Abstract

Every year the horticultural sector of India faces huge quantity of food wastage due to lack of processing, value addition and post-harvest handling. Farmers Producer Company (FPC) can mitigate the loss through ensuring better value chain management. There are several horticulture based FPCs established in different parts of India. They have grown very fast and competing with agro-industries. The present study aimed to assess the performance of FPCs working in horticulture sector. The study was conducted in Maharashtra State of India by selecting three FPCs working in horticultural sector. Performance of these FPCs was assessed through Effectiveness Index developed for this study. Seven components viz. functional effectiveness, increase in income, increase in farmers share in consumers rupees, inclusiveness, sustainability of company, farmers satisfaction and empowerment were included in the index by following standard index forming protocol. Sahyadri Farms was found the best performing one among the selected FPCs, regarding effectiveness with a mean index score of 63.69 followed by Vasundhara Agro Producer Company Limited (50.20) and Junnar Taluka FPC Ltd. (41.29).

园艺农民生产企业绩效评估:比较案例研究

由于缺乏加工、增值和收获后处理，印度的园艺部门每年都面临着大量的食物浪费。农民生产者公司(FPC)可以通过确保更好的价值链管理来减轻损失。在印度不同地区建立了几个以园艺为基础的fpc。它们发展得非常快，并与农产工业竞争。本研究的目的是评估在园艺部门工作的fpc的绩效。这项研究是在印度马哈拉施特拉邦进行的，选择了三名从事园艺部门工作的fpc。通过为本研究开发的有效性指数对这些fpc的性能进行评估。按照标准指数形成协议，将功能有效性、收入增加、农民消费卢比份额增加、包容性、公司可持续性、农民满意度和赋权七个组成部分纳入指数。Sahyadri农场在选定的FPC中表现最好，在有效性方面的平均指数得分为63.69，其次是Vasundhara Agro Producer Company Limited(50.20)和Junnar Taluka FPC Ltd(41.29)。
