FPOs enjoy higher creditworthiness with banks, NABARD support, priority sector lending, and access to government credit schemes like Kisan Credit Cards.
Direct Market Linkages
Direct connections with retailers, wholesalers, processors, and exporters eliminate middlemen and increase profit margins for farmer members.
Government Subsidies
Access to SFAC equity grants, tax exemptions, subsidies under various government schemes, and financial incentives for agricultural development.
Technology & Training
