Abstract
Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) have emerged as an institutional mechanism to enhance the economic and operational effectiveness of small and marginal farmers in India. By facilitating collective input procurement, market access, value addition, and capacity building, FPOs are expected to improve agricultural productivity and farm incomes. This study empirically examines the role of FPOs in optimising agricultural effectiveness in selected taluks of Shivamogga District, Karnataka.
