 THE SOURCE OF
NEXT GEN SMART FOOD
Opportunities and Support provided by Dept. of Agriculture,
Govt. of Karnataka

Karnataka stands as the 5th largest State in India in terms of area and production
under organic certification (fully certified plus in-conversion). The major export
markets are USA and Europe and the demand for organics are increasing rapidly. The
crops that Karnataka can supply as organic certified and tap the expanding demands
are in a wide range, including rice, millets, fruits, vegetables, chillies, ginger, medicinal
and aromatic crops, soybean and sesame among others.

The climate and a diverse production base offer immense opportunities for the State.
Our farmers have combined innovative and indigenous methods to pioneer the organic
and millet movement to overcome challenges of conventional chemical agriculture,
excessive dependence on external inputs, and high cost of cultivation.

Organic Farming has witnessed steady growth over the past decade with
the certified area increasing from a mere 2,500 ha in 2004 to 86,945 ha
in 2017–18.

The organic trade in 2017 is touching Rs. 4,500 Cr, which is only 0.75% of the global
organic trade (Rs. 6,00,000 Cr). India has the potential to reach at least Rs. 10,000 Cr
by 2020 (USD 2.0 billion). Karnataka therefore can plan to make a good share of this.

FARMER PRODUCER
ORGANIZATIONS
The Department of Horticulture, Government of Karnataka has initiated formation of
Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) during 2014-15 with the management
support of Small Farmers Agribusiness Consortium (SFAC), New Delhi. The scheme
supports horticulture farmers to increase their productivity level and also income
resulting in livelihood security. The major objective of the scheme is to promote
economically viable, self governing in a democratic manner. The concept of FPO is to
focus on formation of farmer interest groups (FIG) consisting of 20 farmers in each
group, fifty such FIGs will form one FPO, so that each FPO will have 1000 members.
The strategy in this project is to provide the required assistance and resources such as
inputs, technical knowledge, and infrastructure for post harvest management, value
addition and marketing linkages. These activities will be coordinated and supported by
a qualified Resource Institution (RI) appointed by SFAC, New Delhi.
During 2014-15, Department of Horticulture has formed 58 FPOs under CHD,
Beekeeping, VIUC, NHM & Sujala – III programmes covering about 58000 farmers.
Another 34 FPOs during 2015-16 were initiated to cover 34,000 farmers.
A new State FPO policy is being brought out to encourage more commodity
oriented FPOs.
Significant Investments
• For FPO formation and maintenance, the Department of Horticulture has deposited
approximately Rs. 35 lakhs per FPO for total 3 years to SFAC, New Delhi.
• Rs. 28.79 Cr has been deposited till date for formation and maintenance of 92 FPOs.
• The Department has provisioned working capital assistance of Rs. 25 lakhs and
90% subsidy for infrastructure up to Rs. 100 lakhs per FPO.
• From the year 2015-16, Rs. 1350 lakhs has been provided to 90 registered
FPOs as Working Capital and Rs. 1866.20 lakhs for 90 registered FPOs as 90%
assistance for establishing Custom Hiring Centre (CHC).
REGIONAL FEDERATIONS
OF ORGANIC FARMER
ASSOCIATIONS
The Department of Agriculture, Govt. of Karnataka has facilitated the formation of
14 Regional Federations of organic farmers associations to provide an organized
market for the State’s organic produce. Organic farmer associations in each Holbi are
federated into federations at the district level.
Through these Federations, post harvest activities viz. collection, grading, value
addition, processing, packaging, brand development and marketing of organic produce
are being taken up apart from consumer awareness programs and other activities.
A key aim of the Federations is to eliminate the middlemen in the marketing of organic
produce, thereby providing remunerative prices to organic farmers which would in turn
improve their economic conditions by offering higher returns.
A central level Federation is being proposed by integrating all district level federations.
Main Objectives
• To encourage bulk and quality production of organic produce through group
approach, capacity building, technology transfer and hand holding support to groups
in the initial years.
• To strengthen infrastructural facilities for collection, grading, value addition,
processing, packaging of organic produce.
• To create direct market linkages between organic farmers/ associations and
retailers, bulk marketeers and exporters.
• To ensure publicity and consumer awareness to expand the domestic market as
well as the export market for Karnataka’s organic produce
