At present, there are more than 28,000 FPCs in India, which are largely promoted by NABARD, SFAC, and various state governments. The Government of India, in its 2019 budget, has announced the promotion of an additional 10,000 new FPCs in the next 5 years. These 28,000 FPCs are expected to work directly with about 36 million small and marginal farmer households (indirectly touching 90 million lives). With farmers new to self-management, marketing, and next-stage value-added roles as 'beyond producer-managers', their leadership (Board of Directors, CEOs, and staff) of about 250,000 people requires attention from all the stakeholders. MANAVLOK is supporting over 20 newly formed as well as existing FPCs in their value chains. Various studies undertaken by different agencies have revealed that FPCs have shown positive results in terms of increased net income for farmers, informed decision-making, improved access to inputs and agro-services, institutional credit, marketing facilities, and enhanced efficiency in farming operations.
