Farming realities: An in-depth exploration of constraints encountered by both member and non-member farmers of FPO constraints encountered by farmers of FPO

Abstract

Encouraging and supporting member-owned producer organizations is essential to providing farmers with the necessary tools for enhancing productivity through efficient, affordable, and sustainable resource use, ultimately leading to higher returns. These organizations can achieve this through coordinated efforts, backed by government support and successful partnerships with the private sector, academia, research organizations, societal groups, and the public sector. A total of 252 sample farmers were chosen for the study, comprising 126 members and 126 non-member farmers. The research needed to include both primary and secondary data in order to comprehend the effectiveness of farmer-producer associations.
