NAFED organized a webinar on FPO Strengthening recently under its weekly outreach series, with a sharp focus on the theme “Credit Linkages for FPOs”.
The session discussed practical pathways for farmer producer organisations to access institutional finance, improve creditworthiness, and leverage government-backed schemes. Experts highlighted the role of banks, NABARD, cooperatives, and fintech platforms in easing credit flow to FPOs, while stressing compliance, transparent governance, and robust business plans.
The interactive webinar addressed challenges faced by FPOs in securing timely credit and emphasized capacity building, market integration, and financial literacy as key enablers for sustainable growth across regions nationwide through collaborative stakeholder engagement initiatives ahead.
