Abstract

The paper has evaluated the functioning and performance of farmers producer organizations of Telangana. The study is based on primary data collected through pre tested schedule from 60 member farmers of four FPOs of Janagaon and Siddipet districts of Telangana. The SWOT analysis revealed that the FPOs of the region are fortunate to have been supported by promoting institutions. The low level of participation ails the FPOs of the region as observed in other parts of the country. It is suggested by members that the liberal provisioning of capital is important for expansion of business and making FPOs a sustainable business entity.
