Integrated Development of 60,000 Pulses
Villages in Rainfed Areas
Building Farmer Producer Organisations
(FPOs)
to integrate producers
in the value chain
Pilot for FPO
• Targeted at 7 states
• Mobilize 1.35 lakh farmers @ 1000/FPO
• Provide institution building support, training
in GAP, market linkages for better value
realization
Findings of baseline survey
• While efficient, smallholders cultivating pulses and
coarse grains squeezed at the bottom of value chain
• Suffer from policy neglect: no targeted intervention
• Barely 10% share in institutional credit
• Uncertain and poor quality input supply
• Poor holding capacity: compulsion to sell close to
harvest
• Poor access to CMS/WHR
• No incentive for aggregation

Interventions to build FPOs
Project Objective
Means of fulfilling objective
1. Mobilize farmers in village level
groups and build their associations
(FPOs)
•
•
•
•
•
2. Strengthen farmer capacity through
agricultural best practices for
enhanced productivity
• Demonstrations; exposure visits; training
• Link to govt. extension/KVK/SAU progs.
• FFS under ATMA
3. Ensure access to and usage of
quality inputs and services
•
•
•
•
4. Facilitate access to fair &
remunerative markets by liking to
market players
• MSP Purchase by SFAC; value chain integration
• Linking to private/ state procurement agencies
• Pilot marketing of milled pulses on futures,
spot platforms; bulk buyers.

Context of XII Plan: stress on inclusive
growth potential of agriculture
“Growth of agriculture needs to accelerate not just
to achieve an overall GDP target and reduce
inflation, but mainly to ensure inclusiveness.”
(from Chapter on Agriculture, XII Plan)
• Centrality of smallholder agriculture recognized
• Importance of building FPOs stressed
• Value chain approach to marketing recommended
15
SFAC Plans for NFSM in XII Plan
• Seek 2% outlay for FPO development per year
(about Rs. 200 crores overall in XII Plan)
• Mobilize 10 lakh pulse and millet farmers in 5 yrs
• Build FPOs; training; technology infusion; market
linkages
• Complete integration in value chain to be
undertaken
