What is a Farmer Producer Company?

A Farmer Producer Company (FPC), established under the Companies Act, 2013, empowers farmers by addressing key challenges such as limited market access, high input costs, lack of credit, and fragmented landholdings. By pooling resources, FPCs enable collective bargaining, reducing costs for inputs and securing better prices for produce by eliminating intermediaries. They provide access to government grants, subsidies, and low-interest loans, along with shared infrastructure like warehouses and processing units to minimize post-harvest losses. FPCs also offer training in modern agricultural practices, mitigating risks and boosting productivity. With professional management and economies of scale, FPCs transform farming communities into profitable ventures. Join or form an FPC today to unlock growth opportunities and ensure sustainable, profitable farming. Contact us for expert assistance in registration, compliance, and resource mobilization!
