About Us

To foster a vibrant & prosperous agriculture sector in the West Bengal, the State government has taken up key initiatives like launching of agriculture centric schemes Krishak Bandhu (Natun), Krishak Bandhu (Death Benefit), Bangla Shahsya Bima Yojana, BKSY and so many other farmer centric schemes.

It is a well established fact that promoting, supporting & building capacity of FPOs is the key to ensure enhanced farm income and ease of doing agriculture. It allows farmers to collectively enhance their incomes through increased productivity, usage of cost-effective production techniques, improved and convenient access to agri-inputs, adoption of latest practices and technology, and collective bargaining as well as better access to market and credit

While more than 580 FPOs are formed in the state and many more are being formed in all of the Districts of West Bengal. It has been observed that the FPOs lack market access & linkage. While on the other hand, the aggregators find it difficult to connect to a quality, professional & assured supplier of agricultural goods. This initiative of the Government of West Bengal, thus aimed at being a bridge between FPOs & Aggregators/ Buyers etc. connecting these two set of players in the agricultural value chain can foster faster economic growth.

The Department of Agriculture, Government of West Bengal has developed this web portal to function as a Digital Marketing & Information Platform. Apart from serving as a dynamic market linkage platform, it also enables the FPOs to raise their concerned and suggest policy inputs for their further growth
