Abstract
This article attempts to bridge this gap by exploring the role of farmer-producer companies (FPCs) in fostering agripreneurship in Haryana, India. Through a mixed-methods approach, data on financial performance, market access and policies related to FPCs are used to conduct this analysis. Electronic national agriculture market (eNAM), a digital platform, improves income stabilisation directly by 18%, and the FPC members show income stability up by a tolerance of 25%–35%. Despite these advantages, regulatory hurdles, cost barriers and technology naivete are persistent problems. Targeted policy action is needed to support them, including regulatory streamlining, access to financial support systems and programmes that build the capacities of FPCs for their long-term sustainability.
