What MahaFPC Does

MahaFPC (Maha Farmers Producer Company Ltd) is the state-level consortium (Federation) of Farmer Producer Companies in Maharashtra. Recognizing that individual small FPOs often struggle with working capital, market compliance, and large-scale buyer contracts, MahaFPC acts as an umbrella business body that aggregates multiple FPCs to compete in institutional and government markets.

Core Activities

  • Minimum Support Price (MSP) & Institutional Procurement: Acts as a State Level Agency (SLA) for NAFED, SFAC, and FCI to procure pulses (Tur, Chana, Moong), oilseeds (Soybean), and onion directly through village-level FPC centers.
  • MahaOnion & Infrastructure Projects: Builds decentralized scientific onion storage structures and cleaning/grading packhouses in partnership with member FPCs.
  • FPO Handholding & Capacity Building: Works as a Cluster Based Business Organization (CBBO) guiding newly formed FPOs in accounting, GST/FSSAI/APMC licensing, and business plan execution.
