Federation of Forestry and Allied Cooperatives Ltd.
FACFED supplies affordable, eco-friendly fertilizers to members, ensuring improved soil health, higher yields, and sustainable land use. By facilitating access to inputs, we strengthen both forestry and allied agricultural activities.
We provide access to high-quality, certified seeds to promote sustainable forestry and agricultural practices. FACFED ensures that farmers and cooperatives can access improved seed varieties that enhance productivity while preserving ecological balance.
FACFED works closely with Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) to strengthen grassroots-level institutions. By building capacity, improving governance, and providing market access, we help FPOs become self-sustainable and more impactful in serving their members.
We actively participate in and implement government-supported schemes such as the Price Support Scheme (PSS) and Market Intervention Scheme (MIS). These initiatives protect farmer and cooperative incomes by ensuring fair pricing and reducing the risk of market fluctuations.
FACFED connects Indian forestry products to global markets. By meeting international standards and facilitating export opportunities, we help members showcase India’s sustainable forestry practices worldwide, increasing income and recognition for forest-dependent communities.
We enable trade among cooperatives and members within India by building efficient supply chains for forestry and allied products. FACFED ensures that communities have structured, transparent platforms for selling and exchanging goods across states.
FACFED invests in livelihood generation programs, public awareness campaigns, and social development projects to strengthen rural communities. We highlight the role of forests in climate resilience, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development, ensuring people understand the direct link between forests and their well-being.
We partner with universities, research institutions, and experts to explore new forest-based products, improve forest management practices, and develop sustainable alternatives. Our R&D focus ensures forestry contributes to economic growth while adapting to global environmental challenges.
FACFED supports members in promoting and marketing forestry produce and allied products. We assist with branding, packaging, and access to wider markets, helping communities secure fair prices while reducing dependence on middlemen. Our efforts ensure better income for members and greater recognition of community-grown products.
We introduce modern technologies such as GIS mapping, drone monitoring, and advanced forestry equipment to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact. FACFED also encourages the adoption of digital platforms, sustainable harvesting methods, and eco-friendly processing techniques to make forestry future-ready.
FACFED undertakes large-scale plantation projects, including sapling cultivation, afforestation drives, and green belt development along highways, industrial zones, and urban areas. These initiatives enhance ecological balance, improve air quality, and create rural employment opportunities through nursery and plantation activities.
Knowledge builds empowerment. We provide workshops, technical training, and institutional support to equip members with modern forestry techniques, cooperative governance skills, and sustainable livelihood strategies. Our capacity-building programs ensure long-term resilience and growth of forestry communities.
