Promotion of Farmer Producer Company
About Our Promotion of Farmer Producer Company Program
ANIKETANA GNMSS is actively implementing the flagship initiative of the Government of India and the Government of Karnataka for the promotion and strengthening of Amruth Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs), with financial support from the Watershed Development Department, Government of Karnataka. The programme aims to enhance farmer collectivization, promote value addition, improve market access, and strengthen rural livelihoods through farmer-owned enterprises.
The initiative is being implemented across ten districts of Karnataka—Ramanagara, Chikkamagaluru, Chamarajanagara, Vijayapura, Koppal, Davanagere, Chikkaballapura, Chitradurga, Bengaluru Urban, and Bengaluru Rural—in collaboration with key line departments including Agriculture, Horticulture, Sericulture, Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, and Handlooms & Textiles.
Building on its extensive experience in promoting and strengthening Farmer Producer Companies across agriculture and allied sectors, ANIKETANA GNMSS has developed significant expertise in establishing, nurturing, and scaling farmer-owned enterprises across diverse value chains. With proven capabilities across multiple sectors, the organization supports FPCs in evolving into sustainable, professionally managed, and market-oriented enterprises that enhance farmer incomes and improve value realization for producer members.
