“Farmer Producer Organisation (FPO) including Farmer Producer companies (FPC), have emerged as aggregators of farm produce to link farmers directly to markets. To signal our support to them, I intend to provide matching equity grants to registered FPOs upto a maximum of Rs. 10 lakh per FPO to enable them to leverage working capital from financial institutions. I propose to provide Rs. 50 crore for this purpose. Besides, a Credit Guarantee Fund will also be created in the Small Farmers’ Agri Business Corporation with an initial corpus of Rs. 100 crore. I urge State Governments to support such FPOs through necessary amendments to the APMC Act and in other ways”.
The scheme proposes setting up of two funds, Equity Grant Fund and Credit Guarantee Fund
Major Objectives : Enhancing viability and sustainability of
FPOs by increasing their equity base Increasing credit worthiness of FPOs Incentivizing financial institutions to
extend working capital and investment loans to FPOs to increase their business operations.
FPOs can apply to receive a one-time matching grant up to a maximum of Rs. 10 lakh to issue additional shares to members, thus increasing their equity base.
Broad principles to be adopted from a similar fund created for SMEs , which is operated by a Trust set up by SIDBI. The CGF will offer loan guarantee cover to eligible FIs which advance loans to Rs. 1 crore to FPOs without seeking collateral.
APMC laws not encourage aggregators leading to opaque market arrangements.
Need to strengthen linkages of FPOs with State extension machinery
Access and operational understanding of best practices for PHM components with market links
Unfriendly banks to get credit / finance for procuring PHM infrastructure
Meager exposure to managing modern production technology needing more agri-extension
Need for developing market linked aggregation base
No ready access to efficient quality management and marketing, pan-India logistics
