| ASA has been promoting “Collectives” of small farmers in the form of Farmer Producer Companies in Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. The objective of this activity is to integrate small farmers with the supply chain of the agriculture commodity. In this FPC model about 1500-2000 small farmers are organised and then registered under the Producer Companies Act. |
