To help farmers get better realizations for their produce, ICD is also committed to promote Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), village-based micro-companies that address the many challenges of agriculture through improved access to investments, technology, inputs and markets. The FPO operates on the principle of collectivization and aggregation of produce and cuts several layers of middlemen by directly connecting to markets. ICD has also proposed a partnership with Centre for Digital Financial Inclusion, New Delhi, to completely digitize these FPOs and train all functionaries of the FPO to make them self-reliant for all future times.
