Tamil Nadu to set up Agricultural Guidance Bureau for farmer producer organisations

Tamil Nadu is planning to establish an Agricultural Guidance Bureau to bolster farmer producer organisations (FPOs) across the state. The bureau will focus on supporting price forecasting mechanisms and ensuring fair pricing access for agricultural produce.

The initiative aims to strengthen the connection between farmers, FPOs, and export markets, enabling better market linkages. The move is designed to enhance the operational capacity of FPOs and improve farmer incomes through improved market access and pricing transparency.
