Abstract

Using a household-level survey, this paper examines the impact of market support mechanisms and farmer producer organizations in accentuating income among agricultural households in India. It is found that income from the cultivation of agricultural households has increased at a slow pace of 3.3% per annum during 2002-03 and 2018-19. However, farmers who have participated in FPOs reported having higher income as compared to non-farmers. So, FPOs have enabled the small and marginal farmers to derive higher income through collective bargaining. Thus, the study emphasizes the need to promote FPOs by providing them incentives and adequate support and training facilities.
