In line with PM Modi’s vision to strengthen Indian agriculture and boost the agricultural economy, the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, Government of India, successfully organized the National FPO Samagam 2025 on 30–31 October 2025 at the NCDC and NCUI Complex, Hauz Khas, New Delhi.
The event celebrated the remarkable achievements under the Formation and Promotion of 10,000 Farmer-Producer Organizations (FPOs) Scheme and focused on empowering farmer collectives through collaboration, innovation, and value addition.
Over 500 farmers representing 24 States and 140 districts participated, along with Implementing Agencies (IAs), Cluster-Based Business Organizations (CBBOs), and progressive FPOs. A total of 267 FPOs showcased their products and innovations through exhibition stalls, reflecting the diversity and entrepreneurial spirit of India’s agricultural sector.
Of these, 57 FPO stalls were displayed at the NCDC premises in Hauz Khas, featuring a wide array of agricultural and value-added products, from grains, pulses, millets, spices, and oilseeds to honey, tea, coffee, dairy, and organic produce. Processed and value-added items such as pickles, jams, jaggery, herbal and natural products, nuts, and traditional hand-crafted foods further underscored the essence of “One India – One Agriculture.”
The two-day event also hosted a series of technical sessions and panel discussions on critical themes such as:
