“…FPOs however, have traditionally been beset with unique issues including transaction cost inefficiencies related to internal organization and governance, underdeveloped management capabilities, service quality problems, and product price variability (Bikkina et al., 2018 ). A Punjab state policy intervention to address these issues has also promoted “digital platforming” within FPOs, to address transparency, transactional efficiency, and build scale for overcoming operational and market challenges that currently result in modest financial returns (Figure A2 in Appendix C ).…”

C ompeting and coexisting policies (CACPs) may arise from the incompatibility of incentives, standards, and regulatory models between a local state and a federal government, or between two government jurisdictions across which supply networks operate. Traditional studies of supply chain dynamics typically explore the impact of policy regimens as standalone instruments. This study explores how the interplay between CACP regimens can affect the supply dynamics between producers, customers, and their intermediaries. We use a supply network configuration lens to assess implications for supply chain actors and system-level outcomes. Our work is motivated by the federal-state dissonance in the current dispute between India's farmers and the federal government regarding new laws that impact agricultural supply chains in India. In this case, alternative and coexisting policy interventions, ostensibly aimed at modernizing and transforming production and distribution, can lead to significant supply chain netting and inventory pooling reconfigurations in terms of material, information, and financial flows among Indian agricultural stakeholders, along with inventory repositioning and market creation options. In addition, of significance is the consequent shift in the balance between state/ nation and federal/supranational equity and bargaining power, an increasingly relevant context where supply chains operate across a common but multi-jurisdictional territory, and implications for system-level outcomes, in this particular case equity, welfare economics, and food security. We conclude by pointing to the implications of CACP regimens, and their interplay, for the broader field of operations management and supply chain research.

Purpose: Farmers have great importance in our country. They give us the stuff to consume, thus we are dependent on them. Since everyone requires healthy food to survive, farmers must be trusted. The agricultural industry is crucial to the country's economic development, food security, creation of jobs, and reduction of poverty; particularly in rural areas. The primary agricultural co-operative credit societies are providing short-term and medium-term loans to the farmers. The primary reason behind the study is to understand the agricultural co-operative credit society practices and its operations, constraints faced by the farmers of PACC Society, and whether the farmers are satisfied with the services provided by the co-operative society and utilizing this credit for productive purposes or not. Methodology: The methodology used in this study is Descriptive Research, which is mainly concerned with secondary data sources. Secondary data collected from scholarly literature, books, journals, proceedings, magazines, newspapers, personal resources, libraries, websites, government records and documents. The present study was carried out in the Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka state. The researcher collected information from secondary source. Findings: In Dakshina Kannada, the current status of co-operative society credit practices and operations were identified. Nature and disbursement of loans and advances, Beneficiary's level of satisfaction, the purpose of the credit, utilization of credit and working environment of the working staff, the level of crop credit beneficiary’s constraints, social practices, and activities were analysed. Originality: This study considered the problems faced by the members of the Primary Agricultural Credit Co-operative Society for agricultural credit. Value: This study reviewed the current status of primary agricultural credit co-operative services especially short-term crop loans to the members of the society. Paper Type: Descriptive study

“…However, as the response from the farming community was poor, the progressive farmers made frequent visits to the villages and emphasized the need for a united forum to secure a fair price for their produce. In the same year, around 300 farmers joined together and formed the "Creeping Vegetable Farmers Association" (Bikkina et al 2017;Kamala and Jyothi 2018). It took six months for the farmers association to collect all the information regarding the details on type of creeping vegetables, extend of cultivation, the quantum of yield, etc., and the existing buyers and traders.…”

Producer Company is a new concept of organizing and uniting the farmers under one umbrella to help them compete in the market collectively, by increasing the yield and getting higher net returns for their produce. The farmers are mobilized into farmer groups and their capacity is enhanced to turn them into Producer Company. This paper examines the process involved in forming and nurturing the producer company and steps taken to achieve empowerment of farmers. Case study method was used to study two producer companies which have been involved in the production of vegetables. The results reveal that benefits to members of the producer company are significantly higher than non-members and they can earn a substantial profit of Rs. 2.1 lakhs by marketing their produce.
