Agribid introduces an FPO platform to aid rural farmers in the Indian marketplaces
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 6 (ANI/PNN): Agribid Private Limited, an established Agritech Company in India, has launched a first-of-its-kind Farmer Producer Organizations (FPO) initiative known as Agribid-FPO’ to work closely with over 300 FPOs and provide them with a deeper rural reach to enable the remotest farmers to access national marketplaces to sell their commodities online on its platform.
Through their relentless efforts in this direction, Agribid is now working closely with more than 300 FPOs (Farmer Producer Organisations), enabling them a deeper rural reach to every small and marginal farmer household. The Agribid-FPO initiative will enable the remotest farmers to access the national marketplaces to sell their commodities online with the help of FPO on its platform.
This recent development is a major milestone for a start-up and they are looking to build their capacity at every nook and corner to leverage this association.

Agribid Pvt limited entered the market in 2021 to address these challenges, improve farmers’ incomes, and provide them with broader, transparent markets aided by the latest technology for resilient reforms.
The company is rapidly expanding its farmer-friendly B2B digital marketplace operating in India, specializing in the sale and purchase of Agri-commodities involving participants from farmers to traders, corporate consumers, and global buyers.
“Agribid’s model is distinct from others and aims to perform as an inclusive system where each participant of the value chain can participate and aid in a better price discovery through a competitive bidding process allowing better cost realization,” said Manoj Suvarna Co-Founder, Agribid Private Limited.
” The Agribid-FPO initiative will give the most remote farmers access to national marketplaces, allowing them to sell their commodities online with the assistance of FPO on the platform. This is a significant milestone for a startup, and we intend to build capacity in every little corner of the country,” he added.
