPOs

1. Empowering Small and Marginal Farmers: One of the primary

objectives of FPOs is to empower small and marginal farmers
by promoting collective action. These organizations provide a
platform for farmers to come together, pool their resources, and
collectively engage in agricultural activities. By doing so, FPOs

enhance the bargaining power of small farmers, enabling them
to secure better prices for their produce and access resources
