SCOPE supported small and marginal farmers to organise collectively so they could procure inputs, aggregate produce and engage markets with greater scale and negotiating strength.
Why collective action matters
Producer institutions can reduce fragmented purchasing and selling, improve access to information and enable farmers to make decisions together rather than negotiate individually with intermediaries.
Historical reach
SCOPE’s legacy impact records refer to approximately 1,000 small and marginal farmers organised under a producer company initiative in Dharwad district.
