Economic & Political Weekly 61(8), Feb 21, 2026: p.69-71 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 https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/8/discussion/can-farmer-producer-organisations-structure-be.html Economic & Political Weekly AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 408334 IIPA IIPA 2026-04-27 61(8), Feb 21, 2026: p.69-71 AR138673 2026-04-27 AR
