Awareness of Rural Farmers on Farmers Producers’ Organization (FPO) and Its Activities
India stands great in the list of world agriculture and is gearing up to face the strong demand that is awaited in coming years. A great increase in global food demand is being placed for the projected population growth, and India is well-stocked to answer this quest. Diversified agro-climatic conditions throughout the length and breadth of this country have made it the second-largest producer of rice, wheat, sugarcane, cotton, groundnuts, and many fruits and vegetables.The present study aimed at knowing awareness of farmers towards FPOs and its activities in Erode District. A questionnaire was used to collect data from the rural farmers. 100 samples were chosen from the study area through convenience sampling. Staying out in front of the message of efficient practices, fair trade, and community development, FPOs make rural economies more resilient and improve the wellbeing of farming communities. Acknowledging and supporting the role of FPOs will not only be strategic but a moral obligation in the pursuit of a brighter and more inclusive future for agriculture and rural livelihoods
