 An institutional analysis of performance and impact of farmer producer organizations using PLS path modelingHaripriya Veesam, Vinayak Nikam and Mrinmoy Ray Evaluation and Program Planning, 2025, vol. 111, issue C Abstract: Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) have been seen as an effective strategy by most developing countries to address the problems of small and marginal holdings, necessitating policy inputs for their enhanced performance. This paper analyses the institutional features using principles of new institutional economics and management science; evaluates their effect on the performance and impact of FPOs. Partial Least Squares Path Modeling (PLS-PM) and Ordered Probit regression analysis were used to examine the data of members of FPOs from Andhra Pradesh and the Telangana state of India. A positive and significant relationship was observed among the institutional features, rationalities, performance and overall impact, with a complementary mediation role. The study suggests improving the identified parameters of institutional features, rationalities for better performance of these institutions, and augmented impact on the farming community.
