AIF and the market reforms have now provided additional enablers and opened up new opportunities for FPOs. They can invest in farm equipment and infrastructure and build forward market linkages by entering into agreements with agribusinesses. Beyond the investment in traditional agribusinesses, market reforms will drive innovation in the sector and allow new business models to evolve.
