A comparative analysis of market facilities received by members and non-members of farmer producer organisations in Karnataka

Abstract

This article analyses the market facilities available for members and non-members of FPOs present in Bidar and Kalaburagi districts of Karnataka. The results showed that members of Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) obtained better facilities related to information, procurement, processing, transportation, insurance, and storage facilities when compared to non-members. The backward and forward linkages established by the FPOs had helped members to full-fill their requirements.
