The goal of this research is to better understand the role and responsibilities of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the development and execution of FPOs, as well as the path forward for FPO success. NGOs are better at assisting farmers in learning from their own experiences because they are in closer contact with them. They also have a better understanding of the real situation on the ground. The promotional and enabling authorities in Andhra Pradesh are sharing responsibility for FPO implementation. NABARD, the Department of Agriculture, and ICRISAT, among others, serve as promoters, while NGOs serve as facilitators or resource institutions for a limited time. NGOs excel in community mobilisation and have a large response rate. Several FPOs have promoted local, capable, and reputable NGOs. The function of the NGO as a facilitating agency includes farmer mobilisation, community will, participation, assistance in FPO registration, leadership development, management accountability, self-governance, compliance, and reports to the government. Some of the facilitating or resource institutions involved in the promotion of FPOs in Andhra Pradesh state include Rashtriya Seva Samithi (RASS), Accion Fraterna (AF-Ecology), FES, APMAS (Mahila Abhivruddhi Society, Andhra Pradesh), AAA, Centre for Sustainable Agriculture. NGO's are usually good at social mobilisation, but they lack the business development, supply chain, and marketing expertise that are necessary for FPOs to succeed as a corporate organisation. As a result, before the end of their tenure, NGOs must have a clear departure plan for sustainable and profitable FPOs; otherwise, the future of FPOs may be non-futuristic.
