IFPRI, in collaboration with the Government of Odisha, is committed to strengthening the agricultural sector and empowering farmers. As part of the ongoing efforts, Amit Kumar Burman, Devesh Roy, Mamata Pradhan, Sunil Saroj, Vandana Vidhani, and Devendra Kumar organized a two-day state level training in Dec 2024 for Farmers' Producer Organizations for 3 batches to cover 130 participants from 30 districts of Odisha.
The participants included mainly the functionaries of the FPO like the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs). The training focused on enhancing the institutional capacities for accessing markets and delivering better outcomes for member farmers. Specifically, the training addressed issues related to the structure and design of FPOs, including considerations of size and composition, to better prepare them for market access.
