SINCE THEIR ONBOARDING last year on an experimental basis, there has been a spurt in the sales of assorted farm goods by the farmer producer organisations (FPOs) on commodity bourses. This has helped these collectives to achieve price realisation for their members in the current fiscal.

On the NCDEX platform during April-September 202526, as much as 62 farmer collectives have sold over ₹377 crore worth of agricultural commodities - cotton, cumin, castor, coriander, turmeric, cotton seed oil cake and guarseed. Trade on the platform has ensured that 35 farmer collectives have clocked sales in excess of ₹ 1 crore in the first half of FY26.
