Supporting Farmers Through the FPO Model
Under the Samadhan Project, continuous efforts are being made to establish and strengthen Farmer Producer Organisations and improve the economic condition of farmers.
FPOs support farmers in purchasing agricultural inputs, production, harvesting, grading, storage and marketing of agricultural produce. The main aim of the programme is to strengthen community-based organisations and connect farmers with market-based services to help increase their income.
During the meeting, special discussions were held on collective growth of farmers, institutional strengthening and the role of the FPO model in strengthening the rural economy.
The guests said that FPOs can help farmers increase their income, reduce farming costs and get better access to markets. Farmers also actively participated in the meeting and shared their suggestions for the future development of the organisation.
Samadhan Project Working Across Six Districts
Samadhan is an integrated and sustainable livelihood development initiative being implemented since 2026 in six districts of southern Rajasthan.
The project works to increase farmers’ income and strengthen livelihoods through agriculture, livestock activities and Farmer Producer Organisations.
Through the FPOs, farmers are receiving support not only in managing agricultural costs but also in getting regular information about market prices, collective marketing opportunities and better prices for their produce.
The initiative aims to make farmers more self-reliant, promote sustainable agriculture and strengthen rural livelihoods. The joint efforts of Hindustan Zinc and BAIF Livelihoods through the Samadhan Project are helping create better livelihood opportunities and a stronger future for farmers in the region.
