The FPO is currently collecting the indent from the PG meetings through CRPs in register . The collation of the total demand & variety is getting difficult for the members for which they are not able to reach directly to the Seed companies (Ex - Namdhari seeds) . The KDE application will help in collecting the indent and sharing this data with the seed providers will increase the bargaining power of the FPO . The FPO will get a discount of at least 10% on the seeds , which will eventually decrease the coast of production and increase the profit of the FPO.
With the help of the Member farmer information ( Name, location , crop , land details) & FPO information's ( Total shareholders, Capital available, Area of operation , Turn over ) , they will have access to the different schemes of Horticulture and Agriculture departments . This information will also help them in applying for Capital with Banking & Non- Banking Organizations.
The FPO is not able to anticipate the expected output quantity and quality from the farmers , for which they are not able to tie up with different Institutional buyer ( Ex - Reliance ) or Big Local traders in the Market.
With the proper information about the variety of the saplings used by the farmers, providing different information regarding package of practices and pest management will be easier. The technical assistance received from the department ( Horticulture ) can be sent to the farmers in time .
