The study was carried out on Ri-Lajong Farmer Producer Organisation (FPO), Nongpoh, Ribhoi district, Meghalaya with the objective of examining the factors’ influence on the annual income of member farmers of FPO during the year 2021-22 and primary data consisted of 65 members collected from Ri-Lajong FPO. The Heckman two-stage selection model was applied. Results showed that FPO significantly influenced the income of farmers by providing various facilities to conduct activities crop production, forest products, piggeries, and fish farming. All farming activities except piggeries showed a positive response to increase the income of members of the FPO. The factors such as farmers’ education and training provided by FPO showed positive influence while hired labour had influenced negatively to the income of farmers. Therefore, the study concluded that educated youth of the state should join the FPO and attend the training program organised by the FPO as it will be helpful in income enhancement and reduce the unemployment level of the state.

Farmer producer organisations (FPOs) are established to organise the marginal and small farmers at different levels in state to improve the livelihood of its member [3][4][5]. FPOs are associations of rural producers who come together on the basis of membership to pursue shared interests and engage in technical and economic activities that benefit their members.…”

The study was conducted in 2023 with the aim of finding out the constraints perceived by members of FPOs in Varanasi District, Uttar Pradesh. The Varanasi district was purposively selected for the study, focusing on FPOs with more than 5 years of existence. Among the 29 registered FPOs in the district, only four FPOs met this criterion, namely; Kashi Vishwanath Farmer Producer Company Limited (KVFPCL), Rameshwar Farmer Producer Company Limited (RFPCL), Shivansh Krishak Producer Company Limited (SKPCL), and Jayapur Seed Producer Company Limited (JSPCL). The stratified random sampling method was used with proportional allocation. 35 respondents were selected from KVFPCL and RFPCL, while 25 from JSPCL, and 55 from SKPCL were selected proportionally to make the sample size of 150 respondents., ensuring a representative and comprehensive sampling approach across these four FPOs. The statistical analysis of the collected data was conducted using the Henry Garrett ranking technique. The results revealed four types of constraints perceived by the members of FPOs. In technical constraints, underdeveloped storage facilities ranked first with a GRS of 78.05, and underdeveloped processing facilities ranked second with a GRS of 70.44. In labour and economic constraints, the lack of skilled labour in harvesting and processing secured the first rank with a GRS of 73.12, while the shortage of labour during harvesting ranked second with a GRS of 62.69. Regarding marketing constraints, the fluctuation of prices every year came in first with a GRS of 65.24, and low produce prices ranked second with a GRS of 62.55. Lastly, in organizational and financial constraints, the lack of proper infrastructure claimed the first rank with a GRS of 62.67, while the absence of connections with financial institutions ranked second with a GRS of 49.36.These insights provide valuable guidance for enhancing the productivity and sustainability of FPOs in the region and similar contexts.
