Collectivising farmers to improve their bargaining power with markets for better price realisation and improving the last mile delivery of services through farmer producer organisations is going to be the norm. However, FPOs suffer due to lack of trained human resources for improving management and governance.We are offering various courses for the CEOs and staff of FPOs, including board members, staff of government and non-governmental organisations to understand and manage their Farmer Producer Organisations. As a Rural Business School we will also run courses on value addition, marketing, and rural entrepreneurship for rural youth and women.
