Abstract: Farmers can increase their income by increasing the productivity, decreasing the cost of cultivation in their field, ensuring the competitive price for their product with a transparent price discovery mechanisms, and also by integrating allied activities in farming, organizing the farmer producer organizations (FPOs) will be the best solution for attaining our target goal. Farmer Producer Organizations (FPO) consist of many collective Producers, especially small and marginal farmers to form an effective association to collectively address many challenges in agriculture practices, such as improved access to investment, technology, inputs, and markets availability. Farmer producer organization ensures better productivity and income for the member producers through an organization of their own. Its main purpose is to enhance the productivity of the farmer by providing linkage to the farmers, where the members will get more benefits. This review article throws light on the various dimension of the FPOs based on the review of available literature. As literature related to FPOs is scarce in the Indian situation, more reviews from global studies are included for a better understanding of various dimensions of FPOs.
