Odisha mangoes now in France, Belgium as exports soar
agricultural export hub
. This achievement adds to an already growing list of international markets, including Dubai, London, Birmingham, Rome, Venice, and Dublin.
Gitashree Padhi, Deputy Director of Horticulture (DDH), Dhenkanal, said, 'The global acceptance of Odisha mangoes in markets like France and Belgium reflects the potential of our farmers and the strength of our horticultural ecosystem.'
During the first week of June 2025, 13.4 metric tonnes (MT) of mangoes were exported to London and Dubai, significantly contributed by
Farmer Producer Organizations
(FPOs). The exports were made possible through active involvement from the Saptasajya Farmer Producer Company, Dharitree Agro Plus Company, Kankadahad Farmer Producer Company and Sugandha Farmer Producer Company.
Since exports began in May 2024, Odisha's agri-export volume is nearing 100 MT, with mangoes — especially Amrapalli and Dashehari varieties — making up a significant percentage of the total.
Expanding into new markets has delivered direct benefits to Odisha's farming communities. Farmers have earned 40–60% higher prices for their mangoes, enabled by direct export access, improved quality standards, and aggregation through FPOs.
In 2024–25, Odisha entered seven international markets. In the first few months of 2025–26, the state has already exceeded that number, both in terms of destinations and export volumes. This growing momentum reflects the Odisha government's focused efforts to establish the state as a leading agri-export centre.

Kerala's broiler poultry sector faces sustainability crisis amid rising costs
Broiler poultry production in Kerala is inching towards unsustainability, driven by escalating input costs and evolving market threats. The break-even price for producing one kg of chicken in the State has reached ₹93, underscoring the growing financial strain on poultry farmers. 'Recent market developments have compounded the issue. The cost of a 50 kg poultry feed bag has surged by ₹90, while the price of day-old chicks has nearly doubled from ₹22 to ₹40. Most of the raw materials for poultry feed are sourced from neighboring States, where prices are continuously rising. In addition, the cost of essential inputs for deep litter rearing, a common method of poultry farming, has also spiked,' said T.P. Sethumadhavan, former director, Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University. Another major concern is Kerala's dependence on other States for day-old chicks, which increases vulnerability to supply chain disruptions. Emerging diseases further complicate the issue. This situation is exacerbated by the fact that poultry farming is yet to be officially recognised as either an agricultural or industrial activity, despite being in active practice in the State. A recent court verdict that could have provided clarity on this classification remains unimplemented, he said. While Kerala presents huge potential in the retail poultry segment, especially in ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook categories, the State's chicken processing infrastructure is still underdeveloped and not aligned with market demands. The Ministry of Food Processing Industries offers attractive projects and incentives in this space, including subsidies up to ₹10 crore for cold chain and food processing ventures. However, Kerala has seen comparatively low participation in these schemes. 'To harness the growing market and ensure long-term viability, poultry entrepreneurs and farmers must transition into market-oriented processing and value addition. This includes establishing processing units tailored to consumer demand; adopting strict biosecurity measures to curb the spread of diseases and participating in capacity-building and skill development programmes for improved productivity, Dr. Sethumadhavan pointed out. Furthermore, there is immense potential in promoting Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) focussed on poultry. These FPOs can help aggregate production, streamline processing and marketing, and establish farmer-producer companies that strengthen the value chain from farm to fork. Despite current challenges, the demand for poultry meat in Kerala is on a steady rise. Strategic interventions and policy support could unlock significant opportunities for sustainable growth in the sector, he said.

Bihar youth turning entrepreneurs through PMFME scheme, creating jobs in Motihari
Motihari (Bihar): Bihar's economic landscape is undergoing a transformation, with its youth no longer compelled to migrate in search of employment. Thanks to the Prime Minister's Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) scheme, many young individuals are not just becoming self-reliant, but are also generating employment opportunities for others. In East Champaran's Motihari district in Bihar, young entrepreneurs are setting up small-scale food processing units by leveraging the PMFME scheme. These enterprises are helping them become financially independent while also uplifting their communities by providing much-needed jobs. One such inspiring story is that of Arun Kushwaha, a resident of Motihari. Once a struggling farmer, Arun's life took a turn when he learned about the PMFME scheme. With the help of the State Bank of India (SBI), he secured a loan under the scheme and established a dairy farm unit in his village. Today, Arun's unit processes and packages milk, curd, cheese, and lassi, which are then exported to nearby markets. His monthly income ranges between Rs 1 lakh to Rs 1.5 lakh, and more importantly, he has created employment for nearly 30 local people involved in packaging, logistics, and marketing. 'Earlier, I was preparing to migrate in search of work, as farming was not yielding enough to sustain my family. But PMFME came as a game changer. Now, I'm not seeking a job – I'm providing jobs,' Arun told IANS. His success has inspired others in the village, especially those who once worked outside Bihar. Many have returned home to find meaningful employment in Arun's unit. Families are now able to live together again, enjoying a stable livelihood in their own village. Arun's story exemplifies the growing impact of the PMFME scheme, launched on June 29, 2020, by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries. The centrally sponsored scheme aims to enhance the competitiveness of existing micro-enterprises in the unorganised food processing sector and to formalise the industry through financial support and technical assistance. The scheme also seeks to empower Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), Self Help Groups (SHGs), and Producer Cooperatives across their value chains. Under the scheme, 2 lakh micro food processing units are set to receive direct assistance via credit-linked subsidies, along with support for common infrastructure and institutional development.

Empowering smallholder farmers & marginal farmers through formation & promotion of FPOs
Dr. Prashant Prabhakar Deshpande has post-graduated in Economics with a Gold Medal in 1976 and was awarded a Ph.D in Social Sciences from Nagpur University in 2007. Introduction The Central Sector Scheme for Formation and Promotion of 10,000 Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 29th of February, 2020. The scheme was launched with a budget outlay of Rs 6,865 crore till 2027-28. Since the launch of the scheme, Rs 254.4 crore in equity grants have been released to 4,761 FPOs and credit guarantee cover worth Rs 453 cr has been issued to 1,900 FPOs. Recently, FPOs were in the spotlight as India reached a transformative milestone by establishing 10,000 Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), ahead of the March 31, 2025, deadline, collectively bringing together nearly 30 lakh farmers across the country, 40% of whom are women. These FPOs are now conducting business worth thousands of crores of rupees, contributing immensely to the growth of the agricultural sector. On the occasion of the release of the 19th instalment of PM-KISAN in Bhagalpur, Bihar, the Prime Minister launched the 10,000th FPO, a milestone marking a significant leap in Farmer Welfare and inclusive agricultural development. The 10,000th FPO was registered in Khagaria district and focuses on maize, banana, and paddy. The concept behind the Farmer Producer Organisations Farmers who are the producers of agricultural products can form groups. To facilitate this process, the Small Farmers' Agribusiness Consortium (SFAC) was mandated by the department of agriculture and cooperation, ministry of agriculture, government of India, to support the state governments in the formation of FPOs. Objectives To provide a holistic and broad-based supportive ecosystem to form to facilitate the development of vibrant and sustainable income-oriented farming and overall socio-economic development and wellbeing of the agrarian communities. To enhance productivity through efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable resource use to realise higher returns through better liquidity and market linkages for their produce and become sustainable through collective action. To provide handholding and support to new FPOs up to five years from the year of their creation in all aspects of management of FPO, inputs, production, processing and value addition, market linkages, credit linkages, and use of technology etc. To provide effective capacity building to FPOs to develop agriculture entrepreneurship skills to become economically viable and self-sustaining beyond the period of support from the government. The Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) The FPOs are collectives formed by farmers to: Enhance productivity; Reduce costs, and; Improve market access through cooperation. The primary aim of an FPO is to enable farmers to benefit from the economies of scale, enhancing overall Farmer Welfare. The Small Farmers' Agribusiness Consortium (SFAC) under the Ministry of Agriculture plays a pivotal role in supporting the formation of the FPOs, which are registered under either: The Companies Act, or; The Co-operative Societies Act. Need for FPOs Small, marginal, and landless farmers face challenges during the agriculture production phase, such as: Access to technology; Quality seeds; Fertilisers and pesticides, and; Requisite finances. Challenges in marketing their produce due to a lack of economic strength. FPOs help in the collectivisation of such small, marginal, and landless farmers, giving them collective strength to deal with such issues. managing their activities together to get: Better access to technology; Inputs; Finance, and; Market for faster enhancement of their income. The way FPOs help Smallholder Farmers Achieving Economies of Scale FPOs help small and marginal farmers reduce input costs and secure better prices by aggregating purchases and sales. Enhanced Credit Access Access to institutional credit since long a barrier for smallholders, is improved through FPOs, aligning such support with ongoing government schemes for farmers aimed at financial inclusion. Accessing Global Markets FPOs enable smallholders to access international markets. Overcoming Shrinking Farm Sizes With average landholding size shrinking from 1.08 hectares in 2015–16 to just 0.74 hectares in 2021–22, FPOs help farmers aggregate resources and invest in modern equipment. This consolidation enables economies of scale: Allowing for bulk purchases; Shared services, and; Use of advanced machinery is improving productivity, a key enabler of agricultural sector growth. Supporting Value-Addition & Processing Through shared infrastructure like mini-mills and cold storage FPOs help farmers earn more by adding value to raw produce, strengthening Farmer Welfare through diversified income streams. Key Features of the Scheme Up to Rs 18 lakh financial aid over 3 years Matching equity grant of Rs 2,000 per farmer (max Rs 15 lakh) Credit Guarantee up to Rs 2 Crore in project loans Cluster-based handholding support for 5 years Challenges Faced by FPOs Many farmers joining FPOs have limited exposure to modern agricultural practices, quality standards, and market requirements. Most farmer-leaders lack formal training in business management, financial planning, human resources, and strategic planning. Most FPOs begin with minimal capital contributed by farmer members who themselves have limited financial resources, creating a precarious situation where the organisation struggles to invest in necessary infrastructure, working capital, or growth opportunities. Farmer members often expect immediate benefits from their FPO membership but are reluctant to make significant financial contributions. Traditional financial institutions often view these organisations as high-risk borrowers due to their agricultural focus, limited collateral, and perceived management weaknesses. Many FPOs lack the market intelligence necessary to make informed decisions about what to produce, when to sell, and at what prices, putting them at a disadvantage competing with established suppliers or negotiating with buyers. Epilogue By fostering collectivisation, enhancing market access, and providing financial and institutional support, the initiative has empowered millions of small and marginal farmers, including women and economically weaker sections, boosting agricultural productivity and income, contributing to rural job creation and economic resilience. As FPOs continue to evolve, they promise a more equitable and resilient future for India's agricultural landscape, it is opined. Critics however state that it is critical to move beyond numbers. They opine a target-oriented approach may work in the initial phase. As such, although reaching the target of 10,000 FPOs ahead of the March 31, 2025 deadline is commendable, there is now a need to focus on better outcomes.
