As part of this, the state has set up seven missions and the Primary Sector Mission is one of them. To begin with, the state in collaboration with the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) has developed a strategy for Primary Sector development to enable double-digit growth in the Primary Sector across its 13 districts of the state. In order to improve welfare and living standards of farmers, particularly small holders, the government wishes to create an appropriate ecosystem in the state. Certain commodities are identified for providing necessary support system for the entire products and creating value chain. In this entire process, one of the important elements is by promoting innovative institution for farmers to support this transformation. Considering this, the Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) based on a series of consultations with public and private organizations, experts, NGOs and farmers, had brought out the Policy and Operational Guidelines to promote Farmer Producers Organizations (FPOs). Further, the GoAP requested the ICRISAT to carry out a comprehensive scoping study of the functional FPOs in the state. This study is an outcome of intensive discussions with several proposed and functional FPOs and other stakeholders across Andhra Pradesh. I am sure, this study would provide valuable input to the Government of Andhra Pradesh and its various departments, besides, other state governments in India and other countries, who plan to promote FPOs. I am congratulating the ICRISAT team for bringing this timely publication for the benefit of farming community in the state. (Nara Chandrababu Naidu) Sri S P Tucker Chief Secretary, Andhra Pradesh Message The new state of Andhra Pradesh, during the last two years have been relentlessly striving to achieve multidimensional growth. Enormous efforts have been directed to strengthen agriculture, horticulture, and fisheries, dairy, and meat/livestock sectors in terms of new technology, productivity improvement, infrastructure, knowledge, IT applications, market intelligence, linkages, and credit and finance arrangements and so on. But, majority of small and marginal farmer producers in the state are unorganized and fragmented. They are highly prone to underpricing at various stages of production, marketing and value addition. The lack of synergy among concerned government departments is further escalating this situation in the state. Even though the state has robust existing social capital and their productive relationships across commodities are absent. To overcome this situation and to generate more wealth for the farmers, there is an urgent need for creating of membership based institutions which are globally found to be backbone for primary sector growth. So, both Union and State governments are clearly putting considerable emphasis on promoting “Farmers Producers Organizations (FPOs)” as an important policy for creating an ecosystem for enhancing farmers’ profits in the state across sub-sectors. This comprehensive report on ‘Farmer Producer Organization in Andhra Pradesh – A Scoping study’ under Rythu Kosam Project is a timely effort delivered by ICRISAT team to deeply understand the snapshot of FPOs in the state. I am quite confident this report will enhance the understanding of all concerned departments, academicians, researchers, scholars and NGOs.
