81. UZHAVAN APP AN EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR SHARING AGRICULTURAL INFORMATION 18-Nov-19 82 Contd.., The main aim of an FPO is to ensure better income for the producers through an organisation of their own. Small producers do not have the large marketable surplus individually (both inputs and produce) to get the benefit of economics of scale.
