10,000 FPOs to benefit from access to Fertilisers, Seeds, and Agrochemicals through this collaboration.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between CSC e-Governance Services India Limited and Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) to ensure the provision of critical agricultural inputs to Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), including 10,000 FPOs under the Central Sector Scheme. The signing ceremony witnessed the presence of Sanjay Rakesh, Managing Director and CEO of CSC SPV, and Yogendra Kumar, Marketing Director of IFFCO.

Strengthening FPOs through Essential Agricultural Inputs

The Government of India’s Central Sector Scheme for “Formation and Promotion of 10,000 Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs),” launched in 2020, aims to strengthen farmers, reduce production costs, and enhance incomes through the aggregation of agricultural produce. Under this scheme, FPOs are being empowered as Common Services Centres (CSCs) for sustainability and financial viability, generating employment opportunities and contributing to rural development.

Under this collaboration, FPOs will receive access to vital agricultural inputs, including fertilizers, seeds, and agrochemicals provided by IFFCO. These resources are expected to significantly boost productivity while promoting sustainable agricultural practices across the nation.

Advancing Rural Prosperity and Farmer Welfare

Expressing his thoughts on the occasion, Sanjay Rakesh emphasised the transformative potential of the initiative. “By leveraging the comprehensive services of CSC and IFFCO, small and marginal farmers associated with FPOs will benefit immensely. This collaboration will not only enhance rural development but also contribute to the digital empowerment of India’s farming community,” he remarked.

CSC SPV has been a dedicated partner in rural empowerment, offering services such as the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), teleconsultations, crop insurance, e-veterinary services, Kisan Credit Card facilitation, and PM Kisan scheme support through its extensive network of Common Services Centres in remote areas.

This MoU marks a new chapter in fostering rural prosperity and advancing the welfare of farmers. With the combined efforts of CSC SPV and IFFCO, the partnership is expected to bolster agricultural growth and create employment opportunities, contributing to holistic rural development.

In a momentous achievement for the agricultural sector, India has firmly established itself as a global leader in Nano Agri Inputs, encompassing Nano fertilisers and Nano micro-nutrients, heralding a transformative era in sustainable farming practices. The notable progress in nanotechnology-driven agricultural solutions has catapulted India to the forefront of innovation, providing groundbreaking solutions that reduce dependence on conventional bulk fertilisers like Urea, promoting self-reliance, and mitigating environmental impact without compromising crop yield, thereby ensuring food security. Additionally, these advancements significantly alleviate the government’s expenditure on subsidies.

Beyond established fertiliser companies, pivotal contributors to India’s ascendancy in this domain include innovative start-ups such as Ray Nano Science & Research Centre, focusing primarily on Nano technology-driven research. Actively engaged in developing avant-garde products leveraging nanotechnology for agricultural benefits, they have played a key role in shaping India’s leadership.

With a commitment to innovation and technological progress, the organisation has successfully introduced Nano Urea, utilising its patented Green Technology, and initiated operations at its fully automated nano urea plant in Mogar, Gujarat, a mere five months after receiving Fertiliser Control Order permission.

Field efficacy studies have underscored the safety and positive impact of Ray Nano Science & Research Centre’s Nano Urea, positioning it as a non-toxic and environmentally friendly alternative. This product not only enhances crop productivity but also ensures the well-being of users and the surrounding environment.

Centre is setting up 10,000 new FPOs, for which a provision of INR 6,865 crore has been made

In a virtual address to the National Conference on Enhancing Agricultural Productivity on the topic ‘Integration of Improved Seeds and Agri Inputs’, organised by the Associated Chamber of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM)  in New Delhi, Narendra Singh Tomar, Union Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister, said, “Agriculture sector is the backbone of our country and our rural economy and agriculture has such strength that the country can easily overcome adverse situations.” . 

There is a need to work in this direction to transform agriculture into advanced farming, technology should be used in agriculture and its continuity should be maintained, the stronger and more profitable the Agriculture sector is, the stronger the country will be.

Tomar said that the government is working to reduce the gap between farmers and the market, providing infrastructure in rural areas and eliminate the role of middlemen. He said that the number of small farmers in the country is more, who have small acreage and do not have money for investment; for such farmers, the Central Government is setting up 10,000 new FPOs, for which a provision of INR 6,865 crore has been made and small farmers are being mobilised.  

Farmers should do group farming, so that the input costs can be reduced, production quality improves and small farmers can shift to remunerative crops and get the price for their produce on their own terms.
