Farmers' Collectives Hit Record ₹444 Cr Sales on NCDEX

Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) are increasingly leveraging the NCDEX platform, achieving record sales exceeding ₹444 crore between April and November of FY26. These collectives are using hedging tools like put options to secure better prices for their commodities, including cotton, cumin, and turmeric, leading to enhanced earnings for their members. This strategic participation marks a significant uptake since their initial engagement with the commodity platform in FY25.

FPOs are actively participating in futures and options trading on NCDEX, supported by initiatives like NABARD providing premium assistance for put options on spices. This allows them to lock in prices even before sowing. Major FPOs, such as Naadbramha Agro Farmer Producer Company in Maharashtra, have reported substantial sales, with ambitious targets for the current fiscal year, underscoring the platform's growing importance.
