The government has launched a drive to ensure the farmers producer organisations (FPOs) scheme becomes successful to unite mainly the small and marginal farmers, estimated at 12 crore, amid the stand-off over the three farm laws that allowed freedom of choice to farmers and traders in buying-selling of agri produce. Agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Thursday asked the implementing agencies like Nabard and government agencies to focus on the scheme – National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC) – so that collectivisation of farmers help improve their bargaining power.
