Farmer producer organization (FPO) formation and credit inclusion in bamboo business: A prospect for North Eastern Region

The study was carried out in Assam and Meghalaya of North Eastern Region of India. The total respondents considered was 380. In Assam, a few of the progressive stakeholders were availing credit from institutions but was negligible. In Meghalaya, the credit inclusion was observed only in bamboo shoot business. Formation of FPOs in bamboo business which was not observed in the region and credit accessibility through institutions to get proper market infrastructure and opportunities in global market is much needed of the hour to boost the sector.
