A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed on Friday between the State Government and the National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC) at the Krishi Bhawan here for promotion and management of Farmer Producer Organisations.
Under this Central scheme, the NCCD would form Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) and would impart training, proper guidance to the small and marginal farmers of the State to face various challenges in production, technical knowhow, quality of production, optimum price realisation, credit, seed production, processing, utilisation and marketing. These FPOs would be governed or managed as per Cooperative Society Act.This Central Section scheme is being implemented in the State for benefit of the farmers due to their able guidance.
