At Dairy Connect 2026, a NAFED-backed Farmer Producer Organisation (FPO) — Pariyur FED Farmers Producer Company Limited — took centre stage by exhibiting dairy input products, services and solutions aimed directly at empowering dairy producers and strengthening farm-level value chains across India.
The FPO’s showcase included quality dairy inputs such as feed supplements, mineral mixtures and health-support products designed to improve milk yield, animal nutrition and herd productivity — all tailored to small and marginal dairy farmers who form the backbone of India’s milk economy.
During the multi-day event — attended by entrepreneurs, dairy professionals, agri-businesses and cooperative leaders — the FPO also shared technological insights, market linkage opportunities, and collaborative service models that can help producers reduce input costs, improve operational efficiency and gain direct access to organised markets.
NAFED’s support for the FPO highlighted the growing role of producer collectives in India’s dairy sector, aligning with broader policy goals to enhance rural livelihoods, streamline input availability and create inclusive value chains that extend beyond traditional procurement structures.
Stakeholders at Dairy Connect 2026 noted that such FPO-led showcases are important platforms where value chain innovation meets farmer engagement, allowing producer groups to build visibility, engage with input suppliers, and negotiate partnerships that can strengthen the quality and competitiveness of dairy production at the grassroots.
