India Post’s new logistics pilot in Gujarat has helped five Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) overcome supply‑chain hurdles, resulting in a doubling of their business volumes.
India Post has launched a logistics pilot in Gujarat aimed at supporting local Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs). The programme leverages the postal network to streamline the movement of agricultural produce from farms to markets.
Five FPOs participating in the pilot reported that the new system has cut delivery times and reduced transportation costs. As a result, their sales volumes have doubled since the pilot began.
The initiative is part of India Post’s broader effort to enhance rural supply chains and provide farmers with better market access. Officials say the success of the pilot could lead to wider roll‑out across other states.
