&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Farmer producer organisations have truly taken off. Now&amp;rsquo;s the time to create their own lobbying platform.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the summer of 2011, as the managing director of the Small Farmers&amp;rsquo; Agribusiness Consortium (SFAC), an autonomous society under the Union Agriculture Ministry, I addressed a group of Uttar Pradesh government officials in Lucknow. My hosts politely sat through my presentation and near-evangelical pitch, as I pushed the idea of promoting farmer producer organisations (FPO) as a means to overcome a host of challenges confronting small and marginal cultivators &amp;ndash; from fragmentation of holdings to inadequate access to credit, technology, extension services and markets. At the end of it, the senior-most official present remarked: &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s a good idea, but won&amp;rsquo;t work in UP.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But over the next five years, more than a hundred FPOs were mobilised in UP, even with the state government&amp;rsquo;s reluctant backing initially. The skepticism changed to growing interest when many of these organisations began to demonstrate vibrancy and innovation in arranging inputs, sharing technology and even seeking out markets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just a few months ago, the state-owned UP Bhumi Sudhar Nigam signed a loan agreement with the World Bank for mobilising a fresh batch of 300 FPOs, besides strengthening the already existing ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Across India, almost 3,000 FPOs have now either been registered or are in advanced stages of mobilisation. The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development has set a target of promoting another 5,000 in the next three years. The likes of World Bank and Asian Development Bank, too, have incorporated FPO development as a standard feature in several agricultural intervention projects that they are funding.&lt;br /&gt;

Now&amp;rsquo;s the time to create their own lobbying platform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the summer of 2011, as the managing director of the Small Farmers&amp;rsquo; Agribusiness Consortium (SFAC), an autonomous society under the Union Agriculture Ministry, I addressed a group of Uttar Pradesh government officials in Lucknow. My hosts politely sat through my presentation and near-evangelical pitch, as I pushed the idea of promoting farmer producer organisations (FPO) as a means to overcome a host of challenges confronting small and marginal cultivators &amp;ndash; from fragmentation of holdings to inadequate access to credit, technology, extension services and markets. At the end of it, the senior-most official present remarked: &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s a good idea, but won&amp;rsquo;t work in UP.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But over the next five years, more than a hundred FPOs were mobilised in UP, even with the state government&amp;rsquo;s reluctant backing initially. The skepticism changed to growing interest when many of these organisations began to demonstrate vibrancy and innovation in arranging inputs, sharing technology and even seeking out markets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a few months ago, the state-owned UP Bhumi Sudhar Nigam signed a loan agreement with the World Bank for mobilising a fresh batch of 300 FPOs, besides strengthening the already existing ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Across India, almost 3,000 FPOs have now either been registered or are in advanced stages of mobilisation. The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development has set a target of promoting another 5,000 in the next three years. The likes of World Bank and Asian Development Bank, too, have incorporated FPO development as a standard feature in several agricultural intervention projects that they are funding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://indianexpress.com/article/india/ryot-empowerment-giving-effective-voice-to-rural-producers-through-fpos-4561019/&quot; title=&quot;http://indianexpress.com/article/india/ryot-empowerment-giving-effective-voice-to-rural-producers-through-fpos-4561019/&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

Ryot Empowerment: Giving effective voice to rural producers through FPOs

-The Indian Express Farmer producer organisations have truly taken off. Now’s the time to create their own lobbying platform. In the summer of 2011, as the managing director of the Small Farmers’ Agribusiness Consortium (SFAC), an autonomous society under the Union Agriculture Ministry, I addressed a group of Uttar Pradesh government officials in Lucknow. My hosts politely sat through my presentation and near-evangelical pitch, as I pushed the idea of promoting farmer producer organisations (FPO) as a means to overcome a host of challenges confronting small and marginal cultivators – from fragmentation of holdings to inadequate access to credit, technology, extension services and markets. At the end of it, the senior-most official present remarked: “It’s a good idea, but won’t work in UP.” But over the next five years, more than a hundred FPOs were mobilised in UP, even with the state government’s reluctant backing initially. The skepticism changed to growing interest when many of these organisations began to demonstrate vibrancy and innovation in arranging inputs, sharing technology and even seeking out markets. Just a few months ago, the state-owned UP Bhumi Sudhar Nigam signed a loan agreement with the World Bank for mobilising a fresh batch of 300 FPOs, besides strengthening the already existing ones. Across India, almost 3,000 FPOs have now either been registered or are in advanced stages of mobilisation. The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development has set a target of promoting another 5,000 in the next three years. The likes of World Bank and Asian Development Bank, too, have incorporated FPO development as a standard feature in several agricultural intervention projects that they are funding.
