Agribusiness Matters Townhall: Making FPOs Investable Assets

What happens when you bring together investors who have funded FPOs; agribusiness founders who have embedded cooperatives in their organisational structures and have received external impact capital; bankers who sit on the boards of FPOs and eminent scholars who have been diligently studying the emerging model of farmer producer organisations in one room? Can this wicked challenge be addressed with an eminent panel with a rich biodiversity of mental models and experiences to not just discuss the challenge at hand, but also seed possibilities of creating pathways of investment? As you can see, that was the experiment I attempted last week in the most recent ABM Townhall. Panelists: 1. Rahul Rai, Partner, Incofin India Investment Management which led the capital round for Sahyadri Farms, India’s First Farmer-Led Organisation; Emmanuel Murray, Investment Director Caspian and someone who sits on the boards of several FPOs and farmer finance organisations. Shambu Prasad, one of the finest scholars from IRMA - which has a rich tradition of studying farmer organisations in India- recently co-wrote a terrific book, “Farming Futures, Reimagining Producer Organisations In India” along with Ajit Kanitkar. Guests: Krishnaiah Kodimela from Pasidi Panta which has received funding from Upaya Social Ventures and managed to incorporate mutually aided cooperative society in his organisational structure.
