Economic & Political WeeklySummary: While farmer producer organisations offer significant benefits, including improved market access, productivity, and income for member farmers, their structure raises concerns about potential anti-competitive implications, such as market control, exclusive agreements, collusive behaviour, and impacts on related markets. International frameworks offer insights into balancing collective bargaining with fair competition. Legislative intervention and a nuanced regulatory approach are suggested to ensure that FPOs’ operations do not undermine competition while achieving economic objectives for farmers.-Reproduced
