2019 Highlights

Samunnati organised the FPO Summit and Awards in October 2019 exclusively for the farmers’ community and other key stakeholders in the agriculture sector. The Summit witnessed over 250+ members from Farmer Producer Organisations and 300+ stakeholders from across the agriculture ecosystem—including policymakers, agri-tech institutions, financial institutions, global thought leaders, NGOs, and development organisations working in the FPO sector.

Strong participation from the Government of India (SFAC, PM-Kisan, Ministry of Agriculture and National Rainfed Farming Authority) underscored the importance of FPOs and the Government’s commitment to strengthening the sector.
