The Government has achieved a major milestone with the registration of 10,000 Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) across the country under its flagship central sector scheme for their formation and promotion.
The initiative aims to strengthen farmers’ collective bargaining power and improve market access.
As per official data, 1,175 FPOs have been formed with 100% women membership, highlighting a strong push towards gender inclusion. Additionally, around 23.55 lakh women farmers have been brought under the scheme nationwide.
Sharing this information in a written reply in the Lok Sabha, Bhagirath Choudhary said the programme continues to play a key role in empowering farmers and promoting sustainable agricultural growth.
