Abstract:
This research paper aims to evaluate the impact of Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs) on individual members and identify the challenges faced by them within this organizational structure. FPCs have emerged as an important agricultural development model, facilitating collective action and empowering farmers through improved market access, enhanced bargaining power, enhanced forward & backward linkage and shared resources. This study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the implications of FPCs on farmers' livelihoods, economic well-being and social empowerment. Additionally, it aims to identify and address the common problems encountered by FPC members, offering recommendations for effective solutions and policy interventions.
